The course begins with a lecture covering different subjects, according to the profile of the participants: recycled art, relation to the environment, subject inter-connections in the school curriculum, project work, connections between art and education, etc.

The central part of the course consists of building musical instruments as well as of introduction to different technical procedures, materials, acoustic principles, and practical advice that enable latter independent work to all the participants.

The last part of the course is devoted to creating music on original instruments. After the presentation of techniques of group improvisation and sound painting (Walter Thompson method), participants create a short concert, musical fairytale, a “sound comic” or music for a short silent movie.

»Excellent organization, subject selection, atmosphere, and ideas. For me, this was the best course in every aspect.«, participant of the course at the National Institute of Education of the Republic of Slovenia, 2011 

“It was a superb course. I liked that its main part was based on practical work and I left with a feeling that we have accomplished a lot! It gave me inspiration for my work in kindergarten and outside. Right the next day I had many ideas for little instruments which we then built with kids. They now play them all the time and call for a concert each day!”, a participant of the course at the National Institute of Education of the Republic of Slovenia, 2012
