Asterakia

Asterakia is a 40 minute fun music and movement and drama class which enables each child to learn the Greek language and culture.

The idea of creating a fun musical class in Greek came to me after the birth of
my first daughter Ariana. When she was around 14 months, I realised that she
could understand the Greek language but was responding in English as she was
attending nursery from the age of six months. It was then that I realised the
difficulty of raising a child in a bilingual environment. For that reason I tried to
find different ways of teaching her the Greek language through fun games,
nursery rhymes, and traditional tales with puppets. When my second daughter Lydia, listened to songs which I had sung with Ariana
during my pregnancy, she was able to recognize them and would respond by
smiling and laughing. In December, as part of my New Year’s resolution, I started putting everything
on paper and I created the structure and the first unit. The name “Asterakia” is the Greek word for ‘little stars’ and is inspired by my very own little stars Ariana and Lydia. Music is always a lovely way of engaging with my two daughters and spending constructive and educational time together. Ariana’s favourite song is To Gourounaki (Little Pig) and Lydia’s I Koukouvagia
(The owl)
