Why Bravo!!
After every successful performance, what warms the heart of the artistes & performers to make them feel appreciated? The answer is simple – applause from the audience, a standing ovation, & of course, the cheer of “Bravo!!”
At Vocalise, we believe that music appreciation can be cultivated from young. Thus our co-founder, Ziline, decided to embark on a specially curated workshop series, targeting children between ages 3 – 6. Children are most responsive, and it is the best age for them to learn new things. Besides picking up an instrument, there are many other engaging ways for kids to learn music through play. Children can be intrigued though activities like song & dance, as well as craft.
With our access to musicians, we will create special concert segments where children will have up close experience with the different instruments, from Chinese traditional instruments to woodwind & brass. Through these concerts, we hope to increase the appreciation for music of all genres.
