Through this course, children are introduced to the world of classical music in a fun, holistic and profound way. Students learn the basic elements of music through the use of images of nature, helping them to experience and perform it in a focused, spontaneous and natural way, and to realize that music lives within them. This course has been delivered previously in Switzerland, Mexico and Canada with great success.
