E.g. Discovery training / sound project management
Objectives: Sound pedagogy: Conducting a one-off or cyclical sound project using a variety of educative instruments
Until the middle of the 20th century, sound was considered as a characteristic of the note, which once composed, gave rise to learned music.
Nowadays, music represents a very small part of the sound world. The sound dimension of intimacy and the environment, and social practices, lead to the conceptualization of "sound ecology", which can be defined as: "the study of the links that humanity has with the sound world and through it".
Among the variations of this concept, the question of sound pedagogy arises. So how to conceive and make operational a sound project for music teaching, early childhood, national education or hospital and specialized environments, EHPAD? Which instrumentarium for which groups, which durations, which skills to aim for? How to manage the activity and the sound production of the participants? According to which pedagogical framework?
SUPERSONIC is rooted in didactics (pedagogical methods of listening, imitation, creation, projects, etc.), and knowledge of various musical educational systems. Using a heterogeneous instrumentarium - found in situ or assembled - it proposes the practice of sound games. The learning process is structured according to 4 essential phases, from the discovery of the sound world, its exploration, sound creation and then musical creation, to coding, interpretation and direction. SUPERSONIC is an inductive method, directly linked to the activity of the group divided between musicians, observers and listeners. It allows for a flexible and dynamic progression, according to the abilities of each individual.
SUPERSONIC approaches sound pedagogy through accessibility, for intuitive and inclusive practices and projects placed at the service of creation.
