The “Listening to and Making Music” Approach in the Function of Improving Musical Understanding

The intention of the author is to mark out the “Listening to and Making Music” approach (LMM) and explain how to improve the pupils' musical understanding. The process starts with the activity of listening to music which encompasses identification of musical components and their theoretical explanation. By experiencing, observing, noticing, intellectually following and explaining the components like: rhythm, melody, dynamics, tempo and music form, pupils show the level of their theoretical musical understanding. With the goal that pupils' knowledge becomes practical, the music making activity follows. Awareness of musical elements helps them in creating similar or new compositions, using well-known musical elements. The result of such work are active pupils' participation in the teaching process, practical demonstration of acquired knowledge, stimulation of creativity and a better understanding of musical elements and music in general.
