JEKISS ("Jedem Kind seine Stimme") is an offer for the musical education of children in primary schools - regardless of cultural or financial background. The aim is to familiarise your child with the different singing possibilities of his or her voice through playful exercises. Knowledge of music is not required!
Children who sing regularly develop a feeling for sound and rhythm. They learn to shape sounds in different ways and to present themselves on stage. JEKISS focuses on singing together. It supports the development of your child's cultural identity and promotes intercultural dialogue.
JEKISS takes place once a week in our Dresden cooperation primary schools - as an offer for the 1st to 4th classes. A JEKISS lesson lasts 60 minutes; participation is voluntary and free of charge. The choir director is a music teacher from the HSKD. The children learn different songs, partly with movements or dance steps. The JEKISS children can show their skills at a performance, e.g. at the school's Christmas caroling or summer festival.
The primary school teachers integrate some of the JEKISS songs into the school day, so that all the children in the class and later the whole school can sing these songs together. Registration for JEKISS is done through the class teacher at the respective cooperating primary school.
You can find more information about JEKISS in our flyer (in german).
