3rd AQUÍ TAMÉN SE FALA MUSIC FESTIVAL, TODAY

 What was born in a state secondary school in Coruña... is already a phenomenon that crosses borders: the #AquíTaménSeFala Festival celebrates its 3rd edition today Friday, 12th June at the Tolerance Square and gives its international jump featuring Carolina Deslandes, one of the most important musical artists from Portugal.

Apart from her, three other from the Galician scene: Apolo 18, Kid Mount & De Ningures.

But this is much more than music... not only because it's the only professional festival in Europe organized by a secondary school, but also ATSF is the largest lingustic revitalization movement in the country, actively carried out by more than 25.000 teenagers.

DIFFERENT MUSIC GENRES

There are many different kinds of music. Above you have the name to many of them. Do you know an example of all of them? They are the different music genres.

Here's a basic chart which summarises the important ones:

(Taken from "A Sound of Sounds" Music)

- VOCAL MUSIC: music created for the human voice without any musical instrument.

- INSTRUMENTAL: music played only with instruments.

- VOCAL-INSTRUMENTAL COMBINED: human voices and musical instruments together.

- RELIGIOUS: music composed and played in religious context. 

a) LITURGICAL for religious ceremonies (mass, liturgy...)

b) NON-LITURGICAL for religious purposes, but not ceremonies (Christmas Carols)

- PROFANE: music without any religious purpose, but for entertainment. In this group there are all the different kinds of POPULAR "POP" MUSIC.

- FUNCTIONAL: music for ceremonies, shows: hymns

- CINEMATOGRAPHIC: music in films

- THEATRE: music for stage plays used in operas, zarzuelas, musicals, ballet...

- PUBLICITY: music for radio and TV ads to promote products.

Here's another chart with a wider view of different musical genres:

TYPES OF INSTRUMENTS: PERCUSSION (&3)

The last group of instruments is:
3- PERCUSSION

They are musical instruments that sound either by 
- being hit with sticks, mallets, brushes or rods 

or struck, shaken or rubbed by hand

or clashing against another similar instrument

TYPES OF INSTRUMENTS: WIND (2)

2- WIND INSTRUMENTS
The sound in these instruments is produced by air passing through a tube.

There are two kind of wind instruments which depends on what they are made of:

a) WOODWIND 
This group of wind instruments are almost always made of wood and are played using a wooden reed

like: the flute, the clarinet, the oboe,the bassoon, the saxophone, as seen below.

2- Brass

In this group is the horn, the tuba, the trumpet, the trombone, as seen above.This group of wind instruments are made of metal or brass and don't need a wooden reed, but a metalic mouthpiece.

TYPES OF INSTRUMENTS: STRINGS (1)

Remember the slide on a previous post: THE ORCHESTRA, where we can see the different types of instruments.

1- STRING INSTRUMENTS: 
The sound in these instruments is produced by the vibrating of their strings.

These instruments are subdivided into:

a) BOWED STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, 
which are played rubbing the strings with a BOW

and in this group we find:

(The difference between bowed stringed and plucked stringed instruments below ↓)

b) PLUCKED STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, (see some above ↑)
which are played plucking the strings with fingers:

or with a plectrum:

in this group we find, among others:

c) STRUCK STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, 
played by small hammers striking the strings:

 in the piano:

BASIC MUSICAL CONCEPTS

Let's learn the names of the people who play different instruments. Here are some exercises to practice.

"THE ORCHESTRA"

We're including today a project work done by 2nd ESO-year students in the subject of MUSIC in English about the composition of an orchestra and all its different instruments.

DO YOU PLAY ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT?

Here's a list of vocabulary of musical instruments. Students of 1st ESO can choose which one they want to do their individual project about. Be original!
