La musica esperienza d'inclusione per studenti universitari : costruzione di uno strumento musicale condiviso

2018 - Franco Angeli

79-91 p.

  • Can music be understood as an inclusive language? Moreover, considering the sudden rhythms of social and economic changes, it is necessary to provide university students with a set of skills and methods that can be applied to the continuous changing situations and variable contexts. In relation to this, the opportunities offered by the pedagogical approach of Service Learning applied to music are important. Focus of the experience is the bridge between the world of special pedagogy with that of music, creatively endured by a group of ten university students, attending various courses at University "Aldo Moro" of Bari who took part in a 40-hour workshop concerning the design and construction of a collective musical instrument.
  • It was a matter of conceiving and constructively constructing a non-existent musical instrument through the creation of a group that mutually assign roles and tasks even at a distance and through the use of a designed, built and dedicated e-learning platform where "the builders" are self-assessed and corrected. This is meant to collectively seek a solution to respond to the need to transform a meaningful movement into a meaningful vibration. It turned out to be an active process of negotiation of meanings, aimed at the genesis of a new technique for the potential of music, during a training experience such as the university one.
