About this exposition

Name: Antonio Pierna Research supervisors: Patrick van Deurzen and Ewan Gibson. Title of the research: Contemporary Percussion Education Research questions: -How is the situation of contemporary classical percussion education today? -What are the possibilities of teaching contemporary classical music to young children? Summary of results: In 2014 when I started teaching music to two young students, I started questioning myself what were my possibilities to teach contemporary music to them. I realized that I didn't had that kind of training in my former education so I decided to discover if this could be a general problem. After analyzing some ideas and projects done on this topic, I created different activities based on different pieces from the repertoire of my Master, using two big topics: John Cage and electronic music. I tried the activities with my students and the result was very satisfactory. This and the perception of a lack of contemporary music in the educational system, encourages me to continue discovering the possibilities of contemporary music education for young students. Format of presentation: research paper. Biography: Antonio Pierna was born in Valladolid (Spain) in 1991. During his percussion studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Castilla y León, he developed his interest in orchestral and contemporary music and collaborated with professional orchestras like Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y Leon and Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia. In 2011 he started at The Royal Conservatory of The Hague (KC), where he finished his Bachelor in 2014 and where he corrently studies an orchestral master, together with the Residentie Orkest. Antonio has collaborated with Slagwerk Den Haag, Asko Schoenberg, Ludwig Ensemble or the Eighteen Century Orchestra.
