Every Wednesday, the Pro Familiis and Katalin Forrai Award-winning music teacher Dr Ilona Gróh Gáll looks forward to welcoming parents and children of nursery school age who have grown up on the Sing-along Baby method she herself created. The activities of the Sing-along Baby Musical Kindergarten include the Mezzo events for 4- to 5-year-old children in the second year of nursery school. Parents are no longer involved as these sessions encourage the active and independent engagement of th...e children. The sessions incorporate various toys, puppets and rhythm instruments (drums, triangles, rhythm sticks and bells), while party games, nursery and counting-out rhymes based on folk traditions also play an important role alongside singing, games and listening to live music. The aim of these half-hour activities is to familarise the children with song-based games, Hungarian folk songs, nursery rhymes and songs from other nations to help them develop their interest in music, shape their musical tastes and increase their receptiveness to creative pursuits: listening to music, learning to sing, developing their sense of rhythm and musical form, as well as encouraging the habit of listening to music.
The activities build upon one another week by week, so regular attendance is recommended according to the child's age group.
