Taller de Guitarra, Canto y Teatro Musical de 3º de ESO y Música de 4ºESO

 En esta entrada pondremos los proyectos más significativos del curso de estas dos asignaturas optativas del departamento de Música. 

Comenzaron Charlie y David ( alumnos de Música de 4º de ESO)  ensayando en el plató para sonorizar la pieza que van a interpretar en el concierto de Navidad, proyecto de los alumnos del Ciclo Superior de Sonido. 

Ziqi hizo este dibujo tan precioso de la experiencia en el plató. 

El día 11 de noviembre un grupo de alumnos de "Taller de guitarra, Canto y Teatro Musical" tuvo un primer contacto con los alumnos del Ciclo de Sonido para preparar el Concierto de Navidad que se retransmitirá en streaming en fechas navideñas. Nos habíamos convertido en un grupo pop y habíamos preparado Zombie, de The Cramberries.

Maksim también había preparado una pieza para guitarra en solitario. 

El grupo de alumnos pudo ver de cerca la mesa de sonorización de los técnicos, una batería completa, el bajo de Celia y sorprenderse con todos los medios del plató de nuestro instituto, su amplitud, lo grande y numerosos que son los focos, la pantalla verde para hacer montajes y la cantidad de altavoces y monitores que tiene.

3er trimestre. Clases de guitarra. 

Durante la mayor parte del trimestre estuvimos tocando canciones con guitarra y carillones en clase por lo que cogimos bastante práctica acompañando con acordes. 

En mayo nos visitó Isabel Buitrago para hacer sus prácticas del Máster de Secundaria y nos dio unas clases de guitarra clásica.

Renaissance period

We worked this period playing and studying all the main aspects of this period.
Have a look to this page in this blog.
Renaissance materials
One of the main projects to learn about the composers and Renaissance pieces of music was AUDACITY PROJECT.
You can listen to the best productions ( called "mini podcasts) in this link.

I want to illustrate this period with a picture of Maddalena Casulana, one of the most important female composers and virtuoso lute player of the Renaissance.





Do you want to create a nice podcast about Renaisance music?
Here you are a text created by Juan Amador.

Welcome to the Renaissance Kitchen!

Hello, everyone! Today, we’re cooking up something special: Renaissance music!

Imagine a delicious recipe where we mix rich harmonies, add a pinch of complex vocal textures, and season it with some amazing polyphony.

This period, between the 15th and 16th centuries, was like a revolution in the kitchen of music: new ingredients, new techniques, and, of course, new flavors for the ears!


During this time, the madrigal became a favorite dish in Italy and across Europe: like a musical pizza, full of emotions and flavors! It was a secular vocal piece, meaning it wasn’t religious, and composers used it to express deep feelings, from love to sadness, just like a perfect blend of sweet and spicy.

But let’s not forget sacred music, where the Mass and the Motet brought depth and clarity, just like a perfect soup for the soul. Composers like Palestrina, Tomás Luis de Victoria, and Josquin des Prez mastered the art of balancing voices, making sure every note blended smoothly: like the perfect seasoning in a gourmet dish.

We can add a Spanish Ensalada, a typical form in which many ingredients are mixed, different languages, rhythms, topics in a fresh atmosphere.

For a dessert, the simple villancico, a delicious and even fun piece of music as a sweet cake always welcome after a good meal.

And if we want to finish our great meal dancing as if it were a wedding or a big party, you can find branles, pavanes, galliards and jigs until dawn.


Renaissance music? A five-star dish in the history of sound! It was the perfect combination of tradition and innovation, creating melodies that still inspire musicians today.

So, if music were food, the Renaissance would definitely be a feast fit for a king.

And that’s it, chefs of music! Renaissance music was like a perfect recipe, full of harmony, creativity, and passion.
I hope you enjoyed this little taste of history. Now, go out there and keep discovering the amazing flavors of music!

See you next time in the kitchen of sound. Bon appétit!

Curso 2024-2025. 1º de ESO

 Welcome to a new year in Moñino School.

We sang "Do, re, mi" from the famous film "The sound of music". 

"Do, re, mi" in "The sound of music"

We reviewed the names of the notes with an exercise and studied what musical character is. 

THE CHARACTER OF MUSIC

We described "We will rock you" as powerful, catchy, rhytmic, energetic, lively, optimistic, compelling, arousing, surging, passionate,perhaps aggressive. 

We played and sang more instrumental pieces of music with our recorders and glockenspiels.
