Our students in preschool and Grade 1 recently enjoyed two interactive concerts led by music education specialists ParteMus, right here at Collège Champittet. Musicians Claudia Gregoris (flute) and Jordan Gregoris (cello) treated our young learners to the captivating performances, inviting them to plunge into the world of music and participate with their voices, hands and feet.
The first concert, “Au fil des saisons”, explored the theme of nature and the changing seasons. As our students listened to different melodies and harmonies, they imagined the flora and fauna evoked by this music while enjoying a tale of friendship.
During the second concert, “La musique des émotions”, our students explored their feelings through music, connecting changing rhythms and musical textures to different emotions. Inspired by the children’s book La Couleur des Émotions, the show told the story of Archibald, an endearing monster who experiences a rainbow of emotions, including joy, sadness, serenity, anger, fear and love.
Through both concerts, our guest artists blended music with storytelling, encouraging our children to activate their listening skills, empathy and imagination. For our preschoolers and primary students, discovering new worlds through music was a magical experience!
Creating and listening to music enriches our lives in countless ways. At Collège Champittet, we have chosen to focus on this powerful art form as the theme for this school year. We look forward to continue bringing the joy of music to our students, with many more concerts and musical activities to come!
Boarding at Collège Champittet offers the opportunity to enjoy exceptional adventures not only in Switzerland, but also around the globe! Recently, a group of our boarding students travelled to Oman to spend an unforgettable two weeks immersed in culture and nature.
