The Monitor Training School is progressing successfully and at a steady pace. The young participants have successfully completed the first module and have begun the second one, while also carrying out teaching practice in the Foundation's active choirs, accompanied and supervised by our teaching artists.
During the first module, they explored the body as a musical instrument through physical warm-up exercises, rhythmic echo activities, and choreographies included in the Foundation's methodological books. They also gained an introduction to different music education methodologies used around the world, broadening their knowledge and developing new tools for teaching.
They are currently undertaking the second module, which focuses on vocal technique. Their training includes diaphragmatic breathing exercises, vocal coordination and control, as well as exercises based on the Logros (learning achievements) included in the Paso a Paso methodology. These activities are designed to develop attention and concentration, which are essential elements of the Sirenaica methodology and fundamental to our teaching practices.
The participants have demonstrated great interest, commitment, and motivation to continue and complete their training. Their goal is to acquire the necessary skills to lead their own choir programs and put their learning into practice. Looking ahead, we hope that by early 2027, most of the young people enrolled in this program will begin their journey as teaching artists, leading their very first choir within Fundación Sirenaica.
