Centro Studi Musica & Arte

Project of the Theatre of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino 
in collaboration with the Centro Studi Musica & Arte
  

How can parents bring  the fundamental aspects of e.g. Verdi's Aida to their young children  
in the operahouse?

"Don't them let creeping and crawling onto the velvet chairs near their proud parents 
to interrupt the full opera performance after a time of patience.
Please, don't tell children the entire story  or all associations and intrigues in the piece. 
Keep them apart from the real performance for adults. 
Let children understand and enjoy the basical human aspects of the casting only by playing 
and experiencing within the group while they listen to the main music themes," says 
Fiorella Cappelli who searched and found a formula working succesfully with the children 
in the operahouse of Florence.

At the  ESCOM (European Society for the Cognitive  Sciences of Music) Conference  
(Liège 5-8 April 2002)  the Florence's CENTRO STUDI MUSICA & ARTE introduced  
some novel and innovative  projects for alternative music education. 
The "Ludoteca  Musicale"    is  a project  of this Centre  of Study 
in Music and Arts designed and directed by Fiorella Cappelli  and Stefania Di Blasio.  
This  plays ( (Via Pandolfini, 18, Florence, Italy) is an active  sound paradise 
(with 3 levels, from age 0 to 11) full of multi-sensorial interaction  
between children  and a powerful  exploration on sound objects,  sound machines,
ethnic instruments,  and last but not least a selection of educational  
music computer programs (Jungles, Sound Puzzle, Metasynth, Melody Mixup, 
Midisaurus Rhythm, etc.) in the "Laboratorio Musicale di Informatica".

CENTRO TEMPO REALE

New computer tools for interactive music education

 

Inspired indirectly by Ircam (Paris) and the GRM (Bourges), remembering the french mouvement "Eveil musical", 
and based on the actual power of computer programming with music software  MAX (for Macintosh computers), 
the team of TEMPO REALE (Florence, Italy) developes  an original and useful set of high-tech music programs 
(e.g. Megomax). On an active and modern  way, we learn children and young people  to  detect sound structures, 
to produce and perform personal music with pleasure, and without stress. 
The users manipulate waves / samples on a very intuitive and easy way,  to create new personal 
sound universes by editing and learning all structural aspects and parameters (pitch, duration, timbre,  texture, 
styles, sequences, etc.) on a progressive way. 
Jacobo Baboni-Schilingi : " We constantly  update our tools  from the practise on schools. 
We need feedback of all participants to release and distribute real and interactive tools. 
Originally, Tempo Reale is a non-profit organisation  started by Luciano Berio  who claims to actualize and democratize 
activities and musical development for all."
