The objective of the project was to develop an interdisciplinary project with the students, through the music channel, capable of communicating through group activities complex themes such as sustainable development, biodiversity, ecosystems. The students involved attended four fourth-year parallel classes. By communicating through music, the students were guided to express their personal ideas and deep thoughts on the theme "environment", working on a common objective. Starting from contents and musical pieces related to the project “Ambient Music”, an original path was developed which culminated with the production of new materials (posters, slogans, poems) and the creation of a new piece entitled “Dai gente salviamo l'ambiente” (“C’mon people, let’s save the environment”).
The project involved 84 students belonging to four fourth-year parallel classes.
Duration: the project was conducted throughout the entire academic year. Small and large open class groups or school sections often worked on realizing the materials. In order to organize such a large project, it was sometimes necessary to divide the proposals among the four different sections-groups of classes. Team work was fundamental in this sense, in order to reproduce all the activities in the various sections. Sometimes we had to modify the teachers’ schedule and add some extra hours.
The places useful for the development of the activities were the classrooms, the main hall, the library, the garden, walking tours aimed to explore the city and the nature.
The materials used: notebooks, IWB, PC, posters, newspapers, sound system, microphone, a bow for the teacher, video cameras, audio workstation for the digital recording, rhythmic instruments.
The skills, goals and training objectives selected by the teacher for this experience are shown below.
The students learned how to:
- listen to pieces of different genres in a careful and selective way
- invent rhymes to be inserted in a given melody
- memorize basic melodies and grasp any possible changes
- play pieces of different genres recognizing the basic structure
