COURSES FOR KIDS
MUSICAL AWAKENING
(for kids born 2018/2019)
Limited seats! Reservations open until March 23
A joyful and engaging experience happening in spring and in September to awaken listening skills, rhythm experienced through movement, bodily expression, and the voice. Children will also be introduced to reading notes on the metallophone, the smallest tuned instrument of the orchestra, and experience our music programs inspired by the Dalcroze method.
​
In the spring session (on Saturday mornings), a parent will be invited to join the lesson during the last 20 minutes, in order to understand how to help their children with the musical assignment to be completed at home.
​
Participation in these meetings will grant access to the annual rhythmics–solfeggio course.
The four spring meetings, always on Saturdays for 1.5h (from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.), will take place on March 28, April 18, May 9, and May 23.
​
The two September meetings, always on Tuesdays for 1h 15min (from 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.), will take place on September 22 and 29.
Please note: Joining this activity will allow families, children, and young students to make an informed and motivated decision about enrolling in the annual course, beginning in October and taking place every Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
RHYTHMICS-SOLFEGGIO
(age range 7-11 years)
Enthusiasm, passion and competence are our ingredients in fostering children's desire and love for music in this annual collective course.
The term "rhythmics-solfeggio" shouldn't be seen as something boring or complex. Conversely, with the prefix "rhythmics",
Émile Jaques-Dalcroze meant to describe a learning journey of the musical grammar by means of one's movement, singing, and body coordination and expressivity.
The students follow piano inputs by the teacher, who engages them in an active listening activity, focused on the reaction to sound through body movement and the use of their singing voice. This way, they'll be guided toward their own awareness of the musical language.
Additionally, children are taught how to use play metallophones to practice tuning and performance of the notes they learn lesson by lesson.
Lessons start on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
