Abstract

This oral communication / practical application, is going to focus on ways of teaching that focus on enhancing communication and group bonding as a motivation for learning traditional music. Participants'/students' previous and newly acquired experiences become the bridges between the static and the living, the imaginary and the tangible, the past, the present and the future. The collaboration with the family, the narration and discovery of past and new experiences, improvisation and spontaneity , collective creation are some of the ways of cultivating the sense of belonging and shaping the student's cultural identity.

 

Through good practices aimed at strengthening group bonds, making sense of teaching and making meaning and understanding of the elements of music, students are expected to be able not only to understand traditional music, but also to discover learning motivation, personal ways of expression and ultimately to form their own unique approach to it.

 

The core of traditional music is oral. That is why it is itself based on communication and a sense of community. Traditional music expresses both the collective and the personal aesthetic and approach of the artist. The strengthening of group bonds, the connection between the individual and the collective, and the recognition of common paths and ways are the main recommendations for the development of the individual and the collective.
