Four days of intense theoretical and practical pedagogical activity with Franca Bertoli and Ugo Cividino, vice-president of the International Federation of Willems® Music Education. There will be space for specific interventions by other illustrious collaborators.

Some contents
Presentation and in-depth study of the pedagogical itinerary of music education according to the thinking of Edgar Willems in its various aspects closely linked to the stages of the child’s development.
During the four days of the seminar there will be practical lessons with groups of students from different educational backgrounds who will comment on the different moments of the “Willemsian lesson”, deepening the practical pedagogical approach used, always aiming to highlight the quality of the educational message enriched with a strong motivational impact.
A special section will be devoted to the relationship between the nursery school and the musical education of the youngest children; from the very youngest children in the primary school, to the instrumental approach and its pedagogical problems.
In order to highlight, moreover, how Edgar Willems conceived his own educational methodology far beyond the fascinating precocity of the initiation to the musical language in early childhood, the most important stages of general instrumental propaedeutics (instrumental initiation) will be highlighted in support of the complex educational itinerary that must necessarily accompany and guide the progressive growth of the future professional musician and instrumentalist.
