Semiotica e scuola

Itinerari sul senso in musica per conoscersi dando senso alla musica

Abstract

Teaching is an art of design. Setting learning environments aimed to develop students'  use and comprehension of one or more linguistic aspects in a specific piece of music leads teacher and students' sign production toward that particolar aspect. Learning environment itself, and structured activities along, becomes an interpretant in the sense discussed by C.S.Peirce and explained by M. Bonfantini in his introduction to Peirce' essays first italian translation. A couple of examples, dealing with two different music pieces, develop this idea in the perspective of a semiotically inspired music education.
