Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BE GOOD AT SINGING TO ENROL IN CANZONI A TEMA?
Absolutely not, you just need to love music! Canzoni a Tema is not a choir, during the sessions we analyze songs from different angles, listening and reflecting on the lyrics.
WHY ARE SONGS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN A LANGUAGE?
By memorising lyrics students learn full phrases and idioms that can be used in everyday life situations. Listening and singing along is also a great way to improve pronunciation; an aspect tricky to master when learning a phonetic language like Italian. Lastly, learning songs helps enrich one’s vocabulary and is an easy way to remember words.
CAN STUDENTS JOIN THIS COURSE IF THEY ARE ALREADY STUDYING ITALIAN AT SCHOOL OR ONLINE?
Yes, everyone is welcome. Canzoni a Tema is a short course designed for people who can’t commit to a full semester as well as avid students who just can’t get enough of learning Italian! This unique learning approach is also an opportunity to expose students to aspects of Italian culture in a way not found in a textbook or an app.
WHAT CAN PEOPLE EXPECT FROM A TYPICAL LESSON?
The lesson starts with an association of ideas (we call this exercise brainstorming); after that, it’s time to listen to the song and reflect on the lyrics as well as the musical aspects. This is when the use of language and grammar is discussed in more depth. At the end of each class it all comes together and those who wish are welcome to sing along or just listen to the lyrics and perform their best lip-sync!
