Propuesta pedagógica para los procesos de iniciación de la enseñanza de la viola aplicada en los grados 6, 7 y 8 de violas del Colegio distrital San Carlos sede B

Abstract

The graduation paper “Pedagogical proposal for viola beginners- Groups 6-7-8 at San Carlos School”, was developed at San Carlos School campus B, located in Tunjuelito zone in Bogota D.C. in 2019. It was thought as a pedagogical tool to contribute and enhance the learning process of viola beginners, taking as referents The Suzuki Method by Shinishi Suzuki, Principles of violin; Playing and teaching by Ivan Galamian; Essential Elements for Strings by Michael Allen, Robert Gillespie and Pamela Tellejohn. These methods, along with some etudes of my authorship, present some of the musical and instrumental basics that are essential for viola learning. This proposal includes repertoire, pedagogical and bibliographic materials that were used as the fundamental teaching tools. The students’ learning process at San Carlos School starts from the preliminary steps due to their non-previous approach to music training. It is essential for us, music teachers in the program, to provide such first experiences in order to structure the implicit music elements contained in the repertoire. Viola students enrolled in this program take two lessons per week, two hours each, each group is formed by 6 to 8 students. Lesson undertake different viola methods, some of them are adaptations from violin methods for beginners. Additionally, we had scales training as the main support for repertoire learning.
