The junior Course Musical tuition and its organization

Our aims are:

1.       To teach the children to listen to each other as well as listen to the sounds they make themselves

2.       To make music from day one as an ensemble while also taking one to one daily music tuition

3.       To encourage them to regard this process of making music as a joyous one

Daily timetable:  According to their age and level, the children will be entitled to

ü        30 to 60 minutes of daily one to one tuition – In that second case you have to ask for an “extra instrument tuition”

ü        No child under 8 ought to have more music tuition than 30 minutes in each instrument in one to one

ü        Another target is to make sight reading as exciting as breaking the code of a secret language to help them learn to associate each note with a precise sound and a precise place on their instrument (15 minutes a day).

ü        Workshop  percussion if you book it

ü        Each child will participate in a mini chamber group whatever their level (30  minutes according to their age and level).

ü        Everyone will participate in the Choir where they will learn to sing in English, French and German (30 minutes daily).

ü        The language tuition in the different languages (English, French) and one to one musical tuition will be held in the morning, the collective musical activities will take place during the afternoon.

ü        There should be sufficient free time to enjoy the village heated swimming pool and to play tennis (if it does not rain) if you booked it
