SONIA FERRER
Early Music School for Kids and Families
The workshop is recommended for children from 8 years old and is ideal for parents who are planning to go to Early Music Morella and who wish their children to have a first contact with early music or to strengthen the one that may already be germinating in them.
During one week, the participants will be able to enjoy and learn with different didactic and ludic activities: they will know and learn stories, songs, dances, games and medieval tales. They will have the opportunity to see, play and listen to a large number of ancient musical instruments, and much more.
