First Approach to Music & Violin

5-7 yrs. old – Tues., 4:30-5:15PM with Caterina Vannucci – start date TBC

The course will be taught through real musical experiences where the children will be completely immersed into music. We will start by knowing the music that accompanies us every day, the music of our body, of our heart. We will listen to symphonic pieces and transform them into emotions through movement and drawing. And finally we will enter the world of the violin from its origins to its technique.

This will allow a gradual and spontaneous acquisition of a basic theoretical-musical knowledge.
