COURSES FOR KIDS
MUSICAL AWAKENING
(for kids born 2017/2018)
A joyful and engaging experience in 5 lessons (3 in the spring, 2 in the fall). Each lesson, around 70-80 minutes, is aimed at "awakening" the children's listening skills and their sense of rhythm, body and vocal expression, as well as offering a first approach to musical reading through the use of the metallophone, the smallest tuned instrument of the orchestra.
The spring lessons will take place on Saturday, March 29, April 12 and May 10, from 11:00 AM to 12:20 PM.
The fall lessons will take place on Tuesday, September 23 and 30, from 5:30 to 6:40 PM.
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.
Time and day of the courses: every Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. First lesson: October 7, 2025
