Target audience: children from 6 to 12 years old or up to the eighth grade

Calendar: weekly meetings lasting 2 hours divided into a section lesson with the instrument teacher and group lesson/ensemble music

Ensemble music course for small wind and percussion instruments

The course aims to bring primary and secondary school students closer to music through collective teaching and the immediate use of wind and percussion instruments, typical of the tradition of musical bands. The aggregation and the involvement in the team game are driving force and fundamental principle of the project, of sure effectiveness in order to create new stimuli to learn.

Goals

The course proposes an initial approach to the practice of ensemble music with wind and percussion instruments typical of the band tradition. Through collective teaching and the immediate use of instruments, children learn not only to play an instrument from the very first lessons, but also to coordinate in relation to the group, creating in this way a real band.

Course setting

During the first part of the project the students will be presented and tested all the tools made available by the school, then each of them will choose, also taking into account the teacher’s instructions, the instrument he will like the most and for which he will be considered the most inclined. This first phase will be followed by a real approach to instrumental practice, thus giving birth to a small "band", through the method used in the project "ORCHESTRATING" promoted by Yamaha: the boys will learn to perform exercises and small musical tracks starting from the knowledge of a single sound, and gradually increasing the level of difficulty.

The enthusiasm that this method generates and the desire to play together will make it possible to achieve a real team work, in which everyone will participate in a common goal and no one will feel excluded. The project also provides for the possibility of organizing twinning with companies that have chosen to undertake the same type of path.
