INTRODUCTION
The International Willems® Federation is organising a course on the pedagogical principles of Edgar Willems from 20 to 25 July 2021 in Lyon:
For the INITIATION / to musicians, students, teachers, educators, professionals of the early childhood, musical speakers in various contexts – school, hospital, prison… – as well as to simple music lovers.
This course will provide tools for expansion in musical practice as well as in professional activity on a physical, affective and cognitive level.
The Willems® approach is based on the psychological relationships between music, the human being and the surrounding world, and proposes a progression that is directly inspired by and respects them.
It is an active musical education that calls upon receptivity, impregnation, reproduction, but also upon the expression of the being and its inventiveness.
For TRAINING / participants following the Willems® Pedagogical Diploma in Music Education training course.
For ADVANCED TRAINING / for people who have already completed a Willems® Diploma course and wish to continue their training and update their knowledge.
PROGRAMME & OBJECTIVES
PRACTICAL LESSONS
The Willems® pedagogy covers a very broad spectrum of musical education, from early childhood to musical training (solfege), vocal and instrumental. During these lessons, the aim will be to go through the main lines of the Willems® progression, to describe its characteristics and to explore the creative nuances of concrete achievements: observation, debate, pedagogical practice.
– Please note! The number of trainees will be limited to the capacity of the two rooms (Institution des Chartreux and Maison St Irénée). Registrations will be made according to the remaining places and the date of registration. If the chosen ″Practical Lessons″group is already full, it will be automatically redirected to the other group.
– The practical lessons at the Institution des Chartreux are recommended for Initiation trainees and the practical lessons at the Maison St Irénée are recommended for Training and Advanced trainees.
