children through music learning and group interaction.
The best age to learn music pitch and rhythm is at the age of 3-5
years old.
Through EMG, children will discover a wonderful world of
musical tones, alphabets, numbers and shapes.
Each lesson is made up of six different activities.
EXPRESSION MUSIC FUN (EMF) The EMF is a continuation of EMG. Music experiences contribute to the growth of a well-balanced child,
developing his/her sensitivity, expressiveness, pyschomotor skills and other essential skills necessary for today’s world.
It will be a great advantage for every child to be groomed to have perfect
pitch awareness and the understanding of time signatures, musical notes on the piano, musical rests, hand-eye-leg coordination and simple Italian musical terms.
Your child will also be able to identify up to 40 different instruments both
visually and aurally (by listening).
Similar to the EMG, each lesson is made up of 6 different activities.
