The past 27 November, the Humberto Buentello Chapa Technical High School was visited by Toxic Brass Quintet of Metalsaccompanied by Fernando Guajardo as a musical mediator, in a didactic concert organized by Música que Humaniza.
For approximately 40 minutes, students and students participated in an interactive musical experience that combined the interpretation of classical repertoire works with accessible explanations and activities designed to encourage active listening.
The program included works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Georges Bizet and Jacques Offenbach, presented in metal quintet arrangements. Far from being a passive listening, each piece became a starting point for public participation.
With the Small leak in smaller sun of Bach, the student was invited to identify how many times the main theme appeared, which allowed the concept of repetition and musical structure to be clearly introduced. In case of Eine kleine Nachtmusik of Mozart, the meaning of the title was explained and the students uttered it aloud, connecting the music with its historical and linguistic context.
The interaction continued with the Turkish March of Beethoven, where the mediator explained the compass 2/4, writing it on the blackboard and guiding the public to mark the rhythmic accents with palms while the quintet played the work. Later, with the The bull's chorus from Bizet, students sang the main theme using an improvised letter, actively integrating into music.
The concert concluded with the famous Can- can de Offenbach, closing the program with a work full of energy that caused smiles and enthusiasm among the public.
The student's response was very positive, maintaining attention and participation throughout the concert. The teaching staff also showed great interest; one of the teachers shared at the end that he had visited the place where Johann Sebastian Bach's grave is located and that, when he heard the Small leak, the music transported him to that moment of his experience traveling abroad.
At the end of the event, several students approached to take photographs with the musicians, reflecting the impact and closeness of the activity.
This visit reaffirms the commitment of Music that Humanizes to bring significant musical experiences to schools, bringing the classic repertoire closer to new generations through dialogue, participation and active listening.
