Desarrollo Institucional UAP

INTRODUCTION

The Music School fulfills the purpose of praising God and giving testimony through what it does, either in moments of worship or in presentations in non-religious fields. Through the official musical ensembles (and, also, the occasional ones) it is that we try to obtain it. Percussion plays an important role in music. Well used, it accompanies the motif in the musical piece and generates good feelings in those who listen. That is why we see the need to have good instruments to achieve the best quality of music.

PROJECT
NAME

Purchase and renewal of instruments

DEPARTMENT OR
PERSON IN CHARGE

UAP School of Music and Symphonic Band

WHAT IS IT
ABOUT?

The renewal of percussion instruments is based on the need of various sectors of the UAP. We take into account the number of events and ensembles that use the same instruments and that, on several occasions, overlap the activities of the Symphony Band, the Children and Youth Orchestra, the Music Teaching Staff and the events of the UAP Church. All the percussion instruments we have already have many years of use. In addition, many of them are in imperfect conditions. The current situation of these demonstrates their deterioration: while some have missing parts, others are broken. This situation affects the quality of the interpretation that is intended to be achieved, especially given that the mentioned groups and events represent the UAP.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this project is the renewal of the percussion instruments that we already have and, if possible, add some that we do not have, but which would be very useful for our musical events. Here are listed the instruments to be renewed: Timpani, cymbals, drummer, concert bass drum, drumsticks (for each instrument), glockenspiel, triangle, tambourine. Also, if possible, we would like to expand the variety in percussion: More timpani (3), castanets, gong, tubular bells, xylophone, cowbell, maracas.
