Teaching Methodologies

Musical Expression classes are conducted in theoretical-practical sessions. Through a survey of the musical expression of students, their tastes and levels of musical training, as well as the assessment of needs relating to work conditions, project-based instructional practice will be directed mainly towards the organization of musical experiences for children.
The different instructional activities will be accompanied by theoretical and critical reflections in order to support and integrate the options made in the context of teaching practice.
Summative assessment of student performance is based on the following:
1- Participation and degree of involvement in the various activities (10% of the final mark);
2- Collection and presentation of rhymes and songs (30% of the final mark),
3- Attendance (25% of the final mark)
4- Group work (35% of the final mark).
