The paper Multisensory Music Teaching and Learning in School Music Education, co-authored with M. Kokkidou, was published in the Proceedings of the Conference “The Arts in the Greek School: Present and Future” by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The literature-based study organises the theoretical framework of multisensory music learning and connects it with established and contemporary approaches to school music education.
Hearing, vision, movement, touch and bodily action are examined as interconnected dimensions of musical experience. The discussion relates these dimensions to Orff, Dalcroze and Kodály approaches and then moves toward examples of multisensory activities and conditions for their use in school music lessons. Multisensory teaching is not treated as a collection of isolated techniques but as a way of organising learning that offers different pathways for access and participation. The discussion therefore considers how combining auditory, visual, kinaesthetic and tactile elements can support both musical understanding and differentiated music teaching in practice.
