A Place To Grow

A music concept for the integration and inclusion
of disadvantaged children and young people

NEWS

Like no other form of artistic expression, music offers the possibility to establish direct contact with others.

It has the power to reach people across cultural barriers with all their senses and emotions.

In this plainness music can foster openness.

How we make a difference

We respond individually to children & young people:

Our concept is adapted according to requirements and needs.

Your wishes and goals are the programme:

The concept is individually adapted with the help of our network of experienced music teachers.

We pick up children with their musical interests:

By preparing suitable content and activity modules without assuming any prior musical knowledge.

Examples of possible modules:

  • Organise regular music meetings, workshops and performances
  • Active low-threshold music-making with the help of body percussion, tambourine, cajon, sound tubes, tablets, etc.
  • Composing, writing and recording self-composed songs with the children
  • Preparation of instrumentals of the children's favourite songs for active involvement when making music
  • Initiate conversations among the children & young people for better intercultural and social understanding through song discussions
  • Playful teaching of skills in contemporary arranging, recording and producing with digital media.

one year of 14-day music meetings in two cities in cooperation with the Starnberg District Office

music meetings on a regular basis with refugee and German children in the Weilheim youth centre

A PLACE TO GROW

"Ich habe die Kinder aus den Flüchtlingsfamilien noch nie so ausgelassen und fröhlich gesehen, wie bei dem Musiktreffen, da geht mir das Herz auf. Einige der Kinder haben es nicht einfach, die Familien haben vieles durchgemacht."

"Ich denke es ist uns gelungen, nachhaltige Kontakte zu schaffen, die sich so vielleicht nicht ergeben hätten, denn Musik verbindet auch wortlos."
