Exploring sound in relation to children, environment, and context
Foundational, responsive approaches to playing and using sound
Reflection, discussion, and shared observation
The emphasis is on sensitivity, pacing, and awareness, rather than on teaching techniques or interventions.

Deepen understanding through shared reflection
Clarify scope, boundaries, and ethical considerations
This session is not an extension of content, but a supported opportunity to integrate learning through reflection and dialogue.
