馃幎鉁� Una ma帽ana de jazz, cine mudo y mucha creatividad para Year 7 鉁煄�
Nuestros alumnos de Year 7 disfrutaron de una experiencia musical inolvidable durante una salida muy especial. Asistieron a un concierto en directo de The Andr茅s Santos Station Band, un brillante grupo murciano especializado en dar vida al cine mudo con bandas sonoras de jazz interpretadas en vivo.
Pudieron ver 鈥淓l espantap谩jaros鈥� (1920) de Buster Keaton y dos cortos de Charlie Chaplin, mientras la m煤sica transformaba cada escena. Despu茅s, participaron en una actividad muy din谩mica, identificando las diferentes secciones de El espantap谩jaros y descubriendo c贸mo la m煤sica potencia la narraci贸n en pantalla.
Una ma帽ana llena de arte, aprendizaje y emociones que uni贸 m煤sica e historia del cine de una forma verdaderamente m谩gica. 馃幏馃帴馃挮 馃幎 Porque, 驴qu茅 ser铆a de una educaci贸n verdaderamente integral sin un lugar para la m煤sica y la creatividad en ella?
馃幎鉁� A morning of jazz, silent films, and creativity for Year 7 鉁煄�
Our Year 7 students enjoyed an unforgettable musical experience during a very special outing. They attended a live performance by The Andr茅s Santos Station Band, a talented group from Murcia known for bringing silent films to life with original jazz soundtracks performed live.
They watched 鈥淭he Scarecrow鈥� (1920) by Buster Keaton and two short Charlie Chaplin films, beautifully accompanied by the band鈥檚 music. Afterwards, they took part in an engaging activity, identifying the different sections of The Scarecrow and exploring how music enhances storytelling on screen.
A morning filled with art, learning, and excitement 鈥� a truly magical way to connect music with film history. 馃幏馃帴馃挮 馃幎 After all, what would a truly rounded education be without a place for music and creativity at its heart?
