Music Saturday

Music Saturday is an open, religion-neutral music programme for children aged 1-5 years. (No songs, or piece of music pertains to a certain religion.)

Children aged 1-5 years participate in groups, together with an adult who is close to them.

No prior knowledge or special musical skills are required to be admitted to Music Saturday.

Singing
Singing is our most important musical tool. The voice accompanies us from birth – we babble, make sounds and sing long before we learn to speak. Through singing, children develop both musicality and the ability to enjoy music.

Dance and movement
Children learn through their senses. When they hear music, they respond spontaneously with movement and mimicry. Dance and movement – ​​both guided and free – introduce children to the elements of music and provide a solid foundation for further musical development.

Improvisation and creative activities
Children live in the present, full of imagination and spontaneity. In Music Play, they get to experiment with singing, instruments, dancing and rhythmic movement. Improvisation and creative play are always a natural part of the teaching.

No! The programme is for everyone, and you or your child do not need any prior knowledge to participate.
