Travel is the engine of movement in every story. It can be a journey worldwide, in your home, country, or neighborhood. The movement creates action and beautiful moments. Each journey sets the tone on the staves. Each note is part of the journey from high to low, flat to sharp, hard to soft, and fast to slow.

Well-known musical works inspire the four music stories and take you back in time to when the composer lived. The protagonists are enterprising and courageous, enabling you, the reader, to learn new things. The QR code allows you to listen to the music while reading, so you notice that each story has its own color in addition to its tone. The stories have philosophical undertones; it is up to you to distill them from the text.

These stories were written to find peace, positive energy and inspiration, and restore trust in each other. Also suitable for reading aloud to your children.

Roel’s stories have another element besides classical music: philosophy. Hopefully, you picked this up.
Good luck!

De opzet van de combinatie van deze vier lessen is een combinatie van een spannend luisterverhaal en bijhorende lesopdrachten. Het doel is dat de leerlingen op een verrassende en vernieuwende wijze kennis opnemen. Ze gaan hierbij om zelf op zoek naar antwoorden en informatie. Dit leidt tot een activering van de kennis, hetgeen door de muziek nog eens wordt versterkt.

Bij bestelling van deze muzieklessen, ontvang je een pdf-bestand.
Bij elke les hoort een luisterverhaal. Deze is gratis te streamen via de site of via de QR-code.

De lessen zijn opgebouwd rond een aantal zorgvuldig geformuleerde leerdoelen, waaronder:

• Jonge mensen in aanraking brengen met klassieke muziek.

• Luisteraars leren aandachtig en kritisch te zijn op de informatie die ze krijgen. Maar ook om zelf op zoek te gaan naar informatie, liefst uit meerdere bronnen, en antwoorden.

• Kennis over uitvindingen vergaren. Zelf onderzoeken, de werking begrijpen.

De opzet is speels echter wel met een heldere en serieuze opdracht. Daardoor is het op school in verschillende vakken te gebruiken of maakt het mogelijk deze te combineren. De lessen zijn ook geschikt voor thuisonderwijs. Daarnaast bieden ze de ideale mogelijkheid kinderen in contact te brengen met klassieke muziek. En ook de optie de keukentafel te gebruiken voor een leerzame luistermiddag.

Het lesmateriaal sluit perfect aan bij het luisterverhaal. Het biedt de mogelijkheid om op een afwijkende manier stof inzichtelijk te maken en elk kind te stimuleren in het leerproces. De opdrachten zijn gevarieerd, zowel qua leerstof als vorm van opdrachten. Daarnaast zorgen ze ervoor dat kinderen zowel rationeel als emotioneel leren.

Deze les is tevens geschikt voor individueel onderwijs. Bijvoorbeeld voor een leerling die op een bepaald vak een voorsprong heeft opgebouwd en daarom tijd heeft voor een andere uitdaging.

Bach wrote the coffee cantata “Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht” just to show how indispensable coffee was to him. Back then, it was a beverage for men, and women had to settle for tea. Twice a week, he took the time to go to Zimmerman’s for a cup of coffee,

Neither Beethoven nor Mahler could do without it. For Beethoven, coffee was an essential part of his creative process; for Mahler, it was a source of inspiration. The ritual of making and drinking coffee, the taste and smell, and perhaps the caffeine made drinking coffee a resting point for the composers where energy and ideas were gathered.

Voltaire claimed that coffee is a great power in my life. Kant restricted himself to one cup a day. Kierkegaard made a spectacle out of drinking his coffee. Many philosophers where regular guests of coffee houses,

Given the profound connection between coffee and classical music and philosophy, it’s worth pondering over this next time you enjoy a cup. With a coffee mug in hand, you can savor the rich history and influence of coffee on philosophers’ and composers’ notes and work, enhancing your appreciation for both.

Working together, sharing knowledge, and learning together is essential in performing as a team. Every talent holds value, and each team member is equally important. Recognizing the significance of diverse skills and understanding that strong teams are built on diversity is crucial. We are unique because of the people around us. Our communication style impacts others, just like a radio that transmits and receives signals. Your unique skills and perspectives are what make our team strong and successful.

Music serves as a tool to foster cooperation and understanding. Embracing different opinions enriches and deepens our knowledge, so it’s important to respect them. Understanding that a symphony is only achievable when all instruments come together and that a conductor is as vital as any other musician is crucial. By working together joyfully, we can create positive energy and perform better.

Learning:
* to come into and remain in your power
* to find harmony and unity thanks to diversity
* to set and meet goals together

For a small fee, you get a ready-made lesson that perfectly prepares you for an introduction to coding (also known as programming) so that children are introduced to the concept and writing of code playfully.

What is coding?

What is coding? A code is a set of directions to move through a grid. It’s like finding your way home or visiting a museum. You must follow one instruction at a time, such as going right or left, up or down. You cannot combine these instructions. One significant advantage of coding is that it teaches you to comprehend the situation instead of just remembering it. This can be compared to either solving a puzzle or only remembering the picture on the puzzle. To solve a problem, children need to create, innovate, and automate. Coding is computational thinking. Firstly, you need to understand the situation (decompose), then look for patterns (e.g., streets), omit all the unimportant details (abstraction), and finally use or create algorithms to make decisions.

Why knowledge of coding is essential for your children?

Many studies demonstrate that listening to code is highly effective for improving children’s learning abilities. For instance, every three years, international education is compared through PISA, and the data reveal the beneficial impact of learning to code at an early age. Children enhance their logical thinking and comprehension of (foreign) languages.

Benefits:

Learning to code offers numerous benefits across personal development, career opportunities, and problem-solving skills. Here are five key advantages:

1. Personal Development: Boosts confidence and fosters collaborative skills.
2. Problem-Solving Skills: Coding enhances logical thinking and fosters creativity in finding solutions.
3. Educational Benefits: Improves academic performance and encourages lifelong learning.
4. Community and Networking: Offers opportunities for networking and professional connections.
5. Fun and Satisfaction: Provides a creative outlet and intellectual challenge.
