MONITORING CLASSES TESTIMONIES

By Isa Mejia | Isa Mejia P

She gave a testimony

We have taken advantage of this strange year to train virtually, It has not been easy, but 12 of our girls have been constant in their training for future teachers. Here is a few testimonies

When they talked to me about the opportunity that I had to participate in monitoring classes for choir, I got very scared, but really as the days went by, I felt more sure of what I could do. This process has been very important for me, as it not only takes me away from my strict academic life, it also gives me at the same time the liberty to learn , to give, invent and be myself. I liked very much this phase of classes as there were always guests who explained many interesting subjects, their different methods, gave us advice, their knowledge, among other things. The most outstanding thing about these classes were the homework’s proposed, such as to invent games for different parts of a choral class with Sirenaica, invent and practice physical, mental and vocal exercises for a choral essay, learn the history of our foundation, among other interesting works,

My work during these classes has been very productive, I have learned many new things, that aside from preparing me to give classes, has also prepared me for situatios in my day to day life and I appreciate that very much.

With this monitoring experience, I owe them many more experiences and they will be compensated.

CAMILA

I have learned a lot. The only thing I can say is thank you for this opportunity and all the words shared.

NOTE: Monitors are those who are being trained to be future teachers.

Our new group of future teachers

With the purpose of strengthening and consolidating a new group of future teachers who would want to learn Sirenaica’s methods, in June 2020, we began a virtual training course. We invited students who had some experience with their own choirs as well as youngsters that were interested in learning.

The group is comprised by 17 youngsters, of which 5 have some experience in each of their choirs.

The idea is to work for the rest of the year on the entire teaching process of the song, the different teaching methods, singing, the history and the different components of Sireaica, such as: the mission, vision, values, as well as teach the different duties and obligations of each and everyone within the group where the practice is taking place, in order to come out strengthened to be a future teacher.

Laura’s testimony; she is beginning the process:

“I belong to Sirenaica´s Foundation, being part of the choir seedlings and now I am in the monitor’s class and I love it too much, because it is a new experience in my life and because I am learning many things that I like. I am very grateful with Sirenaica’s Foundation and with the teacher Naty, as they have freely given me the opportunity of forming myself as well as learn how to give the children the knowledge that the same foundation has taught me and in this way make knowledge and art become nonperishable in time as it is transmitted from generation to generation.”

The support that each one of you gives us allows these youngsters to continue learning and strengthening their capabilities for life.

“Thank you, and stay safe.”
