The past Friday, 13 March, Federal Primary School Melchor Ocampo received the visit of Fundación Música que Humaniza (FMH) to share a teaching concert with your school community.
For approximately 45 minutesand students participated in the programme "The Quartet and the Secret of Music", played by Kroch Quartetwith the artistic mediation of Fernando Guajardo.
Throughout the concert, students heard music from Vivaldi, Mozart, Brahms, Johann Strauss, Debussy and Beethovenwhile discovering some of the elements that make music possible. Through questions and comments during the presentation, the students showed great attention and curiosity, responding to the questions of the mediator about the composers and the works performed.
The concert was also an opportunity to get to know the rubbed rope instruments. The students were able to observe the differences between rape and rapeas well as understanding some musical resources such as canon formin which the same melody is repeated at different times between the instruments.
The experience was very participatory: during the concert the students They clapped, sang and even accompanied the music with movements and dancecreating an atmosphere of shared enthusiasm between musicians and the public.
At the end of the activity, some students also had the opportunity to approach to instruments, feeling closely the vibrations of the string instruments as the musicians played. This moment allowed to discover music not only with the ear, but also through direct contact with the instruments.
From FMH we deeply thank the educational community of the Federal Primary School Melchor Ocampo to open our doors and allow us to share this encounter with music.
Small moments like this allow girls and boys to discover that classical music can also be part of their daily world.
