LES PETITS EXPLORATEURS SUISSE

Discover the hackbrett, swing a coin—and make some noise!
Strange sounds, fun names! A special Swiss National Day edition of our playful workshop exploring quirky traditional instruments.
Friday 01 August 2025 09:30 to 10:20  —  atelier kids
Martine Pernoud

A collection of curious, traditional instruments—some to strike, some to spin—have found their way into the music bag of early-years specialist Martine Pernoud. Children and their accompanying adults will discover unusual sounds, including the hackbrett (a hammered dulcimer) and the Talerschwingen (a coin spun in a ceramic bowl). Designed for groups of five children aged 5 to 12, each with a participating parent, this workshop offers a lively and tactile entry into the world of Swiss folk music.
