This free workshop for 3-to-6-yo kids stems from our desire to always carve out a space for the very young. Musical culture can and must be cultivated from childhood, for the children’s well-being as well as to nurture new generations of fully aware music lovers. The participants will experiment with music as a way to express emotions and communicate, both for themselves and in relationships with others. Activities start from listening to sundry sounds and musical styles. By means of playful and learning activities, movements, and production of simple rhythmic patterns, children will have a chance to express themselves creatively and unleash their emotions.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. The workshop is free of charge; reservations can be made through Ticketmaster until seats are filled. An adult must be present alongside each child. The Park is part of the Villa Mainona Museum, via Regina 22, Tremezzo, facing the Teresio Olivelli Park.
