00:00:15.850 --> 00:00:19.740
This educational project is
part of a multi-year course

00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:24.490
launched by the Campagnano
comprehensive at its Mazzano

00:00:24.490 --> 00:00:30.970
Romano branch starting from the
2015-16 school year with a presentation

00:00:30.970 --> 00:00:37.710
of the DM8 Project from 2011. This project
envisaged two hours of lab activities

00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:43.270
weekly for first or second year
primary school classes,

00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:47.050
depending on the number of classes
organized that year, continuing until

00:00:47.050 --> 00:00:53.019
the fifth year of primary school.
In the 2017-18 academic year I was

00:00:53.019 --> 00:00:57.729
employed as an enrichment teacher,
I was therefore able to continue this

00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:04.600
kind of activity and I presented a
project on a transversal theme to

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:10.540
the whole institute, that is, a journey,
organized by class and the specific

00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:15.850
activities carried out by colleagues.
The class involved in the project were

00:01:15.850 --> 00:01:20.140
in their third-year of primary school,
with a music course that had begun

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:24.490
in their first year.
The activities were always carried out

00:01:24.490 --> 00:01:28.409
with the whole class in school hours.

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:56.819
This was designed as a 
multidisciplinary course

00:01:56.819 --> 00:02:03.670
aimed at identifying such 
interdisciplinary concepts as

00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:12.549
the phrase, musical poetics in relation
to poetic metre, in other words, the

00:02:12.549 --> 00:02:19.690
number of syllables, accents, rhymes;
such time-related aspects as

00:02:19.690 --> 00:02:25.379
tempo, pulse,
rhythmic sequences;

00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:39.340
polyrhythms, with the concept of
contemporaneity, and so on.

00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:44.579
Specifically, we involved a teacher
of Italian and Art for the

00:02:44.579 --> 00:02:53.319
class to work on a nursery rhyme 
“The Cat In Love” and make drawings for it.

00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:59.950
The topic chosen was the animated
film “The Aristocats” but then

00:02:59.950 --> 00:03:06.489
other music was used during
the work to further investigate or

00:03:06.489 --> 00:03:24.690
transfer the concepts learned.

00:03:24.690 --> 00:03:31.330
The project is based on Dalcroze 
Eurhythmics and starts from the conviction

00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:37.540
that movement through exploration, and
improvisations using the body and the

00:03:37.540 --> 00:03:44.770
voice, can become fundamental tools
to get to know music, i.e., for

00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:51.660
active listening, interpretation
and an analysis of musical elements.

00:03:51.660 --> 00:03:59.290
We therefore start from sensory stimuli
and concrete activities to reach

00:03:59.290 --> 00:04:07.950
a suitable point for analyses and
conceptualization. Several proposals

00:04:07.950 --> 00:04:15.370
were made for the collective preparation
of some choreography and an

00:04:15.370 --> 00:04:21.720
instrumental accompaniment for the
music selected, whose musical

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:28.660
characteristics were underlined.
A highly useful and practical

00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:38.800
tool is an assessment grid to
evaluate progress during

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:47.050
the project, a grid which
contains the competencies involved

00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:52.600
in the activities, the different aspects of
which each competency is composed and

00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.490
an assessment of the learning levels
achieved.
