Musical instruments

Every child in Primary and Middle School plays an instrument!
They can choose between the violin, piano or guitar. These sessions are included in the school fees and the children receive individual or groups lessons depending on their age, instrument and music studied. Two professional music teachers provide the lessons and the instruments can be heard all week including the lunch breaks.

The school has more than 50 violins available for rent to families who do not wish to buy their own. Young children grow fast from one size to the next and therefore we have violins available from size 1/16 to 4/4.

 

The Children of the Children’s House can also be enrolled and learn to play the violin. These sessions are optional and invoiced separately. Families receive application forms at the beginning of the school year. Children as young as age 3 can start and more than 30 children have joined these sessions during which they learn how to handle the bow, sing the notes, clap the rhythms, learn music theory and have lots of enjoyment!

 

Methode: Do - rina Raileanu

Dorina Raileanu, our very own violin teacher, has accomplished a great feat! She is the author of the violin method: Methode: Do – rina. The series she has “composed”, took many years of experience and preparation. The first level has now been printed! Using Montessori’s idea of the “ Isolation of a Difficulty” as one of her basic principles, helps the child to focus on one aspect at a time. No unnecessary details take the children’s interest away, only focusing on what is important. In specific, it helps the child to become in tune with the technique and on a larger scale, it aids towards lengthening the concentration span and experiencing joy in learning something new!

The children in school learn to play the violin with the author of this new Violin Method! The books are for sale through school or by contacting Dorina Raileanu via her web page: www.dorinaviolinmethod.com
