and recycling
By
Enrico Gallo
Abstract
In our daily lives each of us is subjected to a great deal of consumer goods, each of which produces materials appear to lack utility, or simply relegated to objects to fill the already full garbage bins. The importance of making an educational talk that attention to the environment, is undoubtedly an important reference point for young people.
-On this basis we have thought of a journey that manages to combine environmental education and music.
-The main theme that will be covered include recycling as a form of reuse of the objects seemingly useful. Recycling means first start up the imagination to rethink the form and use of a particular object.
- Through the collective imagination, to invent a new form for items, discover a whole new musical use of the objects of rejection. These objects become something definite, potential tools musical, which will be used by children to stimulate their musicality, taking a real course of music education, as well as environmental.
Objective
-L 'objective of the workshop is to operate an educational course on two levels. Join the awareness of environmental issues by developing a more conscious perception of music as a collective phenomenon.
-Environmental issues will be addressed in a broader perspective that includes education mainly to a good relationship with others in the communities:
- Aims to be asked during the meeting:
- reopen discussion of the styles of consumption, paying attention to the externalities produced by the throwaway culture.
- Behave in a collective fantasy to think with a new way to view and manage objects that are daily waste products.
- Develop other viewpoints is not customary in respect of discarded objects.
- Develop concept of sound as the voice of the objects.
- Building through the recycling of discarded objects, instruments with his voice.
- Develop manual activities through Reconstruction of "musical objects" inspired by musical instruments.
- Produce educational paths to the sound and music, as events of sounds and sorted concatenated basic rules.
- Develop capacity to produce "music together", as the time socializing and discipline relationships.
- Making the end, a small test job-exposure as an encounter with the world outside school.
Method.
- The method of work is collective. The class will be formed by a minimum of 8 students to the maximum of 15. The laboratory should have weekly meetings of two hours, four times a month, during which:
- It will make direct comparisons with the objects with which they come in contact.
- will discuss the main issues related to environmental issues and problems related to waste disposal.
- We must perform a targeted collection of objects that can be reused for the intended purpose.
- You will then pass to their processing and modeling.
- then the "musical objects" constructed will be used for the construction of a small repertoire of music.
- You will learn basic musical concepts, focusing mainly on rhythm.
