Courses

The courses on offer can be attended regardless of previous knowledge of the children.
*The exact age structure for each course is individual for the semester.

  • Early Musical Stimulation - Parents and children from 18 months*
    Duration of training - 1 year
    The course for the later development of each child can be set at a very early age. Often infants lack rhythmic and musical stimuli, which we think can be best passed on with the parents. Our programme allows mother/father and child to move, dance and sing together to a musical accompaniment, and to play with objects and sounds.
  • Early Musical Education - Children from 4 years of age*
    The curriculum for the two levels of education are spread over 2 years
    The children remain alone with the teacher and the other children during lessons. Parents can bring their child and pick it up later, but they cannot be there during the course.
