The music playground in Tved strengthens the musicians of the future
In collaboration with Tveds Musik- og Idrætsbørnehave, a unique music playground was created that supports the institution's focus on music and movement. The music playground is more than just a place for fun and play; it functions as a platform for children's development on multiple levels. By including musical instruments in all three areas, the institution ensures that music becomes an integral part of the daily life of the nursery and kindergarten children. The music playground is designed to strengthen the children's social, creative, physical and cognitive abilities, while at the same time experiencing the magic of music in a safe and inspiring outdoor environment.
“The music playground creates space for all children to participate, regardless of their abilities.”
Mette Rokkjær, deputy head of Tved's Music and Sports Kindergarten
A unique space for creativity
The musical instruments on the playground have become a natural part of everyday life at Tveds Music and Sports Kindergarten. The children often gather in small groups to experiment with different sounds and rhythms, and the educators include music in learning activities that strengthen everything from number understanding to language development. During outdoor play, the educators organize musical play, where the children are encouraged to create their own melodies or imitate rhythms from the sounds of nature. The instruments are also used for quiet moments, where the children can find focus and immersion by playing simple notes. This versatile use of the musical instruments contributes to creating a dynamic and inclusive learning culture, where both children and adults can explore the many facets of music together.
