Esta última semana hemos estado hablando de las mujeres en la música. A lo largo de la Historia de la música han sido silenciadas en muchas ocasiones y, por ese motivo, los alumnos tenían que buscar mujeres que hayan destacado en este campo y hablar sobre ellas. ¡Encontraron un montón!. Como coincidió con la elaboración de trivs de vídeo (ojalá pudiera ponerlos todos porque son estupendos), decidí crear uno sobre mujere y os animo a intenarlo. :P ¿Cuántas preguntas sois capaces de adivinar? ;) Aquí tenéis el link: Mujeres en la música (parte 1)
This last week, we have been talking about women in music. Through the History of Music, they have been silenced in many occasions and that's why my students had to look for remarkable women in Music and talk about them. There were quite a few!! As we were working with the making of video trivs (I wish I could post all the great works they have done), I decided to create one about women and I encourage you to give it a try. How many are you able to guess? ;) Here you have the link: Mujeres en la música (parte 1)

Otra cosa curiosa es que mis alumnos creen que ciertos intrumentos son más "masculinos" y otros más "femeninos". Para poner en duda este estereotipo, aquí tenéis un vídeo de una batería nata. ¡Y aún es solo una niña!
Another curious thing is that my students believe that certain instruments are "masculine" and some other "female". To question this stereotype, here you have a video of a natural drummer. And she is just a girl!!
Después de ver este vídeo, me preguntaron cuál era la diferencia entre un niño prodigio y un virtuoso. Se lo expliqué y, ahora, os dejo un vídeo y os lo pregunto a vosotros: ¿Creéis que esta niña es una virtuosa o una prodigio?. ¿Por qué?.
After watching this video, my students asked me what was the difference between a prodigy and a virtuoso. I explained it to them and, now, I leave you another video and I ask you: do you think this girl is a virtuoso or a prodigy?. Why?.
