Imitation in the teaching of music is a resource that comes from oral traditions, and that later western culture transformed with many variants through the canon or counterpoint among other musical forms. The BAPNE method has four ways of learning, where imitation is executed from another praxis very different from the classical one. The aim of this work is to provide, both theoretically and practically, another pedagogical model of imitation from the point of view of body percussion and neuromotricity. To this end, it will focus on other structures on a practical level called simple imitation, progressive imitation, inhibitory imitation, and divided imitation, with their verbal, kinaesthetic and mixed variants, which are a complete departure from classical learning models. These types of imitation are based on a model linked to motor skills for the development of cognitive function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Body percussion constitutes a decisive expressive-musical element in many works of the band repertoire. The compositional possibilities that it offers from a rhythmic, timbral and choreographic point of view are often linked to traditional musical elements as in the case of Palindromia Flamenca by Antonio Ruda Peco. In this work for solo soprano saxophone and band the Spanish musician, through the almost constant presence of clapping, creates a musical climax very close to flamenco as the performance, entrusted to a specific group of musicians, brings to mind the role of palmeros. In this article, through a musicological investigation we intend to pay particular attention to the musical characteristics and functions that body percussion performs within the composition. This will represent the basis for developing a teaching proposal based on the BAPNE Method for the development of executive functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When analyzing the band music repertoire, which includes works composed for wind ensemble as well as arrangements from orchestral compositions, an increase in the incorporation of body percussion as a compositional resource has been observed. This article focuses on the work La corrida de toros by Mario Bürki. The Swiss composer, in his descriptive symphonic poem, is dedicated to presenting the different parts of a Spanish bullfight, also called tercios if we stick to bullfighting terminology. Starting with the paseillo that leads the bullfighters into the arena, up to the tercio de muerte (third of death) in the final part. The composition includes sounds and rhythms combined with the percussion of different parts of the body. This paper presents a complete musicological analysis that contemplates structural, organological, harmonic and rhythmic parameters. Special attention is given to the aspects related to the musical function that body percussion plays in this composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
