Par VELILLA NATALIA. MUSIC and MÚSICA es una metodología que abarca los 6 cursos de Educación Musical de la etapa de Educación Primaria. Esta metodología nos presenta dos novedades fundamentales: 1. El tratamiento bilingüe de todo el material, lo que hace que la metodología pueda ser utilizada tanto por un profesor que quiera impartir el área de música en inglés, como por otro que la quiera impartir en español. Los libros de los alumnos ahora también están disponibles sólo en versión inglesa. 2. La audición activa y lúdica de piezas del repertorio clásico como eje alrededor del cual van a girar todas las actividades de cada Unidad Didáctica. De esta forma se da sentido musical y una visión global a los conceptos musicales que se trabajan. MUSIC and MÚSICA consta de 4 materiales fundamentales: - GUÍA DIDÁCTICA DEL PROFESOR y 2 CD Paso a paso, con ilustraciones y fotografías se explica toda la didáctica de esta metodología. El material se secuencia en Unidades Didácticas que abarcan un curso completo. En este curso se incluyen unidades para ser trabajadas en pizarra digital. En el CD se han grabado las audiciones, los cuentos en inglés y las canciones tanto en inglés como en español que se van a trabajar. Este sexto libro se compone de 8 Unidades Didácticas las cuales se articulan en una serie de rutinas que son a su vez, las que nos van a estructurar la sesión de música. Cada Unidad Didáctica se compone de 3 a 6 sesiones. En este nuevo curso las unidades están dedicadas a la historia de la música. A través de un cuento nos introduciremos en cada periodo de la historia y de forma secuencial haremos un recorrido desde la Alta Edad Media hasta el siglo XXI. Se trata de una introducción muy básica a la historia de la música, unas pequeñas pinceladas para ubicar en el tiempo a los diferentes compositores que hemos ido tratando a lo largo de estos cursos, conocer el origen de nuestra música actual y cómo hemos llegado a ella. A través de las canciones y danzas, seguiremos avanzando en el aprendizaje de diversos conceptos del lenguaje musical y los diferentes estilos musicales de cada época. - MATERIAL SIN ENCUADERNAR DE LA GUÍA DIDÁCTICA DEL PROFESOR Este conjunto se incluye dentro de la guía didáctica. Aquí se recoge todo el material extra necesario para desarrollar las actividades: Ilustraciones a color de los cuentos, fotografías de los músicos que se van a trabajar, partituras de grafía no convencional y convencional, ilustraciones de las palabras clave... - LIBRO DEL ALUMNO DVD Es un compendio de fichas evaluativas de los diferentes conceptos que se trabajan. Cada unidad didáctica comprende entre 4 y 5 fichas a través de las cuales el profesor comprobará si el alumno ha asimilado o no los conceptos planteados y por otro lado el niño plasmará gráficamente lo que previamente ha experimentado de forma activa. En el DVD se han grabado las canciones en inglés o en español así como un montaje de vídeo con las ilustraciones de los cuentos, las audiciones y la narración en inglés o en español, según sea la versión consultada. - FLASHCARDS SONORAS CD Las Flashcards sonoras se publican separadamente, pero son un material fundamental para trabajar a diario en las sesiones de música. Las Flashcards sonoras comprenden una serie de tarjetas divididas en series y acompañadas de un CD donde se presenta de una forma sencilla y amena los conceptos básicos del lenguaje musical./ Méthode / Piano
