RISA Music Festival 2018

(english version below)

Cari Genitori,

Sono lieto di condividere con voi il resoconto del RISA Music Festival al quale abbiamo partecipato questo Mercoledì 11 Aprile con la classe Year 5.

Iniziamo dai numeri:
-233 studenti provenienti da 9 Scuole Internazionali di Roma hanno preso parte a questa fantastica iniziativa.
-13 Workshop basati sulla danza, sul ritmo, sulla voce e sugli strumenti musicali hanno coinvolto i bambini in una entusiasmante giornata di musica e divertimento.
-Centinaia di strumenti musicali che gli studenti hanno potuto suonare o ascoltare (Ukulele, Pianoforte, Tamburi Africani, Percussioni Latinoamericane).
-Tantissimi stili musicali tra cui Rock, Jazz, Flamenco, Rhumba, Salsa, Folk, Blues, Musica Classica.

Ogni studente ha avuto l’occasione di prendere parte a due workshop di un’ora e 15-20 partecipanti ciascuno, trovandosi così assieme ad altri piccoli musicisti di altre scuole guidati da diversi maestri di musica o danza.
Quest’anno in particolare mi ha colpito l’attenzione e la partecipazione degli studenti, soprattutto alla fine della mattinata, quando tutti riuniti nell’ auditorium della scuola hanno condiviso le loro esperienze con una performance di ogni workshop:
Tip Tap, Nicaraguan Folk Dance, African Drumming, Signing and Singing, Flamenco, Dance, Maori Stick Games, Rhumba, The Cup Song, Ukulele, Circle Singing, Rhythm Sticks, Your Voice.

E’ stato molto emozionante sentir tutti cantare e battere le mani a tempo, ed io personalmente sono stato molto felice di poter tenere il mio workshop e ricevere un feedback positivo da parte di tutti i partecipanti.

Cosa hanno imparato gli studenti durante questo Festival?
Credo che il messaggio più importante sia che la Musica si manifesta in tantissime forme ed espressioni. Non si tratta solo di saper ballare, suonare o cantare, ma anche di ascoltare, analizzare, osservare, lasciar spazio alle emozioni e alla felicità, imparare a memorizzare con la mente e con il corpo le parole, i numeri, i movimenti, i ritmi e le melodie e condividerli con altre persone per raggiungere un risultato positivo individualmente o in squadra.
Tutto questo si riassume semplicemente con 2 parole: Fare Musica.

Spero che tutti gli studenti della Year 5 conserveranno un bellissimo ricordo di questa giornata assieme!

************************************************
Dear Parents,

I’m very happy to share with you a report of the annual Risa Music Festival that was held in Ambrit School last Wednesday 11th of April.

Let’s start from the stats:
-233 students from 9 International Schools took part in this amazing experience.
-13 different Workshops about Dance, Rhythm, Voice and Music Instruments.
-Several types of music instruments, the students had a chance to play or listen to Ukulele, Piano, African and Latino-american Percussions.
-A great selection of music styles: Rock, Jazz, Flamenco, Rhumba, Salsa, Folk, Blues, Classic.
Each student took part in 2 different one hour-workshops, sharing the learning and the experience alongside 15-20 children from other schools. Each workshop was guided by a different music or dance teacher.

What really impressed me this year is the attention and the involvement of every pupil, especially in the end of the morning when they all shared their performances in the main auditorium of the school.
These were the workshops offered by the teachers:
Tip Tap, Nicaraguan Folk Dance, African Drumming, Signing and Singing, Flamenco, Dance, Maori Stick Games, Rhumba, The Cup Song, Ukulele, Circle Singing, Rhythm Sticks, Your Voice.
It was great to hear them singing and clapping to the rhythm their hands all together, and personally I was delighted to run my own workshop and to receive a positive feedback from all the participants.

What did students learn during this festival?
I believe that the main lesson was about Music’s endless ways of expression and shapes.
It’s not only a matter of singing, dancing or playing a specific instrument.
It is also about listening, observing, letting the positive emotions and happiness to develop, learning to memorise patterns using the body and the mind, exploring words, movements, numbers, rhythms and melodies. Finally it is about sharing something good with others in order to achieve a positive goal, both individually and as a team.
All of this can be resumed in three words: Play With Music.

I really hope that all of Year 5 Students will keep a good memory of this beautiful day!

Sincerely,

Davide Alivernini
Music Teacher
