Music playschool
Children aged 0-6 can participate in music playschool groups. The working methods used include nursery rhymes, singing, playing instruments, games, listening, moving, rhythm, improvisation and visual expression by drawing and colouring.
The music playschool education is based on a national curriculum. The aim of the teaching is to stimulate and maintain the child’s positive attitude and interest in music.
The child learns to understand and recognise the basics of music: opposites (high-low, slow-fast, loud-quiet) and elements of music, e.g. melody, harmony and rhythm. Concentration, voice use and motor skills are also being developed.
Family groups (0-2-year-olds)
In a family group, the child is always accompanied by an adult. The duration of the music class is 30 minutes and is held once a week.
When groups are formed, children born in the same year are put into the same group.
During the classes we play, move and dance together. In the family groups, the adults also participate in the activities of the music playschool and the child is there under the responsibility of their accompanying adult.
Both the child and the adult should wear comfortable clothing.
