BABY MUSIKING – COURS PARENTS ENFANTS
30 minutes group lesson

Refer to the section : About Baby Musiking
FIRST STEPS
45 minutes group lesson
for 3 to 4 year old children alone with the teacher.
L’Ecole Koenig’s Baby Musiking classes for babies and parents as well as our First Steps classes for 3 to 4 year-old children are unique in Paris, because we integrate a sophisticated level of ear and rhythmic training from the very beginning. A child’s ear is almost fully developed by 6 years of age, so we practice this method early but all in good fun. Music and instruments naturally fascinate children. We allow even the youngest children to “play” violin, cello and percussion.
DISCOVERY GROUP
45 minutes group lesson
for 5 year old children
The next step is our Discovery Group, where the children spend a trimester with a teacher of each family of instruments: introduction to piano, flute, guitar, cello, violin and harp depending on the day of the class.* This class helps the teachers and parents to evaluate the children’s interest and aptitude for a particular instrument. There are 6 children per group, and 3 to 4 groups depending on the type of instruments. Twice a year, the groups meet to play together.
*Wednesday: Piano, Cello, Harp and Flute
Saturday: Piano, Violin and Guitar
MINI-CLASSES (OR MINI-FORMULE)
45 minutes group lesson – it is possible to add a 20 minutes individual lesson in addition to the group class (Mini-Formule)
for 6 year old children
Once the children choose their instrument, they spend the year in a group class beginning their chosen instrument as well as basic note reading and rhythm. For those who would like individual attention, they may sign up for an additional 20 minutes individual lesson with the teacher (Mini-Formule).
