It was of great importance to Klemens Heinen to bring the wonderful world of music to as much children as possible.
In the context of these efforts he composed three works for children: „Hatschi Bratschi“, „Die Heinzelmännchen von Köln“ („The brownies of Cologne“) and „Die Häschenschule“ („The bunnyschool“).
But his main endevour was the founding of a private music school where especially children discover the path to music through the magical force of fascination.
To better achieve this goal, numerous learning systems were developed, based on the latest advances in brain- and learning-sciences
(> www.musikschule-heinen.de).
Furthermore Klemens Heinen visited many schools to promote music. He sang with individual children, classes and whole shools. He introduced children to improvisation and explained what a composer does.

by example, to make the world
a more peaceful, better place.“

„Music creates order out of chaos.
Children - endangered by our own inventions -
feel, where we should grant them protection.
The music gives this protection to them.“
