About the proyect
Music is a wonderful tool for the development of values and educational competences. Music bands of schools themselves or those that collaborate with them have been able to complement the formal education of students in the musical field (and in transversal competences) with an appealing, dynamic and fun non-formal education that thrills students.
The appearance of COVID-19 seriously endangered the survival of these bands (both of the schools themselves and those that work with them) and the learning they provide, but from a moment of pessimism, a new methodology emerged to overcome this crisis and establish the foundations of musical learning in the future: virtual musical learning; a learning that combines traditional sessions with virtual rehearsals and distance music education.
