The Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne & Victoria have started online music lessons for young children who want to stay in touch with their creative side during the recent coronavirus lockdown.
The lessons, which launched in semester two, are taught by musician, Maria Kourkourika, who dials in via Zoom from Thessaloniki.
Students from the Community’s schools have the opportunity to meet and learn traditional songs and musical instruments, to make their own and to express themselves by dancing and singing to the music.
The overall purpose of the lessons is to acquaint and connect children with another element of Greek culture and tradition – its music and songs.
Judging by the smiles on the faces of students, it looks like the classes are a resounding success!
