What is it about?
This article discusses the concept of children’s cultures as a driving axis for under- standing active listening in music education. It builds on the assumption that meaningful learning in music listening depends on a creative bodily musical play centred on movement in educational contexts, which is directly linked to the diverse ways in which children relate to their daily musical experiences.

Why is it important?
The article proposes the definition of "creActive music listening" in an interdisciplinary perspective involving childhood studies, music education and body and movement studies, and the discussion addresses implications for further music education practices, with emphasis on tuning the teacher’s look and hearing in relation to children’s musical experiences in school.
Perspectives
This publication is based on the author's post-doctoral studies in Education (Federal University of Paraná, Brazil) and in Childhood Studies (University of Minho, Portugal), after 20 years of experience teaching music education in early childhood.
