From age 3

FAQ about early music education

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]](/clases/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.](/blog/clases-de-musica-a-domicilio-o-virtuales).

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.
