Teaching music with a system that works


Schoolchildren in Britain are set to enjoy high quality teaching from classical music legends thanks ...................... an exciting project linked to Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema orchestra. Four new community orchestras have been created ...................... the country in a scheme ......................  aims to improve children’s confidence through music. Government departments are providing funds...................... the multi-million pound project in Gateshead, Leeds, Nottingham, and Telford ...................... 2015.


El Sistema is the inspiration behind Britain’s In Harmony scheme. In Harmony uses classical music to change the lives of children, and benefit their communities, and families.


Already, musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Camerata have agreed to take part. They will provide instrumental tuition, ensemble playing practice, and promote wider musical activities in communities. Organizers hope the initiative will give children role models to look up to, and help uncover the next generation of composers, artists, and performers.


For several years, there have been successful In Harmony projects in London and Liverpool. While the project is all about classical music, some of those who have taken part have shown an interest in other types of music, too. Many of those children whose musical talents really stood out have since begun to learn the piano, drums, or guitar, while others have gone into music production. Some have gone on to record and release their own music, and others now perform regular gigs. Organizers of the scheme want to repeat that success by bringing the project to towns and cities where there are areas of deprivation.


The project offers disadvantaged children the chance to master a classical instrument with rigorous tuition. Along the way, the children learn valuable teamwork skills, and enjoy a sense of community spirit. In the past, it has transformed attitudes towards classical music, and learning in general. Even children who say that they can’t stand learning instruments at the beginning, sometimes end up wanting to become professional musicians by the end. They often grow to realize that they love making music after playing with others in an orchestra.


In Harmony will run in selected primary schools whose students will meet several times a week from an early age to play instruments together. The aim is engage all the children in participating schools and communities so they can benefit from sharing the experience. Once the project settles down in the communities where it is launching, it is hoped the children will soon be rehearsing for big performances on the local, regional, or national stage.
According to the information in paragraph 3, we can infer that:

Read the following excerpt and answer the following questions.

Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

Sheila, aged 59, says, 'I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It's a much better way to see what they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did it when I was a child, but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.'

Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site – only 2.2 million users are under 17 – but they're not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. 'It's my alarm clock so I have to,' she says. 'I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.'

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?
