A third of the time of each exercise in Module 1 and 2 and Exercises 1-3 in Module 3 will be dedicated to articulation, as will all of Exercise 5 in Module 3.

It is important that the children use the word "ART-iculation", in this context the art of defining what we have done or experienced. Children need to develop the art of verbally communicating what they have physically/creatively achieved, as it reinforces the experience by putting words on feelings. ART-iculation also facilitates the child to take their exploration experience further by identifying likes and dislikes or imagining what can be done with the sounds they have discovered.

Articulation example: The children are sitting in a circle on the floor, each with a pad and pencil. Show them how to create a mind map. They catalogue all the sounds they have created and recorded on their mind map as they listen to them. They then make decisions on what sounds they want to work with for a composition and how they imagine the sounds working together. For a group, use one shared mind map.
