New teaching strategies or assessment strategies used?

The students used their devices as a tool of research, they looked out information, historical
data and media regarding different world music genres.

Comments: The topics Programm Music and Absolute Music were not studied, instead of that
we made a workshop towards a song called El idioma de los dioses; this helped us to recognize
and understand several of the most important musicians in history and their legacy, which is not
outside the main purpose of the curricular program; this means that the topics missing will be
studied in second quarter
