How GiG Family

 

2026 The new music programme “How GiG Family” welcomes children aged 5 and above from underprivileged families to participate together with their family members. Through percussion, the programme aims to strengthen family bonds—enhancing the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of all participants. It also offers children a joyful space to connect with their family, learn how to interact harmoniously, and express themselves through music.

 

Generations gather together, harmonizing in the joy of music!

 

 

We aim to:

1. Guide children and teenagers to interact with family members and
express themselves through music.
2. Foster family harmony by creating meaningful, shared experiences that deepen connections.
