MUSIC and EMOTIONS in ITALY

MUSIC and EMOTIONS - secondary  school

The magic of music: can you feel  emotions?

Classes of Secondary School (student’s age 11-14)

Period: from  May to June

Teachers involved: italian, musical education.

Topic: sing national anthems

We met in the music room with the students and their teachers singing their national anthems. With no previous arrangement, but spontaneously, when the young musicians started with the first notes on their instruments, the group started to sing, someone hesitating, others more self-confident and loudly...wonderful emotions did we feel!

I watched around and could notice the joy in the eyes of the people in the classroom but also amazement, fulfillment. We had never met before but we felt close and happy.

The concert went on with the Big of music: everybody knows  Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Puccini…. Let’s raise the Italian flag! Here melodrama was born, we can’t forget it!

For this project the students of secondary class 3 have worked on a poster on Chopin in honour to Poland with a presentation of Chopin in English.

On another poster, with the pictures of our young musicians of Rosa Govone, they described in English the emotions the students have proved during their school years at Rosa Govone.

We are grateful to Erasmus Project because it has given us the opportunity to experiment magical moments beyond the differences of languages, tasting the true essence of music.
