Drinks and dinner with live music

beneath the stars in the enchanting PIME Gardens of Milan,
to celebrate Fabrizio De André 
and bring the 2024/25 academic year to a graceful close.
An evening of music, verse, and shared emotion...
a tribute to a timeless poet whose songs still speak to the soul.


Apericena e concerto-spettacolo 

 nella splendida cornice dei Giardini del PIME di Milano per celebrare Fabrizio De André – Faber: l’ultimo trovatore – e concludere in bellezza l’anno accademico 2024/25. Un’occasione speciale tra musica, parole e condivisione, per rendere omaggio a un poeta senza tempo, le cui canzoni parlano ancora all'anima.





The answer, my friend, is speakin’ every day...

(inspired by the melody of Blowin' in the wind-

How many words should students understand 

The sounds of English to know

How many phrases must they recognise,  

To let their confidence grow?

  

How many questions must they ask and reply  

Till their speech is natural and it flows

The answer, my friend, is speakin’ every day

The answer is speakin’ every day


How many workbooks will they scribble through  

Before they find their voice?  

How many accents must they listen to  

To feel they have the choice?  

How many times must they practice aloud  

Till they feel free to rejoice?  

The answer, my friend, is speakin’ every day

The answer is speakin’ every day

La musica : una marcia in più funsongs.co.uk L'intervento di Charles Goodger a Radio Canale Italia mi dà lo spunto ,non solo per confermare quanto detto e spiegato da lui stesso, ma anche per ripercorrere la mia esperienza in questo campo.  Da molti anni utilizzo le canzoni nell'insegnamento e apprendimento della lingua inglese,  ispirandomi anche al metodo FunSongs di Charles Goodger.                    Il  valore  aggiunto che la musica può portare all'acquisizione linguistica, va oltre i metodi tradizionali  per creare un ambiente di apprendimento stimolante e favorevole. Alla base di tutto ciò la motivazione che è il vero incentivo all'apprendimento.  La musica nell’apprendimento dell’inglese è uno strumento particolarmente potente, sia per  bambini che per adulti. Numerosi studi evidenziano come la musica renda il processo di  apprendimento più efficace, coinvolgente e naturale. Utilizzar...

Music also lights up nearly all of the brain — including the hippocampus and amygdala, which activate emotional responses to music through memory; the limbic system, which governs pleasure, motivation, and reward; and the body's motor system. Music can help to improve motivation and engagement. Many people find that listening to music helps improve their mood, which can help them learn and retain information. Music can make you feel more engaged and interested in the learning process. Music can create a positive learning environment For many students, school can be a source of stress, and music offers a natural way to create a calming atmosphere. For instance, when playing soft and soothing music during challenging times, it can lower stress and anxiety levels. This calming infl...
