The Foundation shall promote high-quality music education for children and young people by supporting activities conducted directly or indirectly by the Lilla Akademien Foundation or any educational and concert activities within the field of art music that may replace it, which share the values and holistic approach of the Lilla Akademien Foundation. The Foundation shall primarily support activities in such a way that Lilla Akademien can develop the project "Rum för musikaliska möten" (Room for Musical Encounters) and build an international music centre for children and young people in music.
The Foundation shall support the activities in such a way that the music education provided has good opportunities to maintain a high quality and a high international standard. The Foundation shall support the activities, while the Lilla Akademien Foundation is exclusively responsible for the content of the education and concert activities.
The current return on the Foundation's assets may be used to promote its objectives. Part of the foundation's assets may be used following a special decision by the board. However, it is important that the board takes into account the Lilla Akademien Foundation's long-term need for support for its activities.
The Lilla Akademien Music School is a unique, specially designed music school, where a comprehensive and solid music education is integrated with the various subjects of primary school.
The school's music education aims to give students an in-depth knowledge and experience of music. Our students become involved in a musical collaboration across age boundaries and participate in the music life both inside and outside the school, which promotes a good cohesion among the students.
The school's timetable includes group instruction in music theory subjects, choral singing in all grades, orchestra and ensemble as well as instruments. Instrument instruction is a very central part of the education and each student receives 20 minutes of individual instruction on his or her main instrument. The Little Academy offers instruction in most instruments: piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass; wind instruments such as recorder, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, oboe, French horn, bassoon and saxophone, as well as percussion, guitar, harp, organ and chordion. Students receive individual instrument instruction of the highest international standard.
Making music together provides both joy, stimulation and challenges. The school has built up an extensive ensemble program for all different instruments and has a large orchestral activity. Orchestral and ensemble playing is included in the regular teaching. All students gain solid stage experience by performing at several of the school's many concerts.
To further strengthen the artistic character, all students receive instruction in creative subjects such as dance and art, with the aim of providing deeper contact with other creative forms of expression.
The values of the Lilla Akademi Music School are based on a holistic view of each student's development and rest on the concepts of security, trust, respect and responsibility.
We value knowledge, creativity and quality in teaching and want to give students a unique education and inspiration for lifelong music-making.
We want our school to be characterized by peace of mind, calm and respect for people's differences. Lilla Akademien is a relatively small, one-parallel school and it gives us the opportunity to see and confirm both students and adults on a daily basis. All students at the school are the responsibility of all adults. We want to provide the conditions for good meetings between people, both inside and outside the school, between both students and adults. Creating a good working climate is the very foundation of the school's activities and each student's opportunity to develop in the best way.
