The path was a journey in the world of music, through the guided discovery of basic musical concepts that were realized through a practical experience. The multisensorial musical path was organized according to well-defined stages, creating a sort of ritual, in a climate of expectation and curiosity.
Following the underlying theme of a narration, a basic music literacy path was realized, developing in students the pleasure to play ensemble music having fun all together.
- The book: Nidi di note - Un cammino in dieci passi verso la musica (by B. Tognolini, P. Fresu, A. Sanna, S. Peana) and other educational material indicated in the bibliography.
- Orff instruments, an audio reproduction system, a journal written in itinere by the teacher proposing the project.
- The activity needs to be carried out in an environment suitable from an acoustic viewpoint and big enough to allow students to move easily during the musical games proposed.
- It is useful to start the lessons sitting on the floor, in a circle, in order to create a cozy environment, so as to facilitate the listening of the story and to better organize the following musical activity.
- Time necessary for the realization: it takes about three months (an hour a week) to read the book.
The skills, goals and training objectives selected by the teacher for this experience are shown below.
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES:
The students learned how to:
- grasp the most immediate expressive values of the pieces listened to, translating them with words, movements, drawings
- express themselves with songs and movements;
- use several musical instruments (Orff instruments);
- reproduce and create simple rhythmic sequences through body percussion and percussion instruments;
- recognize and distinguish several aspects related to sound (duration, pitch, intensity, timbre) and music (tempo, rhythm, melody);
- sing, move and play all together and keep time, coordinating their movements with each other, waiting for their own turn, respecting the modulation and the scheme of the pieces.
TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES:
The students achieved:
- an aptitude to listening (to the teacher, classmates, sounds and particular sonorous stimuli);
- self-control;
- lateralization and fine motility;
- attention, concentration, memorization;
- cognitive skills (use of logic, intuitive, creative thinking and syllabification skills);
- dialogue and cooperation;
- an attitude of respect and interest towards other cultures, as music can play a privileged role in such sense, since it is a non-verbal language.
