10 Years of »JeKi« (an instrument for every child)

The Door to Instrumental Play

For 30,000 Hamburg primary school children in 62 schools, the Authority for Schools has opened this door over the past 10 years: from getting to know the instruments for the first time and trying out how to produce sound, to weekly lessons in small groups and presentations at school and beyond, the »JeKi« children have immersed themselves in the world of playing instruments. »JeKi« (an instrument for every child) enables all children to participate, regardless of their family background, because it is free of charge. Thus, every child in the JeKi schools has the chance to climb the first steps on an instrument of their own choice.
