The "MusikSchützen Dresden" is aimed at preschool and elementary school-aged children in Dresden. In an age-appropriate way, they go on a musical discovery tour and playfully learn about tones and melodies. The "MusikSchützen Dresden" enable children to discover their personal strengths through intensive musical training, and to try out and learn instruments.
At preschool age, the MusikSchützen preschool takes place in the familiar environment of the daycare center. The young participants can get to know different instruments - and in the following years learn an instrument at the cooperating elementary schools (choice of instrument by elementary school).
The offer is free of charge in preschool and first grade (under the condition of support by GTA funds, among others), which gives children access to musical education regardless of their social background. From the 2nd grade on, the students receive lessons for a small fee.
With the "MusikSchützen Dresden" we want to improve the broad musical education in the city of Dresden and promote the individual development of the children. In the 2019/2020 school year, more than 1,000 students took part in "MusikSchützen Dresden".
