The Free School of Music Origlio is pleased to be able to present itself to the school community. From October he will start his activity which will be aimed at children, teenagers and adults. It is made up of a group of teachers – graduated in various musical instruments – who joined with the idea of ​​enriching the musical life of our school, sharing musical experiences and giving individual and group lessons.
