SINAMUNE - Sistema Nacional de Música para Personas Especiales

Aims of the project:

To give disabled youths the chance to improve their skills through music by taking part in an orchestra. There is a main orchestra that gives concerts once in a month and the “Orquesta inicial”, that consists of students learning to play an instrument. The institution also teaches them how to paint and dance. The students with fewer problems are trained in working inclusion/basic Maths and language.

Project's activities:

The center teaches how to play different instruments. When the kids have developed some skills, they become part of the orchestra. Therefore, the kids practice for the orchestra concerts and presentations every day. Later, they have different classes. One day every week is gym class, where the whole school is leaving to a pool and one day PE(Physical Education) class.

Volunteer's tasks:

Depending on the skills of the volunteer, he/ she may be working in the orchestra and teach some of the children in music class (piano, clarinet, guitar or flute). The volunteer also supports the teachers in the different classes and activities the students perform. At the end of the day the volunteers have to accompany the students in the school bus that brings them home.
