Our educational program aims to develop students' musical abilities and enhance their artistic perspectives, nurturing them to be well-rounded individuals. From a young age, our students are introduced to Orff and elementary music, engaging in Body Percussion exercises to discover different parts of the body and the rhythmic sounds they produce, using their bodies as rhythmic instruments. Additionally, students familiarize themselves with instruments during classes, gaining awareness of the distinctions between various instruments. Playing instruments, they express their musical creativity by accompanying the music they listen to with their own voices. Solfege training, initiated from the second grade, is reinforced with melodica.
FEEL THE MUSIC IN MUSIC CLASSES
Music education at Eyüboğlu takes place in well-equipped music classrooms where various musical instruments such as piano, guitar, flute, saxophone, oboe, clarinet, harp, accordion, sousaphone, timpani, and gong are available. These classrooms are equipped with computers, projectors, and smart boards compatible with various music software.
PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, CHOOSE YOUR SPECIALTY
To support the personal, cognitive, and social development of our students and enhance their instrumental skills, branch courses are introduced in our curriculum from the 5th grade onwards. Following the joint curriculum of the Ministry of National Education (MEB) and the International Baccalaureate (IB), students take their first steps towards specialization in branches such as violin, guitar, percussion, music technologies, choir, and wind instruments (saxophone and clarinet). A solid foundation is laid to allow them to discover their talents.

Students interested in music can sustain their connection with music by joining music clubs of their choice from elementary school onwards. Options include:
- Elementary School: Violin Club, Cello Club, and Guitar Club

At the beginning of each academic year, musical talent assesment is conducted by teachers in the Performing Arts Department to guide all Eyüboğlu students according to their talents. Based on these screenings, students who play instruments regularly showcase solo performances in weekly lunch concerts. In these mini concerts, students have the opportunity to listen to their peers and enjoy delightful moments.
