"Music without borders"

We want to put together children's interests and their need to learn something new. We think that this way of learning is the best for kids.
Music reflects our culture and society and so the teaching and learning of music enables children to better understand the world they live in. Music is a creative and enjoyable activity and unique way of communicating that can inspire and motivate all children. Music gives them an opportunity for personal expression. Singing songs in foreign languages and playing on instruments is important in helping children feel part of a bigger European community.
