To mark the conclusion of a year's music lessons, participants at Ezer Mizion's Beit Chana Activity Clubs for children with special needs presented a unique concert.
The Activity Clubs program features a "music room" that is used for: group music activity, individual emotional therapy, drumming sessions, choir class and music lessons. The music lessons follow a unique approach adapted for children with developmental challenges, which replaces the regular music notation with colors.
Despite their special needs and challenges, the youngsters performed superbly. Some even managed to play full songs. The concert performance highlighted completion of the year's music study. Parents and family members who took part in the event were deeply impressed and visibly excited at their children's achievement. There is no doubt that this kind of "success experience" build's the self-confidence in these children and contributes immeasurably toward uplifting their self-esteem. It gives the children a feeling of being the same as those around them and charges them with energy to persevere. Once again, the children proved that when you believe in their ability - they can do it! |
