At NiQo Music School in Dübendorf (Zurich), Music Discovery is a gentle and joyful introduction to the world of music, designed for children aged 4 to 7. In small groups of up to 7 children, they explore rhythm, movement, melody, and sound through games, stories, and hands-on discovery.
Each session nurtures their musical ear, motor coordination, and creative expression — laying the foundations for future instrumental learning, whether violin, flute, or simply the love of music.
Group lessons are available in French, English, or German.
Music Discovery – A playful first step into music
World of Sounds
From Drums to Birdsong, Music Is Everywhere
Children are invited to explore rhythms, melodies, and textures from around the world through playful games, stories, and hands-on discovery.
Feel the Music
Moving, Singing, and Playing with Emotion
Through songs, movement, and improvisation, children learn to express feelings and ideas — discovering how music can speak without words.
Growing Together
Listening, Sharing, and Creating as a Group
In a warm and welcoming setting, children build confidence, cooperation, and a joyful sense of belonging — one note at a time.
A Gentle First Step into Music
Every child connects to music in their own way — through movement, rhythm, listening, or simple joy. That’s why Music Discovery is designed as a warm and playful introduction for children aged 4 to 7, too young to start a traditional instrument but just at the right age to awaken their musical senses.
Through group activities, we explore rhythm, melody, body awareness, and listening — using simple instruments (ukulele, percussion, flute), everyday objects, and voice. Each session encourages interaction, curiosity, and natural expression.
Rather than rushing into technique, we focus on building a foundation of joy, attention, and musical instinct — all essential qualities that will support instrumental learning later on.
Music Is Everywhere
At NiQo Music School, music isn’t limited to instruments or sheet music — it’s in the sounds of nature, the rhythm of footsteps, the rustle of paper. Music Discovery helps children realize that music is all around them, and within them.
Each semester ends with a small, informal sharing moment for families. It’s a beautiful opportunity to witness the children’s growth — not through performance, but through presence, confidence, and delight in sound.
This collective experience strengthens their sense of rhythm, coordination, and emotional expression — while also helping them feel safe and proud in front of others.
A Format That Fits Your Needs
Music Discovery sessions take place every Wednesday from 15:00 to 16:00 at NiQo Art Studio in Dübendorf, in a peaceful and welcoming space. Each group is limited to 6–7 children maximum, to ensure individual attention and a calm atmosphere.
The activity runs on a semester basis, with a fee of CHF 380.– per term, in line with the extracurricular activities of the LFZ.

Discovering music at an early age is more than just fun — it actively supports brain development, coordination, and emotional growth.
Research shows that early musical experiences improve language acquisition, fine motor skills, and social-emotional abilities in young children. Group music-making also encourages cooperation, listening, and self-regulation — all essential for healthy development.
