Music4Children is a new programme initiative devised to introduce and encourage children to pursue music. Inspired by her two little boys, Joe and Sam, Eva together with her colleague Padraig Wallace has carefully devised a three-phase strategic approach.
Step One – Music for Mini Maestri
An introductory music theory course designed specifically for children. Through fun and game activities children will learn the basic fundamentals of music which will fully prepare them for instrumental tuition in year two. Children will be exposed also to music of different cultures and genres, helping therefore to expand their understanding of what music includes.
Step Two – Let’s Make Music
Following on from year one, step two is designed to pair children with a selected instrument and teacher. Through the promotion of group tuition, children will enjoy the dynamic of learning their selected instrument together. With carefully designed keyboard labs and selected experts, children will benefit from learning music from all genres in music, with an emphasis on popular tunes.
Step Three – Music Together
In accordance with both steps one and two, ensemble work will also be encouraged. This will take the form of choral and instrumental initiatives including public performances at the end of each year.
