How are children's songs related to jazz music? In fact, children's songs and jazz music are closely intertwined. Foreign children's programs such as "Sesame Street", “Mr. Rogers' Neighbours”, “Charlie Brown’s Christmas”, and “Time of Stuffed Dolls”, as well as children's programs in Hong Kong, for example “Hopscotch" and "McDull", they all use jazz music. Some composers believe that children are able to appreciate high-quality music, and should develop their musicality from an early age. Rhythm, pitch, and chords are important in jazz. We hope to, with this workshop, cultivate children's exposure to jazz music since young, and let loose their innocence.
The program includes singing, body percussion, song games, harmonica playing, homemade percussion and drumming, etc. This workshop is hosted by Dr. Edwin Tanner, one of the founders of the Hong Kong Christian Music Association, and Mr. Henry Chung, an alumnus of True Light.
兒歌與爵士音樂有什麼關係? 其實兒歌與爵士音樂是息息相關的. 外國兒童節目如《芝麻街》、《羅渣士先生的鄰舍》、《查理布朗的聖誕節》，《布公仔時間》等, 香港的兒童節目如《跳飛機》和《麥兜》都採用了爵士音樂. 有些作曲人認為兒童有欣賞高質素音樂的能力, 應該從小培養他們的音樂感. 爵士音樂 着重節奏, 音感, 及和弦. 我們希望藉着 這工作坊 培養小孩子從小開始接觸爵士樂, 讓童真飛揚.
工作坊内容 包括歌唱, 身體敲擊, 歌曲遊戲, 口琴, 自製敲擊樂, 打鼓等. 由 香港基督徒音樂協會 創辦人之一 陳芳榮博士 和 真光校友 鍾一匡先生 主持.
