IMPROVISATION IN MUSIC ACTIVITIES IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

This project was done at the Orthodox Highschool RomanCiorogariu from Oradea with the 4th grade (year 2016-2017). Thisclass is made of 28 pupils, 10 girls and 18 boys (unbalanced numberin gender). It came into being as a strong desire to observe theimpact of improvisation in music activities in the primary school, onthe pupil within this criteria level. The main observation concerningthis criteria of pupils (during a lesson of music improvisation of aprofessor done on this class) was that they are receptive oneverything that is new, which demands creativity and imagination.More than that we wanted to investigate if, by bringing up a musicimprovisation program, children would reach the highest level ofimprovisation (see Levels of improvisation) in relation to their agelevel and their musical experience. The passion of the professor andof the primary school teacher, the atmosphere full of warmth andharmony of the class, made me curious and determined me to do thisresearch. I believe it was necessary because it presents another angleof education. Improvisation in musical activities allows selfknowledge,it demands the interaction of human beings to reach thesame objective, develops confidence and assertiveness, and developsessential communication abilities.
