Pieza de Regalo en el Concierto de Castellón de Rugat.
Monthly Archives: febrero 2015
La clase de instrumento o de canto no es una clase como cualquier otra. La música es una enseñanza personalizada, cuyas lecciones son siempre cara a cara con el alumno. Desde el primer minuto, profesor y alumno establecerán una relación personal-profesional que probablemente continuará a la largo de toda su carrera.
Primeros pasos
La edad a la que un niño suele empezar a estudiar música se sitúa entre los 6 y los 9 años. Los niños de estas edades ya llevan unos años yendo al colegio y recibiendo un tipo de enseñanza más generalizada para toda su clase. La personalización que experimentan en el Conservatorio es nueva para ellos. Como profesores debemos ser pacientes. Estos niños probablemente no estén acostumbrados a mantener la concentración durante toda la clase. Hay que reconducirlos hacia la actividad que estemos realizando de manera inteligente, sin frustrar al alumno. Estas primeras clases serán determinantes para que el alumno venga motivado y empiece a construir un vínculo con su profesor.
El equilibrio en esta primera fase de la relación profesor-alumno es muy importante. El exceso de confianza transformará al profesor en una mala niñera que tiene que lidiar con un niño revoltoso. Hay que encontrar el balance perfecto entre la buena relación con el niño y la disciplina propia del aula. Nunca asustarle siendo demasiado estricto, pero sí mostrarse exigente.
Alabar las buenas prácticas más que castigar las malas lo conducirá a que potencie estas buenas prácticas para sentir el orgullo de su profesor. Pero cuidado con este deseo de agradar al profesor, hay que conseguir que el alumno toque para su propio disfrute. Si no, estará confundiendo la función de ir a clase (aprender) con agradar a su profesor.
Cuando el alumno ya no es un niño
La etapa pre-adolescente y adolescente es complicada tanto para el profesor como para el alumno. En estos años, el profesor debe reforzar la disciplina, exigir más del alumno y mantener un poco más de distancia emocional. Pero, como siempre, debemos cuidar el binomio buen rendimiento=aceptación, mal rendimiento=no aceptación. Si empezamos a actuar así, la relación profesor-alumno puede estropearse. Acabaremos creando miedo en el alumno, miedo a decepcionarnos. Su preocupación se situará en el profesor y no en lo que tiene que aprender y en la música.
De adulto
Siendo ya adulto, el alumno ya habrá forjado un vínculo con su profesor. En esta época, si continúa estudiando música es porque le gusta lo suficiente como para dedicarse a ella. El vínculo con el profesor es más fuerte, pues éste es un guía indispensable en la carrera del alumno. La relación ya no sólo se basa en el aula, muchas veces llega a los aspectos personales de la vida de ambos, tanto profesor como alumno.
Debemos cuidar siempre esta relación, no permitir que los alumnos se hagan dependientes de nosotros por completo, pero sí ser un apoyo y una guía para ellos. A veces hay ser un poco psicólogo, y no sólo limitarse a los aspectos técnicos y musicales. Para nuestro alumno, somos un ejemplo de músico exitoso, debemos darle las herramientas adecuadas para que alcance su máximo potencial, con disciplina y cercanía al mismo tiempo.

El Músico Adicto. La Musicorexia
L' activitat consisteix en fer una composició amb unes bases de beat box que ja ens vénen donades. Vosaltres només cal que decidiu quins sons voleu i després ho enregistreu. El programa que utilitzarem és diu Incredibox. Recentment ha sortit la versió 4. Bàsicament la versió 3 i la versió 4 són molt semblants tot i que incorpora una novetat: és pot descarregar la composició en format waw.
Damunt de cada personatge apareix l'opció de clicar per silenciar el personatge, deixar-lo com a solista, o eliminar-lo, tal com s'explica en la imatge que he posat a la dreta.
Cal que tingueu en compte que teniu 4 tipus de sons diferents: BEATS, EFECTES, MELODIES I VEUS.
Abans de començar llegiu bé què s'ha fer:
Com ja sabeu sempre que expliquem una història (ja sigui amb paraules, imatges, sons...) ha de tenir una INTRODUCCIÓ, un NUS i un DESENLLAÇ.
Així que caldrà que seguiu aquestes pautes:
Així que caldrà que seguiu aquestes pautes:
1- Un inici ben clar (amb pocs elements)
2- Un desenvolupament a base de superposició d'elements
3- Aproximadament a la meitat de la composició hi posareu un solo (per crear expectació i captar l'atenció de l'oient)
4- El final és opcional (pot ser anar treient elements a poc a poc; final sobtat...).
5-Vigileu! Els canvis i el final han de coincidir amb el beat (accent de cada seqüència melòdico/rítmica).
Un cop acabat heu d'anar a "Share". Us demanarà el vostre nom, posar un títol a la composició (mireu de ser originals i creatius amb el nom) i el nom a qui voleu dedicar la cançó. Després haureu de copiar la URL i enviar el treball a través de l'Edmodo. També es pot compartir a Facebook.
El treball ha de tenir una durada de 10 a 15 loops (si el feu de menys de 10 loops no us el deixarà gravar)

>> FAQ CARMEN ONLINE 2015 (English)
1. What is the competition?
When we decided to create this project three years ago, we had two questions: Are children 8 to 16 years capable of composing, writing, playing and recording music using the Internet? Could we use the melodies the children created to make a collective work, played in a concert with professional musicians? These two questions sum up the basis for the Melodías Online project.
Students from schools and conservatories, have the opportunity to create and participate in a collective work. This year the competition is centered on the myth of “Carmen” and the music of Bizet.
2. Who can participate?
There are different divisions students can participate in – composition and dance. Each division has specific requirements that must be met. Students between the ages of 8 and 16 can participate, depending on the division.
3. How can you participate?
The student communicates their interest to their music tutor or teacher at the school or conservatory they attend. The teacher will then register the student by filling out the registration form on the contest website. Students can register individually or as part of a group. All dances must be registered in the group division. There is no individual division for dance at this time.
4. How to register?
First, read carefully all the terms and conditions for the contest. Once you have read and understand the terms, choose a category and inform your teacher that you would like to participate in the contest. Your teacher can then fill out the registration form on the contest’s website. (from January 15 to February 20).
5. What are the Prizes?
There are prizes for each category. This year there are 1,200 euros in musical materials to be awarded, spread out over the composition and dance divisions.
6. What are the dates and phases for registration?
There are several phases:
REGISTRATION: January 15 to February 20, 2015
PHASE 1. Competition begins. February 23 until March 21
PHASE 2. Uploading files. From March 23 until April 17(Deadline to
count total views of the posting April 17).
PHASE 3. Selection of finalists. Third week of April.
PHASE 4. Publication of the winners. Last week of April or first of
May.
PHASE 5. Award ceremony and final concert. June, the concert date and awards will be announced later.
8. What musical level should the students have?
You can participate with only an elementary knowledge of music. Each award has a particular student profile in mind. For example the prize of Melody Soloist, is more for students studying in music schools and conservatories. On the other hand, Melodías’ prize for “Best Interpreted,” is more focused on the public school level, being more suitable for primary and secondary students.
There is also the possibility of participating in the prize for “Most Listened to Melody.” It is composed of students of different ages and levels. Make sure to look at the descriptions of each category before making your choice.
9. Should we make a video and sheet music for the entry?
Yes. You must create sheet music to be sent to the organization.
The video can be made on a Smartphone, Tablet or digital camera. It does not have to be of professional quality.
You must then upload the video to YouTube. It is the responsibility of the participant to create the sheet music and upload the video.
10. Why “Carmen?”
The competition organizers have selected the opera “Carmen” by Bizet, to coincide with the exhibition that will take place in 2015/2016 on the myth and the opera, “Carmen.” The SGAE Foundation along with other institutions will determine if any of these works will appear in the exhibition. The competition will serve as a bridge to the creation of music on a basic education level and as vocational training.
11. How many schools and students will be involved?
This is the fourth year of the competition statewide. Any student or group of students from any educational institution (school, conservatory, cultural center, etc.) in Spain can participate (see age limit in each category).
This year the contest will take place on both a national and international level. We will be reserving spots in the competition for participants from countries outside of Spain. Over 1,000 students and 50 schools are expected to participate.
