Guía didáctica para la enseñanza del bajo eléctrico en el proyecto orquestas escolares de la ciudad de Cuenca

Abstract

For a long time it has been proven that the musical practice at early age is one of the best ways to take advantage the artistic skills of students, besides of being an important mechanism to use the free time of scholars; the formation of musical groups and orchestras in all the learning levels helps to strengthen and motivate the practice of this activity, and for this reason, some programs and projects are offered aiming to implement this learning in several aspects of the musical performance, close to the social environment, for instance, many children and young people love singing, playing the guitar, the piano, the drums; but only few of them know other musical instruments we have as option, like the electric bass. For this reason, this graduation work offers the proposal of a “Didactic Guide for the Teaching of the Electric Bass in the project “School Orchestras” in the city of Cuenca”. This guide aims to route the learning of the electric bass in the performance and musical repertoire which is used to work in this project, suggesting a systematization to learn this instrument, both in the theory and the practice. The project Didactic Guide for the Teaching of the Electric Bass in the project “School Orchestras” is based on an adaptable learning system which allows to have results in the shortest possible time (three months); for this reason, it has been necessary to create an order so that we can visualize the instrumental learning results based on the assembly of musical repertoire of several genres, mainly the Ecuadorian. Having been provided with a methodological guide for the learning of the electric bass, the children of the project will be able to have informative, technical and musical material about the instrument so that they are allowed to develop an organized study process.
