Educational Programmes
for school groups of all levels
Getting to know Greek folk musical instruments through music and movement games!
Children discover Greek folk musical instruments, their role in traditional celebrations, as well as sound-producing objects such as bells, which have multiple uses and take part in important customs throughout the yearly cycle.
(The programme was designed in collaboration with music educator Nasi Toumpakari.)
Through play, we discover sound-making toys and singing games!
The aim of the programme is to introduce children to old games and playful activities once enjoyed in neighbourhoods and open spaces, which included rhythm and song.
A musical exploration of Greek musical tradition through the heroes of shadow theatre!
Children discover traditional music, musical instruments and their distinctive features through Greek Shadow Theatre (Karagiozis) and its characters, taking part in audiovisual games and dramatising characteristic shadow theatre figures.
The Museum invites children to observe musical instruments made from natural materials, listen to their sounds — often imitating those of nature — and discover a world that once lived very close to it. At the same time, they are encouraged to reflect on today’s relationship between humans and nature, the risks of reckless human activity, and to take part in actions for its protection.
From human breath to aerophone musical instruments…
The aim of the programme is to introduce children to air as a source of life and as a means of producing sound, focusing first on the human body — breathing, voice, speech and song — and then on aerophone (wind) musical instruments. Children take part in experiential activities and musical games.
