Interaction affordances in traditional instruments and tablet computers: A study of children’s musical group creativity
2019
In order to promote children’s collaborative musical creativity in new digital environments, we need a better understanding not only of the sound production capabilities provided by the new digital tools, but also of the interaction affordances involved. This study focuses on the interactional patterns emerging in children’s musical creativity, comparing creative group processes on iPad tablet computers (with GarageBand software) to processes on traditional musical instruments. Both instrumentations were assigned to five groups of four 10–12-year-olds for creating sound landscapes for a “space” movie. The traditional instrument groups’ processes were characterized by peer teaching as well …
«Ad serviendum in cantari di musica et sunari di tasto»: contesti e modalità di formazione musicale a Palermo in età moderna
2022
Il saggio discute alcune delle modalità di formazione musicale diffuse a Palermo nel periodo del viceregno spagnolo, dai primi anni del Cinquecento sino alla prima metà del Settecento. Considerando l'arco temporale, si propone una panoramica generale delle occasioni, dei contesti e dei luoghi nei quali a Palermo si potevano apprendere nozioni di natura musicale. Infatti, anche in seguito alla fondazione nel 1617 del Conservatorio per i “figlioli dispersi”, dove circa un secolo dopo veniva introdotto ufficialmente l’insegnamento della musica, molti altri sistemi continuarono a esercitare la loro attività di formazione, conservando un’innegabile vitalità. È a queste realtà che si rivolgerà la…
Developing creativity through ICT and Music Teachers’ Training: a biographical experience
2021
O texto faz parte de uma investigação qualitativa biográfico-narrativa que temos em curso, e que se processa mediante a obtenção de testemunhos de professores e investigadores que formam professores com o auxílio das TIC de modo a promover as competências de criatividade, colaboração, cooperação e comunicação, entendidas como essenciais para o desenvolvimento de uma educação integral, promotora da sustentabilidade curricular e da cidadania participativa. Neste artigo, damos conta da experiência de uma professora e investigadora, Cristina Arriaga Sanz, que se dedica à formação de professores no âmbito da Educação Musical no ensino superior espanhol, de que salientaremos a relação estreita co…
Naturalistic music and dance: Cortical phase synchrony in musicians and dancers
2018
Expertise in music has been investigated for decades and the results have been applied not only in composition, performance and music education, but also in understanding brain plasticity in a larger context. Several studies have revealed a strong connection between auditory and motor processes and listening to and performing music, and music imagination. Recently, as a logical next step in music and movement, the cognitive and affective neuro-sciences have been directed towards expertise in dance. To understand the versatile and overlapping processes during artistic stimuli, such as music and dance, it is necessary to study them with continuous naturalistic stimuli. Thus, we used long exce…
Improving the representational strategies of children in a music-listening and playing task: An intervention-based study
2015
This intervention-based study focuses on the relation between music and its graphic representation from a meta-representational point of view. It aims to determine whether middle school students show an increase in meta-representational competence (MRC) after an educational intervention. Three classes of 11 to 14-year-old students participated in the teaching experiment: one experimental class (E) and two control classes (C). An intervention on MRC was carried out on the E class during the hours that were allocated for the regular music lessons, while students from the C classes followed the regular music curriculum. E and C classes were given the same pretest and posttest, which measured …
The role of music in the development of children with Down syndrome: a systematic review
2020
Music is commonly used in special education to achieve developmental and therapeutic aims, often in people with special needs. The present article conducts a systematic review of results from previous studies that explore the role of music in the development of children with Down syndrome (DS). It analyses a sample of 19 articles, in English and Spanish, from several databases (ERIC, Scopus, SciELO, Dialnet, Web of Science, CSIC and Pubmed). The results show that music has positive effects in the treatment and progress of the four main areas of development (social-emotional, motor, cognitive and communication) in children with DS. Nevertheless, the review reveals a lack of detail in the met…
Reading ahead: Adult music students’ eye movements in temporally controlled performances of a children’s song
2014
In the present study, education majors minoring in music education ( n = 24) and music performance majors ( n =14) read and performed the original version and melodically altered versions of a simple melody in a given tempo. Eye movements during music reading and piano performances were recorded. Errorless trials were analyzed to explore the adjustments of visual processing in successful performances. The temporal length of the eye–hand span (time between gaze and the performed note) was typically around one second or less. A measure of gaze activity indicated that performers generally inspected two quarter-note areas between two metrical beat onsets. The performance majors operated with s…
La creazione del Conservatorio di Palermo tra Sei e Settecento
2022
Questo contributo ripercorre alcune delle tappe più significative della vita del conservatorio di Palermo tra Sei e Settecento a partire da due momenti fondativi: il primo è la creazione dell'istituzione nel 1617 col nome di “Conservatorio dei dispersi”; il secondo la trasformazione in conservatorio di musica vero e proprio nel 1747, sotto il titolo del “Buon Pastore”. In particolare verranno tratteggiate le figure dei due viceré responsabili di questi eventi, Francisco Ruiz conte di Castro e Bartolomeo Corsini. Inoltre si esaminerano i "capitoli" (regolamenti) emanati tra Sei e Settecento con particolare riferimento alle notizie sull'attività musicale. This essay traces some of the most si…
