Children's Music Workshop
A playful introduction to singing, rhythm, listening, improvisation and musical expression.
The workshop gives children a space to discover music, develop confidence and creativity, and experience the pleasure of making music together.
01
Voice & warm-up
The workshop begins with relaxation, breathing and vocal exercises presented in a playful way.
Children explore stretching, facial relaxation, breathing exercises, vocal sounds, scales, arpeggios and simple rhythmic patterns.
They also learn how posture, breathing, facial expression and dynamics can help give meaning and emotion to a song.
02
Rhythm & clapping
Through clapping exercises, children reproduce rhythmic patterns together and learn to listen to one another.
A rhythm can then be divided between several groups, helping the children develop concentration, coordination and a sense of collective musical timing.
03
Stage & interpretation
Children are encouraged to sing individually in front of the group using a song they already know.
The aim is not performance for its own sake, but learning how to express oneself, communicate emotions and gradually become comfortable singing in front of others.
Listening is equally important. The other children are invited to listen, react positively and share their impressions.
Songs can also be explored together by listening to the lyrics, instruments, voice, musical style and emotions they evoke.
04
Choral singing
Singing together helps children discover the pleasure of making music as a group.
Songs are learned progressively through listening and repetition before being performed together, with or without musical accompaniment.
The activity encourages listening, cooperation and a sense of belonging to the group.
05
World rhythms
African polyphonies and Latin rhythms offer children another way to discover the richness of music.
African vocal work introduces several voices and rhythmic patterns, while Latin-inspired activities invite children to experiment with percussion instruments such as djembes, sticks, triangles and tambourines.
These activities encourage coordination, listening and collective expression.
06
Improvisation
Can a child improvise? Absolutely.
With guidance and a simple musical accompaniment, children are encouraged to invent melodies and respond to one another’s musical ideas.
Little by little, individual ideas can become a collective creation made by the group.
The workshop remains open to children’s suggestions and interests. Their ideas can become the starting point for new musical activities and discoveries.
MUSIC • JOY • DISCOVERY
Helping children grow through music.
The aim is to make every workshop a moment of pleasure, creativity, sharing and positive musical memories.
