Music Playschool and Preparatory Instrument Instruction
Early music education is a gradual process of teaching, aiming to develop a child’s creativity, musical skills and self-esteem. In early music education, children develop the ability to listen to and experience music and to express themselves through music. Positive musical experiences, skills and abilities form the basis for a good relationship with music and later musical studies.
