Arabesque International continues with its musical journey in Oman schools

Muscat: Arabesque International is continuing with its musical and educational journey in schools in Muscat, as several workshops will be offered to students in the weeks before their concert.
The Muscat Chamber Music Series has involved the nation’s younger students since its creation. Before each concert, artistes offer workshops and interact with students, who are enthusiastic to learn.
This innovative approach reflects the organisation’s purpose of highlighting the importance of musical education in the lives of children, as well as raising awareness about the values that good music carries.
This year, the workshops will be unique,as young musicians share their knowledge with other youngsters. Amira, 10 years old, and Mariam, 7 years old, will be joining the Horus Piano Duo in visits to five schools.
Besides the musical educational activities in schools, there will also be a workshop at the Association of Early Intervention for Children with Disabilities in Azaiba.
The Muscat Chamber Music Series will be performing its first workshop and is proud to bring music to other young students with special needs. It is known that music can be therapeutic and research supports that it can be effective in assisting in the development of children’s functioning.
The workshops will be held at the following schools in Muscat: PDO School, Alshmoukh School, Indian School Muscat, Bangladesh School and Our Planet School. For more details about hours and location, contact Arabesque International at [email protected]
