Minute of Listening

Minute of Listening is a project initiated by Sound and Music. Everyday a group of school children closes their eyes and listens to one minute of sound/music, and afterward there are some questions to be answered about what they just heard. 

While Jamie Oliver’s food education (“what vegetable is this?”) is a bit more urgent for the health of many school kids, it would be great plan to also incorporate sound and listening education (“what sound is this?”) into the standard curriculum at primary schools, thus making them aware of the sounds around us and their effect on our ‘sound health’. I also think it is very healthy for children to just sit, relax and focus for a minute every morning.

This is great and as a father I think this should be apart of every school curriculum, starting from pre-school.
