Éveil Musical
Musical Early Childhood Education in Lausanne
Music classes for children aged 0–6, inspired by Gordon Music Learning Theory and based on listening, singing, movement, rhythm and play.
Music from the very beginning
Music starts long before reading a score or playing an instrument.
For young children, musical learning begins through movement, voice, listening, imitation and play.
These early childhood music sessions offer a rich musical environment in which children can listen, move, sing, respond and explore sound at their own pace.
Gordon Music Learning Theory
Gordon Music Learning Theory focuses on how children learn music naturally, before theory or notation.
At its centre is audiation: the ability to hear and understand music internally.
In class, children experience this through songs without words, rhythm patterns, movement and musical responses adapted to their age.
What happens in a session?
A musical early childhood session is not a miniature instrument lesson.
Children sing, listen, move, imitate, respond and participate at their own pace through songs, rhythm patterns, movement and simple musical games.
The aim is to build solid musical foundations: beat, voice, listening, coordination and musical confidence.
