Work Process

• This project will last one school year (2015-2016).

• Partners will try to meet in videoconference as often and as soon as possible.

• Teachers will prepare some icebreaking activities.

• In a sort of a dice game, each country (team) will produce and share simple melodies in the TUNE FACTORY created on TwinSpace.

• The melodies in the Tune Factory can be continued, orchestrated, modified and played by all members of the project.

• Other videoconferences can be schedule to decide several musical aspects that will help the musical composition of the pupils.

• Videoconferences can also be the place for the teams to play their work - live!

• All the ‘eTunes’ (the final work of each group of students) must be recorded and/or filmed and uploaded into the ‘eTUNES’ CHANNEL.

• Partners should take photos of the entire process so it can be seen by the other project members.

 

Expected results

A fantastic ‘eTUNES’ channel! :)
