What does a violin actually sound like? Is it easy or difficult to elicit a sound from the French horn? Is drumming actually always just loud?
Children can find these answers, and perhaps even their own favorite instrument, at the music school’s instrument carousel, where all the basic instrument groups can be tried out in rotation under expert guidance. "We still have a few free places and our specialist teachers* are looking forward to all children from the age of six," says music school director Marian Henze.
The instrument carousel begins in mid-February at the Kultur- und Bildungszentrum (KuB) in Bad Oldesloe (hall, Beer-Yaacov-Weg 1)
Piano, drums, guitar, violin, trumpet and French horn can be played
Costs: 25 Euro per month and one-time rental fee of 30 Euro. Info under 04531/80 13 28

Bad Oldesloe – It’s not easy to get an interview with Lennard Hamelberg. But not because the 19-year-old prefers to be out with friends or gambling on his PC, but because he’s probably having a discussion with the mayor, baking cookies for a good cause or writing the annual report for the Oldesloe Children’s and Youth Advisory Council, which he chairs.

The student does all this with heart and soul. And he does it voluntarily, in an honorary capacity. That makes him one of the 50 percent of young people between the ages of 14 and 25 who, according to a survey by the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, are involved in voluntary work here in the state.
"Each and every one of us is part of society and his or her immediate environment. It not only makes sense but is also great fun to be able to help shape things directly and change things for the better," says Lennard Hamelberg, who lives in Seth (Segeberg district) and attends the Ida-Ehre School in Bad Oldesloe. The community school is the cradle of his volunteer work: In eighth grade, he was asked if he would like to train as a so-called dispute mediator. The then 13-year-old wanted to and says today: "I learned an incredible amount there." His friends say he has changed as a result of the assignment, becoming more confident and goal-oriented. Lennard is gaining further experience at Amnesty International and is also helping those in need during an exchange year in the USA. There as well as here he experiences great support from the school. The fact that the student misses a lesson or two because he is planning an extensive action against racism or the like instead is not held against him. On the contrary. Continue on the next page.
