Diego Garrigo Prieto Main Subject: HaFaBra Conducting Research Supervisor: Heloisa Amaral Title of Research: Developing the amateur wind band. A comparative study of wind bands from Central Spain (Guadalajara and Madrid) and Valencia Research Question: How to improve the amateur wind bands in Spain? Summary of Research: Spain is the country of the wind bands. There is 27 professional wind bands and thousands of amateur wind bands and wind ensembles. All of them organize and/or take part in activities such as processions, parties, concerts, and contests. This research intends to inform to the conductors and managers of the amateur wind bands about the differences and the problems in the wind band scene in different regions in Spain. Being myself a wind band conductor, I have noted that the wind band scene in Spain is not the same in all regions. Valencia region has for instance a longer and more developed wind band culture than the region around Madrid, which is where I work. Through the research, I compare the most relevant aspects that make up an amateur wind band; from musical aspects such as the performances, the formation of the musicians, the teachers and conductors, to the idiosyncrasy of both regions (historical background, and the audience). The conclusions of this research are the key to explore and develop the wind bands scene around the world. Biography Diego Garrigo Prieto was born in Ávila, Spain. He studied saxophone at the Conservatorio Profesional of Amaniel in Madrid, and Symphony Orchestra and Choir conducting at the Conservatorio Superior of La Coruña. He finished his Bachelor’s degree in conducting at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague with Alex Schillings, and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the same institution. He has conducted many ensembles and wind bands in Spain, The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland.
