Fredrik Vahle

“Then she flew away, oh pardon, on a broomstick, straight over the house, three times around and up high.”

When Fredrik Vahle sings the chorus of Anne Kaffeekanne, there is hardly a child who doesn’t sing and dance along.

At his concerts, the musician actively involves children between the ages of three and eight as well as their parents in a varied program. Not only his songs, but also his stories inspire the audience and encourage both young and old listeners to join in.

Fredrik Vahle, born in Stendal in 1942, is a children’s songwriter and children’s book author. Vahle draws ideas and inspiration for his songs and workshops from movement teachings such as Tai Chi, Qigong and Feldenkrais. He also works as a lecturer at the Institute for Childhood and School Pedagogy at the University of Giessen.
