Small sound pirates conquer the stage: a festival for the music school!
Ernst- und Anna Rumler Saal, Laichingen, Deutschland - The importance of early musical education is increasingly recognized, as an event of the music school in Ernst and Anna Rumler Hall shows in Laichingen. Here children aged 19 months to school presented their skills during the Singspiel "The Travel of the Sound Pirates". In colorful pirate costumes and accompanied by the music teachers Kerstin Braig, Albert Bücheler and Theresa Moll, "sailed" the little ones with their ship of the "Melodia" through various sound worlds.
The children discovered melodies from different countries and sang the pirate song: "Today we want to go on a journey, Hulla, Balu, Bale, we want to see distant countries". Various instruments and sounds were discussed, such as soundwoods from England and drums from Africa, but also the challenges of pirate life, such as storms and the longing for land in sight.
Successful participants in “youth music”
Mayor Alexander Baumann took the opportunity to distinguish the winners of the district competition "Jugend musiziert" from the Ehingen Musikschule. Among the award winners was Florentina Esterhammer, who gave a sample of her singing at the concert in the cloister of the monastery. Other students from the piano classes and recorder groups also performed, which impressively demonstrated the variety of musical talents.
The event also offered the opportunity to become active: Interested children were able to try out various instruments to find the right one. This is done as part of an instrument carousel that is offered for children of the first to fourth grade. In the next five to six weeks, violin, piano, oboe, trumpet, guitar and drums will be presented.
Early musical education and its advantages
The relevance of early musical education is underpinned by empirical data. Children are already receptive to music at birth; You already hear sounds during pregnancy. The connection to music conveys security and supports communication between parents and their children through musical qualities of speaking - such as pitch and rhythm. Children often express themselves musically before they can find words.
Participation in music -related offers increases with age. At the age of two, it is already 10% of children who use such offers. It is particularly striking that girls (22%) participate more often than boys (16%). The educational background of the parents and the employment of the mothers are other factors that influence participation in musical educational offers. Children of academic parents visit structured musical programs more often.
In order to promote basic musical education, numerous day care centers work closely with music schools. In most federal states, musical education is anchored in the educational plans. There are numerous initiatives of how urgently needed programs for music education support in day -care centers, which respond specifically to the needs of the children.
Overall, the number of day care facilities that specialize in musical education is growing. Another goal remains to improve the musical training of educators: inside, since over 60% of specialists in North Rhine-Westphalia did not feel sufficiently qualified in 2010.
This development clearly shows that early musical education plays a central role in the life of the children by not only promoting creative talents, but also supporting emotional and social learning.
