Queste sono alcune delle domande che i ragazzi della classe III A del Liceo Musicale MIBE hanno manifestato
all’inizio di quest’anno scolastico.
Questo lavoro è nato per necessità, per rispondere al bisogno impellente di colmare il gap esistente nella studio
della lingua Inglese per i Liceo Musicali poiché, diversamente dagli altri indirizzi, non vi sono testi adeguati per
l’apprendimento della micro lingua.
La musica per gli studenti di questo liceo è parte integrante della loro vita, riempie le loro giornate,
accompagna tutto ciò che fanno e assume un significato di profondità ineguagliabile. La musica è il linguaggio
dell’anima e come tale anche l’insegnamento della lingua inglese non poteva passare se non attraverso di essa.
Perché non tentare di conciliare l’utilità dello studio della lingua con l’emozione della musica?
Le specificità del liceo musicale e dei suoi studenti sono la fantasia, creatività, flessibilità, capacità relazionali
e comunicative non comuni. Il patrimonio musicale e lo studio della musica si impone quindi come obiettivo
imprescindibile, da conciliare con quella cultura ad amplio spettro e con i saperi tipici di un percorso liceale e
quindi anche dell’Inglese.
Tutto il materiale elaborato, le slide preparate sono frutto di una ricerca condotta all’interno della classe
terza del Liceo Musicale. Tutti gli alunni si sono impegnati e hanno lavorato in gruppo per la stesura di questo
lavoro. Si tratta di un primo prodotto che ci auguriamo costituisca la base sulla quale costruire ulteriori
apprendimenti in linea con i principi del lifelong learning e con le eight key competencies richieste da Europa
2020.
Ringraziamo quanti vorranno contribuire con ulteriori materiali e suggerimenti.

Staff
Staff or stave: music is written on a set of five
horizontal lines. You read the notes from left to
right. As the notes go up towards the topo of the
staff their pitch gets higher.
Staff
A short note
added
above or
below the
range of a
staff

The pitch of the notes on a staff depends on a sign called a clef.
One type of a clef, the treble clef, curls around the second steff
line up. A note on this line is G. The distance from a note to the
next note is called an octave.
Middle C: is the name of the note C
which is written on a ledger line
just below the staff in the treble
clef. On the piano keyboard, Middle
C is the note nearest to the middle
of the keyboard.
The bass clef has a dot on either
side of the second staff line down.
A note on this line is called F.
Other Clefs
The bass clef is used by
instruments such as the
cello, basson, tuba, and
by bass singers. It is
usually used for music to
be played with the left
hand on the piano.
The alto clef is used by
the viola. The tenor clef is
sometimes used by the
cello and basson for
notes which would need
a lot of ledger lines on
the bass clef. This means
the clef may change
during a piece.
The Alto clef is
centred on the
middle line of
the staff. A
note on this
line is called
Middle C.
These notes have exactly
the same pitch.
Changing a clef
Sometimes it is useful to rewrite music in another clef, perhaps so
you can play it on a different instrument. To do this you need to
know the names of the notes in each clef, and where the Middle C
is.

THE STRINGS
The Strings, also called bowed instruments, are composed
by different parts such as :
- a soundboard;
- two F holes;
- a fingerboard;
- a tailpiece;
- a bridge;
- a scroll;
- the tuning pegs;
- a bow;
The sound come from the vibration of the strings. There
are TWO TECHNIQUES to play them:
- pizzicato, which consists of plucking the strings;
-bowed, which consists of rubbing the horsehair of the
bow on the strings;
FOUR MAIN INSTRUMENTS belong to this family: Violin,
Viola, Cello and Doublebass.
Liceo Artistico Musicale Coreutico «Misticoni-Bellisario» Pescara
THE VIOLIN
Violin is made of four strings which
are G,D,A and E. It is the smallest
instrument in the family and it is the
sharpest. Violin uses treble clef which
suits commonly high notes. The most
famous violinist was Niccolò Paganini,
born in Genova in 1840 and the most
important lutists were Stradivari,
Guarneri and Guadagnini.
Violin derives from the viola of XVI
century, which was divided in 2 types:
Alto and Tenor. The first modenr
shaped violins were born in the
Northern Italy in XVIII century with
Andrea
Amati and Gasparo Da Salò.

THE CELLO
Cello is composed of the same
strings of the viola but an octave
below. Cello use bass clef which
is used for low notes. It derives
from viola, which was played on
the shoulder. Subsequently
liutists experienced the creation
of an instrument played
between legs. In 1750 cello took
the modern shape with Antonio
Stradivari.

THE DOUBLEBASS
Doublebass is the bigger
instrument in Strings and it is
composed of four strings which
are E,A,D and G but it can have a
fifth string which is B which is
low. It derives from viola, like all
bowed instruments and, at the
beginning, it had the role of
doubling the bass, but
subsequently it took his role:
accompagnment.

The Drums
The drum is a percussion instrument composed by drums
and cymbals. The standard drum in composed by a snare,
two toms, a floor tom, a bass drum, and 3 cymbals: a
charleston (or hi-hat), a ride and a crash. Usually the
drummers enrich her with other pieces. She can be eriche

with other toms, other floor toms, an other bass drum, other
types of cymbals (splash or china) or many types of
percussions (as cowbell, woodblocks, tambourine, etc.).
This instrument is played by the sticks, except the bass drum
and the charleston, which are played by feet through the
pedals.
Liceo Artistico Musicale Coreutico «Misticoni-Bellisario» Pescara
The sound of drums is produces by the skins, and it can be changed by the
disposition of them: if the skins are more outstreched the sound will be more
shrill, and if the skins are less outstreched the sound will be more deep. The
sound can be also changed by the length of the drums' stem.
The drum is a modern instrument: she was invented in the second half of XIX
century in the United States. The drum was born when the bands who played
in New Orleans merged the bass drum with the snare, and then they added
the cymbals too. Her success grew around 1920 through jazz music and
popular music.
In the course of the XX century the Drum has been used in all musical
generes, including rock, pop, blues, etc. She assumed much importance at
the end of '60 years with the progressive rock and hard rock.

In the passed years there was
been many drummers who
have marked all the music
history: as Phil Collins (1951),
Manu Katchè (1958), John
Bonham (1948 – 1980), Jeff
Porcaro (1954 – 1992) and
Marco Minnemann (1970).

HISTORY OF CELTIC MUSIC
by Ilaria Nallira
Celtic music is defined as music that originates from the countries of
Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The people who live in these locations are
known as Celts, which is how the music became known as Celtic music.
Celtic music is best described as a type of folk music with a distinctive
music and lyrics. And, today Celtic music is played and heard not only in
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, but also on a worldwide stage.
Celtic music can be defined also as music of the Celt people and has been
around for several centuries. Some of the common instruments heard in
Celtic music include violin, lute, flute, bagpipe, hard and several other
commonly heard instruments. While Celtic music covers various types of
music, it is popular for dancing as well as having music sung as a ballad.
Celtic music tends to be as varied as a rousing dance tune or as tender as
a song about a mother’s love.
While Celtic music has been traced back to the 1600's, it is still one of the
world's most popular musical genres. Musicians such as Clannad, Enya,
The Chieftains and The Corrs are some of the more famous Celtic
musicians of the day.
