“Music in the Service of a
\nCollaborative, Joyful, and Open School”:<\/strong>
\nCooperation, Trust, and Creativity<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throughout the 2024\u20132025 school year, the Notre-Dame de Lourdes School of Apprentis d\u2019Auteuil<\/a> in Civrieux-d\u2019Azergues (69) made music a central theme for all of its students. All students received weekly music instruction, and those who volunteered joined a choir. A total of 197 students, from preschool through fifth grade, participated in this project under the guidance of Florent Deboeuf, a schoolteacher, and Marina Paglieri, a music instructor. <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Harmony and Inclusion: A pupils-centered project<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]At Notre-Dame de Lourdes School, students have a wide range of cognitive profiles, including many children with special educational needs: autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity, learning disabilities, giftedness, and more. The project aims to strengthen cooperation<\/strong>, cognitive functions<\/strong>, self-confidence<\/strong>, and well<\/strong>–<\/strong>b<\/strong>eing<\/strong> for everyone, in order to support the success of all students, particularly the most vulnerable ones.<\/p>\n

Music and choral singing workshops are powerful tools for this purpose. By fostering self-expression, active listening, and emotional regulation, they help reduce stress and anxiety, while helping students reconnect with school and rediscover the joy of learning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=””]These workshops are particularly relevant to the school’s commitment to the ECHO* educational innovation program, which aims to prevent the most disadvantaged students from failing at school.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1781791264801{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}” el_class=”titre_sympa”]<\/p>\n

Putting young people first<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]All the pupils \u2013 3 preschool classes and 5 elementary school classes \u2013 participated each week in music workshops led by Marina Paglieri. These sessions, which were part of the regular schedule, provided a regular opportunity for the children to come together, lasting 45 minutes for the preschoolers and 1 hour for the elementary school students. <\/p>\n

Over the course of the sessions, the children discovered a wide variety of instruments\u2014from the violin to percussion to the piano\u2014played \u201creal\u201d instruments, experimented with rhythmic and physical play, and also learned to coordinate their movements and voices.<\/p>\n

Each cycle culminated in the creation of an original performance combining songs, texts, rhythmic games, choreography, and collective storytelling. These performances took place at the school and in the village community hall, under professional conditions, notably with sound provided by Radio Val d\u2019Azergues<\/strong> and enhanced musical accompaniment thanks to the presence of a pianist and the support of the Ensemble de Joux<\/strong> association.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5548″ img_size=”medium” css_animation=”slideInRight” css=”” el_class=”foujita_img_shadow_box droite”][vc_single_image image=”5550″ img_size=”medium” css_animation=”slideInRight” css=”” el_class=”foujita_img_shadow_box droite”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
