A larger definition:
The objective of the program is to provide the background and the possibilities for
musical activities that offer the students direct contact with suitable musical topics.
This direct contact, provided by experiences in the work environment, such as building a
personal instrument, learning to play it and creating music, will encourage the students
to be involved in the topics offered by the program.
 |
Basic assumptions:
Teaching young children music may be difficult. For this reason the instrument built in
this program is very basic: the Ancient Harp, which is the ancient Hebrew lire. An ancient
outline of a similar instrument engraved in stone enables us to associate the program with
our origins.

The music
box is a very simple instrument, which can be played without any special instruction (of
course, it is possible to improve playing skills, however, in this program we are content
with the basic skill of plucking the strings with the fingers and/or with a plectrum). The
immediate ability to combine three tones; a low tone, a middle tone and a high tone
separately (melody) or simultaneously (chord), in addition to the combination of rhythm,
provides the program (and the teacher) with a vast range of experiences with sound.
