Everyone can sing
The choir lessons are taught by a trained choir leader in close collaboration with the teacher in each class. The choir leaders and music teachers at the school also facilitate choir in the morning for selected or all classes. A special AKS pedagogy is developed and based on the inclusive nature of joyful musicking with body and voice. The pedagogy is developed to ensure that everyone is taken care of, so all children regardless of social or cultural background develop social and professional competencies central to a positive school life. The most important elements in this pedagogy include: A co-teacher system; Each student has a "choir partner"; Discipline in the classroom lessons is maintained by clear, simple, and subtle means.
