Music education for primary and secondary schools

Learning with the Residentie Orkest

Participating, experiencing and making music with the orchestra – that's at the heart of learning about music at the Residentie Orkest. We invite primary and secondary school students into the symphonic world of great composers, beautiful works and passionate musicians. A wonderful world that amazes, enriches and inspires.

We offer both longer-term projects and one-off lessons, with activities either on or off school premises. You can opt for a ready-made or a fully customised programme. Our educational offer is in line with the educational goals of primary and secondary education in the Netherlands.

Behind the scenes

Getting started with Discover the Orchestra

Last weeks, all teachers from the schools entering our Discover the Orchestra curriculum this year literally had to "get to work"! They attended a hands-on workshop to experience what their students will be experiencing in the coming years, and each of them conducted a piece of Carmen's Overture and rehearsed various play-along parts.
