Early music lessons for children in Bogotá, at home and online

Early music education opens the door to music: before choosing an instrument, your child learns to listen, feel the beat, sing in tune and move to the rhythm.

When can you start?

From age 3

To reference, musical initiation works very well between 3 and 7 years old, when children learn through play and movement and with the smaller sessions are short and very active and about 6 or 7 years old they gradually integrate musical reading and first steps into an instrument. It's a guiding guide: each child has his or her own rhythm of care and maturity and his or her teacher sets his or her class to that. If you want to get deeper, read at how old to start studying musicAnd if you're an adult and parts of zero, you can also start at any age with an approach thought for you.

What do you need to start with?

  • A clear space where the child can move, sit on the floor and sing with freedom.
  • Some simple percussion instruments (seawatballs, keys, a small drum) and the teacher guides you about what to get.
  • A close adult during first classes, especially with the youngest.
  • For virtual classes: stable connection and a device with camera so that the child with an entire body can be seen.

Why learn early music education

  • It develops an ear and a sense of rhythm, a base that makes it easier to learn anything later.

  • It works care, memory and co-ordination through the game.

  • It helps to figure out what instrument gets the child's attention, without pressuring them to choose earlier.

  • It turns music into an area of expression and confidence, also for shy children.

Questions about early music education lessons

What's the difference between musical initiation and an instrument's class?

The goal of the musical initiation is to master an instrument but to build the bases: pulse, ear, voice, co-ordination and taste for music. That's why we work with songs, movement and simple instruments. When the child's ready and interested, the natural step is to choose an instrument, for example piano.

Do musical initiation work in virtual classes with small children?

That's right, but it's necessary to have an accompaniment with children 3 to 5 years old and an adult should be close to helping with his or her camera, materials and care. Since his or her 6 years old, many children have been following his or her class with quite an autonomous class. If you have been hesitated about them, this comparison of at home or virtual classes can be useful..

Do my son have to have an instrument to start with?

It's not necessary. At first stages we have to have a word, body and some small percussion tools that can even be homemade. Later, if a melodic instrument is incorporated, the teacher guides you about what to get.

How long does the stage of musical initiation last?

There's no time at all: it depends on how old the child starts and how they advance. Some move to an instrument after a few months and some prefer to continue exploring a while more or they combine both. The teacher looks at his development and recommends how soon to take the next step.
