Rationale:
Samples:
We provide classical pieces of Bach, Portuguese Popular Music and some Brazilian bossa nova for the Interactive Youth Orchestra, with an illustrated biography for each composer, artist or band, scores and audio files to play along with. The artists and bands suggested are the most eminent in Portugal and Brazil – they are the great punk-rock band Xutos & Pontapés, politic-songwriter José Afonso, guitarist and national icon Carlos Paredes, the Queen of Fado Amália Rodrigues, and the great Carlos Jobim who internationalized the Brazilian bossa nova. Sample music scores for different instruments and versions (for the children to explore each tune with different musical styles and instruments) to be selected by each group or individual are available to associate members with complete resources and tutorials.
NOTICE: Most songs arranged for the Youth Orchestra are not in the domain name (not copyright free) and the academy does not have a copyright agreement for this. Some songs have many different parts, and we may not provide the complete versions of the original because their full length make it difficult for children to perform. Musical maturity and concentration time is a requirement more expected from older students. These examples/parts are just for learning purposes to students of mandatory school age, from 10 to 16 years old (classical and popular), as the post-16 years of age is for college and higher studies.
This website page is dedicated to the Online Youth Orchestra for children and adolescents from 10 to 16 years of age for classical and popular music ensembles and solo playing in non-certified (or non-regulated) learning activities, as well as for Conservatory or College Preparation.
As an interactive conservatoire for post-18 musical learning at certificate level and also for graduate level training, we should implement online educational and performance activities for these ages (10 to 16), in order to our interactive conservatory pilot project to work as a distance educational work environment. Each composer/artist/band has an illustrated classical or popular music history component, along with some video-links, to complement the practical group performance.
Applying for membership is not required to receive our complete resources and other advantages (fully illustrated biographical histories of the bands and artists, available in 3 languages, practicing scores and traditional music scores, and e-CDs with 1 track for practicing and another track for playing along, specially made for each piece or song), and tutorials (video-performance demonstrations, pdf documents explaining the best way to learn and implement the songs, and audio files - with a guide for teachers and parents).

Scope of the interactive youth orchestra and instrumental practice:
This is ideal for individual fun at home, group performances with friends, for use in the school system, conservatory grade level programmes, private music schools, and any other institution officially connected with the music education sector. Copyright licensing for the tunes is the responsibility of each teacher (please read the notice on this page about this). For private use, or at home, there is no need for licensing.
It is advised that each participant on this activity should practise the
given instrument individually, like a prep-class, before synchronizing the
group to play the music score together, individually, with friends, with the guidance of a parent or guardian, over the audio files provided by us. Pulse (beating),
Tempo (bps) and basic Meter (time signature/nº of beats per bar) are the
essential tools to know before performing.
Portuguese traditional instruments like
Cavaquinho/Braguinha from Madeira (Portugal), Ukulele from Hawaii (USA), Viola Braguesa (10-string guitar) from Braga (Portugal), or if you prefer, the Guitar or any other instrument, should be included to play melodies and arrangements. ***There are some musical scores available for popular music band performance with singer. Our approach is performing any song as a 'Standard' (Real Books, Hal Leonard - Classical and Jazz) but respecting the number of verses of the singer. An Improvisation Component is also needed (major and minor pentatonic and blues scales, and major and minor scale modes and using the ear for creating melodic solo improvisations). These are songs of Portuguese Popular Music and Jazz.
