Music school offers taster sessions in January
11 January to 1 February // at LernWerk Bocholt and in Isselburg
April sees the start of new courses in "early musical education", "basic musical training" and "parent-child groups" at the Bocholt-Isselburg music school. Children accompanied by their parents can take part in free taster lessons in the weeks from Saturday, 11 January to Saturday, 1 February at the music school in Bocholt and Isselburg.
Early musical education
For children of kindergarten age (two years before starting school), the music school offers "Early Musical Education". 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 programme is offered in Bocholt and Isselburg to enable children to attend early musical education close to where they live. The "early musical education" programme is designed for four half-years.
Basic musical education
The "Basic Musical Education" programme is aimed at children aged 6 and over who wish 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.
Parent-child groups
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.
Interested parents and children can get to know the programme and the premises during free taster sessions.
