FROM CONCEPT TO DIGITAL PRODUCT: THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF STUDENTS
Abstract
This paper presents the findings of a project conducted with students to form a vocal ensemble and cultivate their musical abilities. The project comprises three principal elements. Initially, a vocal ensemble is established, comprising students with an aptitude for music. Subsequently, the author of the lyrics proposes a selection of songs, which are then discussed in feedback sessions. Participants offer their opinions and suggest alternative versions. Finally, the vocal performances are recorded, resulting in the production of a CD. The project enables students to develop their artistic abilities while also gaining experience in teamwork and music project management. The results demonstrate the positive impact of musical practice on the personal and creative development of the participants.
