Activities for charter groups

At the Musée de la Musique, during the visit-workshops, the guides take care to adapt themselves to the group (vocabulary, length of the visit, etc.). Educational material is put at the disposal of the participants (instruments from the western world and elsewhere, instruments that can be dismantled, samples of wood, other instrument-making materials). A musical repertory selected by the guide illustrates the visit and complements the performance of the musician who plays in the rooms of the Museum..

Sensory Visit

• > This visit offers a workshop followed by an itinerary through the Museum. It allows a small group to discover instruments and the music they produce. The tactile exploration of instrument-making materials, handling of whole instruments or their dismantled components and listening to musical excerpts are combined with the visit to the collections.
• > Duration: 2 hours
• > Possibility of establishing a project over several sessions.

Prices

• > Visit with guide for charter groups :
  €50 (5 to 10 participants)

The workshops in collective musical practice at the Folie Musique encourage each individual to enjoy a sensory experience that he or she can share with the group. The participants are introduced to music and instruments from around the world. The activities can be prepared jointly with the persons in charge of the groups.

Music is present throughout the itinerary via audio-guides that transmit musical excerpts in relation to the displayed instruments.

Musical awareness

• > Musical awareness develops sensitivity to the world of sound. By playing with their voices and instruments from different regions of the world, participants familiarise themselves with such essential notions as the musical gesture, expressiveness and rhythm. Two wheelchairs are available at the cloakroom of the Museum..
• > Single sessions and 10-session cycles

World music instruments

• > By participating to guided visits to the permanent exhibition and the practical music workshops, visitors will explore traditional instruments from around the world and their repertories. A guide and a musician present each visit as a duo, providing a concrete approach to the presentation of the Museum’s instruments. This cycle provides an introduction to musical traditions associated with the instruments examined in the workshop. During the final session, participants play the gamelan, an ensemble of Indonesian percussion instruments similar to that on display in the Museum.
