Early Childhood Music Education
Do you want to enable your child to build a wonderful relationship with music from the very beginning?
Then our early childhood music workshops are just right for you and your child. The workshops are tailored to your child's developmental stage and thus provide a low-threshold approach to making music.
Music Playgroup
1 - 4 years
every Tuesday and Wednesday 10.30h - 11.15h
What is the workshop about?
- Always in motion
-
What could be cuter than watching a toddler swing its hips to music? Whether it's a stop dance, body parts Blues or cloth Waltz. Fun is guaranteed here! Of course, you can also "pack" the game ideas, songs and movement suggestions for home!
- Emotional balance
-
Music as a bridge to emotional balance. Naming feelings and dealing with them has to be learned. Let's help our children express themselves through voice and dance. All age groups can benefit from this.
- A variety of instruments
-
Discover what it means to "keep time" with percussion instruments such as timbrels, maracas or drums. Sounding instruments such as bells or xylophones enable the first steps into the world of sounds.
- Rhythm
- Slow drum beats harmonize best with leisurely steps. Suddenly the drumming gets louder and faster and the children join in. And then... Everyone stops and listens to see what rhythm is coming next.
- A treasure of words
-
"This is high and this is low" the children sing as they first stretch their hands high in the air and then quickly bring them to the ground. Words, movement, music and play. Sensorimotor skills are the magic word here.
Music Kindergarden
4 - 7 years
every Tuesday and Wednesday 14.00h - 15.00h
What is the workshop about?
- Movement and dance
-
We give free rein to our own creative movements or rehearse simple dance choreographies together. Movement is also essential in this group. By the way, the Carnival of the Animals is very popular with this age group!
- Basic knowledge through songs
-
Learn seasons, animals and other basic knowledge in a playful way. "Old MacDonald's Farm" and Schleich animals are the perfect combination for remembering animal names and sounds. Silk scarves as colourful leaves in autumn or icy snowballs in winter not only strengthen vocabulary but also inspire your child's imagination.
- Social interaction
-
When you play music together, you have to learn to play in harmony. Your child will learn to harmonize with other children in a safe, playful environment.
- Rhythm, dynamics and numbers
- A boy sits in the middle, holds a blue silk scarf in the air and counts in: 1,2,3,4! The mini-musicians around him know exactly what this means. We now play quietly and slowly! Now the little conductor switches to the red cloth. The music suddenly becomes louder and faster!
- The world of instruments
-
Sounding woods, bells, drums, various percussion instruments and the first approach to a real piano or drum set! The world of instruments is as versatile as your child's imagination. Are you curious to see which instrument fascinates your child the most?
