The MUS-E® Programme
Children and young people have always been at the centre of Lord
Menuhin’s thoughts. For Yehudi Menuhin they embodied the hope for
tomorrow’s world, and to this end he envisaged the MUS-E® Programme as
a way of helping them to realise their innate creative potential and
inner well being.
In this context, he created the MUS-E® programme, together with Werner
Schmitt, Head of the Bern Conservatoire and Marianne Poncelet,
Secretary General of the IYMF. Lord Menuhin’s profound wish was to give
all children the opportunity to sing and dance at school and develop
thus creativity, affection, joy, respect; elements which he saw as
absolutely necessary for the development and personal fulfilment of a
child.
