Hi. My name is Andrea Gargiulo and today I will talk to you about the project “Violinist for a day”

00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:27.019
owing to which children between 7 and 11 years old have

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:31.129
the opportunity, even lacking musical knowledge, to play the

00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:35.000
violin in an orchestra. It may seem something magical but in actual fact it is not.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.488
It is an activity that derives from an experimental teaching method called reticular didactics,

00:00:40.488 --> 00:00:47.599
that allows to learn music by playing games. This practical educational method leads children to

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:54.609
learn on the basis of their own rhythm, according to their abilities. They

00:00:54.609 --> 00:01:00.619
assimilate specific concepts carrying out specific practical activities.

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:05.420
In fact, in reticular didactics everything is carried out always in parallel: theoretical

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:10.790
activities and practical activities. Procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge are

00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:16.549
never a target. The target of reticular didactics is to spur children

00:01:16.549 --> 00:01:21.618
towards activity and action. In this way children have the opportunity to

00:01:21.618 --> 00:01:27.858
discover and analyze themselves through experiences without the

00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:31.160
imposition of predefined steps.
