This project is called "Oratio"
name taken from Latin
meaning "idiom" or language.
This may as well be a tool to teach small children
almost all basic curriculum contents
as if teaching a native language.
Therefore, to teach to experience
the phenomena and codes of the language,
in this case of subjects such as music,
geography, mathematics…
Our trip with Oratio takes us to the World of... Music!
The continents of Rhythm and Melody,
where we can develope an endless number of activities.
The functionality motto of this kind of software is
"Click and be dynamic"
where can I find the village of the Rhythmic Beings?
- Very well!
Welcome to the village of the Rhythmic... Beings!
- Here... the castle of the magic... flute,
... recorders in your hands please.
- It even rhymed!
- Let’s play at the speed of the ... lute...
... a Middle Ages’ instrument.
- Good, you got it right!
Who lives here?
-“Ti” does.
Musicians are very peculiar beings
they give very strange names to our figures.
What is the name that musicians give to “Ti”?
- Eighth note!
- Eighth note or quaver. That’s it!
Is that “Ti”?
- Yes!
- It’s “Ti” seen at distance. Let’s bring it closer?
- Yes!
...3, now!
- Come closer. Come closer!
- Look, here he is.
-He wants to make a trip.
- Who are you?
I am an eighth note, and unlike you,
beautiful. hehehe
...mmm, so you cannot help me,
I have to figure out what is a... triplet.
A triplet?
I think I can explain what a triplet is.
In fact it will be much easier for you
because it has got three figures a lot like you.
I will now play a beat,
and within each beat I have three figures.
Easy, did you understand?
- Yes, yes, it is as clear in my mind
as the forest Elf rotten teeth.
- Tell me something,
you haven’t got many friends, have you?
-Yes!
- I can’t hear you, are you ready?
-Yes!
-That’s it. I’ll be right there.
Look Marito, I’m leaving. I have to go back to my world...
