Musical repertoires to be used in the educational-training path

As previously written, in a first phase beginners use a repertoire made up of reductions and transcriptions from the great classical and romantic repertoire, but also from the National popular and folkloric tradition and repertoire. The recognizability of what is played is of fundamental importance in this initial phase of study.

It is therefore desirable to choose scores of famous music belonging to the shared musical tradition of the different countries. This will definitely contribute to the development of the passion linked to playing an instrument and playing - and/or singing - together.

This refers to both orchestral and ensemble music experiences.

The results of combining ensemble practice with individual study, spurred by the desire to play, together with others, the music they know and love, are truly surprising.

Gradually, with the refinement of instrumental skills and musical knowledge, we move on to tackling original repertoires, without the need to use reductions or transcriptions of any kind.

In this delicate phase, the use of scores from the great Italian baroque and classical repertoire allows a gradual and pleasant entry "into the world of the adults". Most of this repertoire does not require great instrumental virtuosity, but still a strong attention to detail, intonation, rhythm and style. Composers such as Vivaldi, Corelli, but also such as Boccherini and many others less well-known provide an almost infinite quantity of music that can be used in this intermediate range of musical and instrumental knowledge.
Most of this music has strong references to national, Italian and other countries' popular and folkloric traditions.

Making the objective of so much work recognizable through the choice of repertoires inspired by different national musical traditions can become a turning point in the musical and cultural growth of young people and their families.
