Work process

Development

This project will last one school year (2014-2015).

Partners will try to meet for the first time in a videoconference as soon as possible after the beginning of the school year.

Teachers will prepare some icebreaking activities.

In a sort of dice game, each country (team) will produce and share simple melodies on a Tune Factory created on TwinSpace.

Other videoconferences will be scheduled to decide several musical aspects that will help pupils’ work (musical composition).

Videoconferences may also be used by the teams to present (play) their work - live!

Melodies in the Tune Factory can be continued, transformed, orchestrated and played by all members of the project.

All melodies should be recorded and published online.

A website can be created to showcase our work, if agreed.

 

Expected results

A fabulous ‘eTunes’ channel!
