Learning music by living it
Fasolet-IEM applies the IEM methodology to early musical education. Designed for children aged 3 to 7, its core principles are to nurture creativity and develop the musical ear.
We understand musical education as a shared experience practised in a group. Music is presented as an innate language that helps every student express themselves naturally.
Ear training
Listening, recognising, remembering and understanding music before analysing it intellectually.
Group experience
Singing, playing and moving with others builds confidence, motivation and enjoyment of music.
Family and music
Sharing the enjoyment of music with families encourages a positive attitude towards learning.
How do we work?
An active classroom
Activities change constantly and each one develops several skills at the same time. This keeps students active, attentive and motivated as their musical abilities grow.
Folk songs and memory
Simple songs capture children’s attention, convey emotion and exercise the memory. Singing with note names helps them connect each sound with its written note.
Singing with words
Through imitation, children learn songs in small motifs and phrases before singing and dancing them with movement. Group singing builds confidence, cohesion and clear vocal expression.
Playing the keyboard
The keyboard develops fine motor skills and invites children to explore sound. It also introduces rhythm, musical notation and the treble and bass clefs.
Ear training
Listening activities develop attention and concentration while helping children recognise rhythmic stress, the qualities of sound, tonal functions and different musical timbres.
Improvisation
Children invent motifs using elements from each song. Repetition, gradual development and rhythmic dictation nurture creativity, concentration, listening and memory.
Rhythm and movement
Words and rhythm, body and instrumental percussion, group exercises and rhythmic patterns linked to text. Students also create and transform their own exercises.
Harmony games
Through cards, actions and movement, children experience harmonic functions playfully and always through music, gradually developing their inner ear.
