Subjects at the music school

Early musical education

The Bocholt Isselburg Music School offers "Early Musical Education" for children of kindergarten age. With movement and dance, singing, speaking and elementary instrumental playing, the musicality of pre-school children is encouraged and their creativity, self-confidence and personality are strengthened.

The "parent-child group" is a musical programme for children aged 2 to 3.5 years accompanied by a parent or adult. In the lessons, spoken verses, kneeling riders, finger plays and songs are introduced. They also serve as a stimulus for musical activities at home. Singing, dancing, making music and playing along with the accompanying adult encourages the children to try out their own voices, sounds and movements. Dances and circle games encourage contact with other children.

The "Basic Musical Education" programme is aimed at children aged 6 and over who want to continue their general musical education after early education or who want to start without any previous knowledge. Using singing, rhythmicals, body percussion, Orff instruments (xylophone, metallophone, small percussion instruments, etc.) and movement, we create songs and stories with the children and familiarise them with the beginnings of musical notation. This develops their motor skills and a good sense of rhythm.

Interested parents and children can take part in free taster sessions to get to know the programme without obligation.

Parents and Friends of the Bocholt Music School e.V.

Parents and interested parties form the "Eltern- und Förderkreis Musikschule Bocholt e.V." on a voluntary basis.

Thanks to this private commitment, many projects and events have already been realised that would not have been possible with the music school's public funds, including the promotion of musical talents, the purchase and maintenance of music equipment, the promotion of events, concert tours and public relations work.

The support group is the contact organisation for pupils, teachers and parents. It represents the interests of the music school at a political and social level.
