This workshop showcases how 88-Keyboard China Concert Project designs an interactive concert-like music class to engage underserved students in rural areas of China to “bridge” the education gap. The goal is achieved through the live performance, enlightening students with cross-discipline academic pursuit, and immersing students in the music’s original culture. Through this experience, the students will be more engaged with academics and in touch with foreign cultures. The development of the methodology is grounded by Western pedagogy such as Orff, Dalcroze, Constructivism, and Holism, while embedding Chinese ancient poetry, local ethnic dancing and farming culture in the music context. At the 50min workshop, I plan to present two sample activities to demonstrate the class experience.Activity 1: Dancing riddle in Schumman’s Arabeske，Op.18 Age: 9-12Objectives: To learn musical expression through body movementTo build music pattern recognition and explicate logical structure with sensory integration associated with musical sectionsTo enhance creativity with meditation in music Design by step: Play three different music motifs and demonstrate the movements chosen from local ethnic dances and farming lives to match different motif (Motif A:Picking tea leaves, Motif B:Dancing in Sani-Tribe style, Motif C:Rowing in Yellow River); Familiarize the motif by randomly playing them in different order while students listen and move accordingly in a call-and-answer mode;Play the complete piece while students proactively listen and move based on the music change through sections (ABACA);Ask students to meditate during the Coda and share their imagination.Activity 2: Creative writing in Tchaikovsky’s Barcarolle (No.6 Juni)Age: 13-15Objectives:To learn the descriptive nature of musical narrativeTo reflect on how music expresses emotionTo explore creative writing through musical languageDesign by Step:Prepare students with the epigraph poem;Play the sections of the ABA structure and ask students to write the adjectives for each part;Compose a short poem/story based on the adjectives given by the students while playing Part A as an example (by teacher);Ask students to continue the story/poem while music goes to Part B; Add new elements to the story as the music goes back to Part A.The goals of the workshop are: First, broaden and deepen music education to involve cross-discipline and cross-cultural learning for the benefit of economically underserved areas; second, provide effective and reproducible examples and practices for concert musicians to assume a role as an educator.
