This Monday, the V Cultural Week of the School and Conservatory of Music was inaugurated with a joint performance between teachers and students in a musical storytelling session. The audience was made up of the youngest in the school, who were amazed by the magic of music, a way to bring the fabulous stories of goblins, fairies and princesses closer to the most tuned ears.

The didactic concert was composed of a "goblin" narrator, four guitars, a transverse flute, a cello, two violins and percussion, in addition to the narrator of the story of Princess Shyra and the Warrior, the only story in which there was use of the word along with music. The other two musical stories were "The Dance of the Fairies" and "The Feast of the Goblins", where the only protagonist was music.

Musical notes can tell everything they set out to do. In fact, fantasy has reached many children for the first time through melodies. "Close your eyes to prepare to dream, open your ears and your heart to understand these musical stories", this is how the Goblin who started the act began. Guided exclusively by the Irish sound, the young apprentice musicians once again enriched their sensitivity to music, in a didactic session that took place in the Teatro del Cine Atlántida.

Teachers also dream

Before the didactic session of the musical stories, the qualified staff of the Conservatory and the School of Music conveyed their work concerns to the parents of their students. "We have been fighting for a long time with the Cabildo to recognize the work of music teachers and to equate their conditions with those of other Cabildo technicians," said Juan Arrocha, secretary and staff delegate of the Conservatory. The teachers ask to have the same opportunities as other music teaching professionals on other islands and to achieve their goals for the development of the training of their students and increase the promotion possibilities of those who study and work at the center.
