Our "Beyond Music!" was awarded for the 4th time! Hungary, Turkey, Chech Republic and now Portugal have received a National Quality Label each. It's quite remarkable!
Congratulations to all who have participated in this project.
Well done!
We are proud to present our first video! It's called "Poverty". We chose Debussy's "Clair de Lune". We made our movie on powerpoint and then our teacher converted it into wmv.
It's a little bit sad but we hope you like it. Bruno, Carlos and Cláudio

Igor Granja and Carlos Vendas were impressed with last January Haiti's earthquake so, when they heard Mozart's "Requiem" ("Confutatis" - our number 7 piece), they immediatly remembered those desperate moments for Haitian people!

PS: All our movies are aproximatly 2 minutes long because these kind of movies take too long to make.
What do we feel, what do we "see" when we hear music? Do we feel the same way whether we're from Portugal, Romenia, Poland or Turkey, for example? This is a project about feelings and creativity.
Partners from Portugal, Romenia, Turkey, France, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic and Hungary chose 10 classical music masterpieces.
Our aims were to develop creativity, learn how to express feelings, be familiar with classical music, develop ICT skills and respect different ideas.
The results we expected to achieve were:
Different "works of art" based on the same music.
Different points of view/ideas based on the same music.
Different presentations based on the same music.
Hope you like seeing our work as much as we enjoyed doing it!
The next task was to make our students listen to the pieces. Then they were free to express themselves through drawings or paintings, dancing or writing, through powerpoint presentations or in some other ways they wish.
This blog pretends to be a window to the work developed with our students.
