Musical beginnings

Music sessions with the youngest follow a wholesome approach with 4 main elements with the roots in Willems pedagogy:

• development of hearing and connecting it to voice production,
• developing the sense of rhythm and coordination through games,
• singing songs of artistic value with the content corresponding to the child’s imagination – developing musicality, affection, basic theoretical knowledge, and memory,
• experiencing music through movement with listening to the works of western musical heritage, and other worldly areas and times.

In collaboration with the International School of Music (ISM) Finland.
