Syftet med vår undersökning är att ta reda på hur och om barn och pedagoger använder tredimensionella material på två förskolor. Vårt intresse för skapande material uppstod då vi gick sidoämneskursen Det tredimensionella konstruerade arbetet inom slöjd/hantverk, då vi själv fick arbeta och bekanta oss med tredimensionella material. Genom våra diskussioner inom ämnet blev vi intresserade av att ta reda på om dessa material fanns ute på förskolorna. För att ta reda på detta gjorde vi en undersökning med kvalitativa observationer och intervjuer med åtta barn och fyra pedagoger. Vi stödjer oss främst på Granbergs, Tragetons och Vygotskijs teorier och forskning om skapande verksamhet. Vår slutsats är att tredimensionella material finns ute på förskolorna, men att de sällan används.

Det här arbetet presenterar César Francks orgelverk Grande Pièce Symphonique på ett konkret och relevant sätt för en utövande musiker såväl som en aktiv åhörare. Den största delen av arbetet utgör min tematiska analys vilken är till stor hjälp vid förståelsen av styckets innehåll och kvalitéer. Arbetet tar också upp relevant information om kompositören, den franske orgelbyggaren Aristide Cavaillé-Coll och instrumentet i St. Clotilde för att förstå det klangliga material som stod till tjänst för kompositören. Slutligen har jag lagt konstnären, kompositören, instrumentet och den tidens musikaliska praxis till grund för min interpretation av César Francks orgelverk Grande Pièce Symphonique..

In the curriculum there are no guidelines about what substance you have to teach about. This gives the schools and teachers a big freedom. At the same time there is a kind of informal canon which says that it is the European perspective that is the important one.
