00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:18.870
This educational project was developed with

00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:25.440
the aim to involve in music lessons a student 
suffering from hypoacusia. The attempt was to help

00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.420
her recognize the sounds 
surrounding her every day, even

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:35.309
through written exercises, that is
the transcription of onomatopoeia and

00:00:35.309 --> 00:00:42.970
phonemes, teaching her how to match sounds
to the words she

00:00:42.970 --> 00:00:49.870
read in the onomatopoeia. I initially developed
it as a music project. Then, I decided 

00:00:49.870 --> 00:00:54.730
to involve also the Literature,
Science and in part even the English

00:00:54.730 --> 00:01:01.750
and Art teachers. It therefore turned out to be
a multidisciplinary project, a relatively

00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:10.240
complete learning unit. With regard to 
Literature, we linked the music part 

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.430
to Futurism, working with 
the sounds

00:01:16.430 --> 00:01:24.410
produced by the onomatopoeia 
encountered. With regard to Science, 

00:01:24.410 --> 00:01:30.070
we talked about sound waves and the
propagation of sound. We then connected 

00:01:30.070 --> 00:01:35.869
the topic of onomatopoeia with the
onomatopoeia used in English comic

00:01:35.869 --> 00:01:40.560
books.
The key aspect, 

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.570
the theme, the basic topic, was 
the score Stripsody: a

00:01:45.570 --> 00:01:51.619
score written as a series of 
comic strips that the students had to 

00:01:51.619 --> 00:02:00.060
interpret and then reinterpret in a personalized
way. The project allowed to developed 

00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:05.970
a series of competences, among
which: how to make

00:02:05.970 --> 00:02:13.230
connections and relations, 
how to plan, acquire, interpret

00:02:13.230 --> 00:02:18.750
information, how to communicate even
in a multimedia format,

00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:24.600
cultural awareness and expression,
and lastly how to cooperate actively in an autonomous

00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:29.790
and responsible way in a shared
project. With regard to Music,

00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:35.760
the work was essentially based 
on the realization of

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:40.650
musical experiences through 
vocal performances and interpretations of

00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:48.269
pieces belonging to different genres and 
cultures, also using non-traditional

00:02:48.269 --> 00:02:54.420
notation systems to 
communicate one's thoughts and ideas 

00:02:54.420 --> 00:03:00.450
concerning music, and develop them in a 
multimedia format, besides integrating

00:03:00.450 --> 00:03:06.390
all this knowledge with other
artistic activities and work in an inclusive

00:03:06.390 --> 00:03:12.030
way with classmates.
With regard to the student suffering from hypoacusia,

00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:17.609
instead, we mainly concentrated on 
helping her recognize the sounds 

00:03:17.609 --> 00:03:21.870
surrounding her every day,
recognizing

00:03:21.870 --> 00:03:27.220
them through images with a

00:03:27.220 --> 00:03:34.900
written phoneme and learning how to reproduce sounds
even if not heard, but read. The final

00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:42.520
output of the project was the realization of a 
non-traditional score, similar to the score 

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.620
Stripsody, of a Futurist poem chosen 
with the Italian Literature teacher:

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:54.180
"The Sick Fountain" by Aldo
Palazzeschi. Therefore, besides analyzing

00:03:54.180 --> 00:03:58.810
the score Stripsody, the students
had to write "their own" score, similar 

00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:04.710
to Stripsody, basing it on 
the poem "The Sick Fountain."

00:04:04.710 --> 00:04:11.860
They then had to record a series of sounds and 
realize a score made of sounds:

00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:16.470
so not using the words of the poem but its

00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:19.920
sounds.
