As the Principal of the integrated musical education centre of the Ágora-Portals School and at the same time as the Coordinator for the Area of musical education at the Ágora-Portals School I am pleased to welcome you and introduce this innovative and unique educational project.
Musical education contributes to the full development of people: developing intellectual abilities, an artistic and creative sensitivity, promoting discipline and effort, as well as cooperation and fostering a critical personality...Therefore, the basis of this project is the understanding of music no only as another aspect of comprehensive education, but as one of its cornerstones. This way musical education becomes one of the distinctive quality features of our centre.
This is why our students, during the initial phases of education, are introduced to the universe of music in a sensorial manner, and this knowledge is then built on during primary education, where they start learning to play a musical instrument and where we try to make them be in contact with music nearly every day. All students play an instrument and sing regularly every week in one of the various instrument and vocal groups in the centre.
By the time they finish primary education, all our students receive an Elementary Music Certificate.
Students deciding to continue with professional music education in secondary education and baccalaureate will receive a Professional Music Certificate.
