Games, jokes, dances and other things

The expressive performance “Games, jokes, dances and other things on Rossini’s Tarantella” was an interesting musical listening experience lived as an opportunity to meet, share and cooperate. The students listened to music with the aim to spend time together through games, but also to develop the ability to pay attention to music with greater creativity and perceptive sharpness.

Work tools

The space used for the activities was the students’ regular classroom, during the initial approach towards listening, biographical and music research. With regard, instead, to rehearsals and recording, a larger space was necessary, such as the school’s Auditorium. The instruments used to realize the path were an IWB, a music reproduction system and a video camera for the recordings.
