New Year's Live Cartoon's event at LOFT ⭐At the beginning of the meeting, the children watch a famous cartoon, then we remind them that what they watched was different from what they watched on TV, that's when they notice that the movie is not with the original sound, but we are playing it on the spot, making different sounds. Then comes the stage of getting to know the instruments, after which we watch the second cartoon, at that time the children should pay more attention to understand which instrument the cat is playing when it walks, what sound it makes when the mouse runs, that is, you should try the sounds to listen "as a musician".

"As we step into 2023-2024, our goal is to expand our LIVE Cartoons project to reach even more children in need. To make this vision a reality, we're launching a fundraising campaign. Your support will enable us to bring the magic of live cartoons and music to additional children, including those in orphanages, child support centers, and other communities. Together, let's create more smiles and memories in the coming year." |

Live Cartoon's event at LOFT ⭐Children sitting on the carpet first study the small musical instruments they have been given, then they start to "play" irregularly, listen to their sound. Some bring the tinkering tools and bells closer to the person sitting next to them to show what sound the "egg" makes, how the bell rings.
My children participate in the Tonica Project music program, which, through cartoons, teaches them to distinguish between soft and loud sounds, to repeat the rhythms by clapping. At the end, when everyone already understands the movements of the "leader's" hands, a small music group is formed and the children are able to join the musicians on the spot. voice their favorite cartoons, imagine how the picture gets sound. |
