Feel and experience music.
Structure
In the first part of our workshops, the children will be introduced to a wide range of instruments in a playful way. The aim is to find instruments that match their personalities. They’ll get their first feelings of accomplishment under professional guidance, with the focus not on reading notes but on engaging in direct, haptic and sensual contact with sound, rhythm and melodies. Our approach aims to introduce children to music based on curiosity and play.
The afternoon session will focus on the experience itself. Together with Dodo, we will practice the components of our song, which will be launched in mid-October on all the usual platforms as well as here on our website.
Dodo looks forward to the collaboration:
"I'm delighted to be part of Lion Kids by Generali as a mentor. The Lion Kids music promotion program makes an important contribution to society. I'm looking forward to accompanying the kids on their musical journey, encouraging them and working on a song with them."
Children between the ages of 6 and 12 may participate in the workshops with their parents’ consent.
