Carlos Gomes Foundation conducts academic activities in municipalities of the State
Nearly 200 music students participated in activities marking the conclusion of the first academic semester of the project’s interiorization hubs
In July, the students of the Carlos Gomes Foundation's Interiorization Project held special presentations in the municipalities of Ponta de Pedras and Marabá, marking the end of teaching activities for the first semester of the year. In addition to the conclusion of the semester in the participating municipalities' hubs, a band practice workshop was also held in the city of Acará.
Classes – The interiorization project carried out by the Carlos Gomes Foundation is aimed at musical education for children, youth, and professional musicians from bands in the municipalities of the State's interior. This July, the pedagogical activities of the Marajó hubs – Ponta de Pedras and the Marabá hub concluded with recitals, thus finishing the music activities of the first semester. According to teacher Mikaely Lima, "this semester, the students learned the first notes on the recorder, with an introduction to basic theoretical music topics such as the pre-visibility of reading sheet music."
"In the second half of the year, we will continue with the technical music studies, deepening practical and theoretical teaching, and we will also open new classes for students, with dates to be defined," says Mikaely, teacher of the first recorder class at the Marabá hub.
The conclusion of the first academic semester is of great importance for students and teachers, as it is when the classes can present the work they have been developing in music education classes, such as knowledge of musical notes, reading sheet music, choral singing, among other learnings aimed at musical education.
Alexandra Martins, director of interiorization at FCG, explains that, "the end of classes at the hubs is anticipated by everyone, as we can see the materialization of the musical education that our institution provides for the children served in the municipalities where we work."
"From the free music education classes (choral singing, recorder, and guitar), specific knowledge of musical literacy is taught, necessary for students to continue in music in the future," emphasizes Alexandra.
Currently, FCG offers regular music education classes in the municipalities of Marabá and Castanhal, and in the Marajó archipelago, which are divided into conducting workshops and training in the integration regions of Pará. In July, 35 students from Ponta de Pedras and 16 from the Marabá class held the semester concluding recital. In addition to these, 88 students from the Castanhal hub classes also completed their music studies for the first part of the year in May.
Interaction – In addition to the hubs' headquarters, the Carlos Gomes Foundation also promoted, at the beginning of July, the band practice workshop taught by trombone professor Denison Pastana, who is part of the teaching staff of the Carlos Gomes State Institute. "During the event, I taught the students about essential points of symphonic groups such as: structure and assembly of music bands, rehearsal dynamics (individual and by section), as well as knowledge about repertoire and study routines," comments Professor Denison.
"We had 60 participants from the municipalities of Acará and other locations, the event was a success and had the partnership of the Caminhos do Alvorecer Institute and the Acará city hall," informs Professor Denison. The Carlos Gomes Foundation's interiorization project carries out different actions aimed at music such as workshops with conductors and musicians from bands, regular music education classes at the peace factories, presentations, and masterclasses with teachers from the Carlos Gomes State Institute.
