OUT-OF-SCHOOL WORKSHOPS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVISED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Improvizirana glasbila, narejena iz odpadnih ali naravnih materialov, nam ob izdelavi omogočajo tudi učenje novih izrazov in znanj. Med izdelovanjem glasbil in igranjem nanje otroci urijo ročne spretnosti, spoznavajo in usvajajo nove pojme, tehnike ter številna znanja. Namen diplomskega dela je bil predstaviti zunajšolske delavnice izdelovanja in uporabe improviziranih glasbil. Cilj je bil ugotoviti, ali so delavnice izdelovanja improviziranih glasbil primerne za otroke prve triade. V teoretičnem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo, v praktičnem delu, vsebinsko navezujočem se na teoretični del, pa smo uporabili praktično metodo dela, ki je temeljila na akcijskem raziskovanju in projektnem delu. Vzorec je zajemal deset naključno izbranih otrok med četrtim in devetim letom. Ugotovili smo, da so delavnice izdelovanja improviziranih glasbil zasnovane tako, da so vsebinsko, metodološko in organizacijsko ustrezne in primerne za otroke prve triade. Izsledki raziskave kažejo, da so improvizirana glasbila otrokom zanimiva, saj jim ponujajo možnost ustvarjanja glasbe. Vzdušje na delavnicah je bilo pozitivno, otroci so se na delavnicah dobro počutili in so bili ustrezno motivirani. Radi ustvarjajo, posegajo po glasbilih in nanje igrajo, s tem pa glasbo povezujejo s pozitivnimi občutki.Construction of improvised musical instruments made from waste or natural materials enables us to learn new terms and knowledge. While making and playing musical instruments, children develop manual skills, discover and learn to use new terms, techniques and knowledge. The aim of the Diploma thesis is to present out-of-school workshops on the construction and use of improvised musical instruments. The goal was to establish whether these workshops on the making of improvised musical instruments are suitable for children of the first triad. In the theoretical part, we used a descriptive method, and in the practical part, which is related to the theoretical part, we used a practical work method based on action research and project work. The sample included 10 randomly selected children aged from four to nine years. We found that workshops on the construction of musical instruments are designed so that they are suitable for children of the first triad in terms of context, methodology and organisation. The research findings show that children find improvised musical instruments interesting, for they give them the possibility to create music. The workshops are conducted in a positive atmosphere, children feel good there, and they are adequately motivated. They like to create, use and play musical instruments, connecting music with positive feelings
