This article discusses the concept of children’s cultures as a driving axis for understanding 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. The text focuses on a theoretical approach, converging the concepts of music creActivity, children’s cultures and child body. The definition of creActive music listening is suggested in an interdisciplinary perspective involving childhood studies, music education and body and movement studies. 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.
