Learning Programme
The club is based on the author's educational programme for out-of-school education "Orchestra of Folk Instruments" (authors: Valerii Horodovenko and Sergii Ilarionov).
What We Study
Children get to know folk musical instruments, the culture and traditions of the Ukrainian people, and the best examples of folk, classical and contemporary music. They learn the basics of music theory and notation, develop skills in playing in an orchestra and ensemble, and become engaged in active musical activity.
