Prof. Antonio Guida

This app was developed by prof. Antonio Guida, music teacher in Italian lower secondary schools, to offer users (teachers and students) a complete and functional platform for teaching/learning music at school. The "Education" menu, which is the one that opens when the application is started, allows access to the following submenus: "Utilities and methods" containing utilities, teaching materials and tools, exercises, books to download, lessons connecting with civic education, study methods, tutorials, video lessons and much more; “Musical theory”, with video lessons and educational games on the elements of music theory foreseen for the three-year period of lower secondary school; “Organology”, in which there are video lessons on musical instruments, human voices and works by great composers in history which help to understand the potential of the various instruments; “History of music”, with video lessons divided by topics and/or periods ranging from the origins of music to the post-World War II musical neo-avant-garde: a section full of biographies, anecdotes and curiosities. All the video lessons were created by Antonio Guida with a language accessible to secondary school students and allow the full application of the "Flipped Classroom" method. Finally, there is the "Materials for BES" submenu, with contents relating to utilities, materials and teaching tools, downloadable and printable highly readable stave sheets, exercises and lessons on music theory, organology and music history selected by Antonio Guida with criteria of accessibility for students with special educational needs (SEN) in lower secondary school.

In addition to the educational section, it is possible to learn about Antonio Guida's activity as a pianist, composer and trainer by browsing the other menus: "Who I am", "Criticism", "Works" and "Events".

We recommend visiting the desktop version of the following app, at bit.ly/antonioguidadidattica, to have access to further services for music teaching, such as the virtual keyboard, the metronome and the stave sheets, already structured with keys and bars, ready to be used directly on the IWB.

Finally, this application is the most complete in Italy for music teaching in secondary schools.
