JeKits at the Hermann-Löns-Schule
At the Hermann-Löns-Schule, the JeKits program begins in the first grade. Once a week, Mrs. Brägelmann (teacher at the Gronau-Epe music school) introduces the children to various musical topics in a playful way.
From Year 2 onwards, children can learn a musical instrument of their choice in cooperation with the Gronau-Epe music school. The lessons take place at the Hermann-Löns-Schule. The children are taught both in small groups and in larger groups in the form of an orchestra. Orchestra concerts are held regularly, at which the children present the pieces of music they have already learned to their classmates, parents and grandparents.
