Education &
Training

CREMONAMUSICA  – International Exhibitions and Festivals is a moment of culture and knowledge, an opportunity for comparison and deepening, where high craft knowledge, training and education are translated into projects, ideas, tangible effects. 
This approach, in addition to enhancing professions and trades, generates awareness and greater appreciation for what is being “observed.” 
Therefore, it is important to involve:
LIUTERY SCHOOLS, in order to exhibit  their educational offerings and the best works of their students.
MUSIC SCHOOLS, where teachers and students use those instruments to create “art.”
SCHOOLS OF ALL ORDERS AND GRADES to visit our space, participate in our workshops,  attend our performances and “listen to history.” 
To make the new generations experience the HISTORY OF ROCK MUSIC of the past 70 years, and to understand how it is connected to the historical, social and costume changes of our time.

Old and new trades

Ancient crafts, craftsmanship and constructive knowledge, dialogue with a future rich in technology, electronics, new expressive methodologies.
The importance of collecting the lessons received and making sure that they can be passed on, growing and improving over time.
LIUTERY SCHOOLS play an important role in all this.
TO PARTICIPATE as an exhibitor or as an audience with your own students or groups, send an email to info@esvcremona.it

Making music

It is equally important to STIMULATE AND ENCOURAGE the young and very young to pick up an instrument and start playing. ESV wants to encourage the presence of MUSIC SCHOOLS to tell about their proposals and methods.
Even before notions, before study, there is the “spark” that leads to initiation.
Sometimes the fascination of a story behind a piece of music, learning the first rudiments of playing it, helps one take a more arduous path.

Workshops for schools and beyond

HISTORY OF THE ELECTRICAL GUITAR Duration 45' - participation by reservation only, included in fair admission fee

in collaboration with
Fender Vintage Museum by Flavio Camorani – SEE SITE
Edited by Vincenzo Atzori
Let us review the history of electric violin making. Early experiments, such as construction techniques that came from the past and from classical and acoustic violin making, “met” with technology and scientific advancement in the electrical and electronic fields.
Being the first electric luthiers also meant being scientists and technicians who could try new ways, grasp what the past had taught and lay the foundation for what would be the future, not only in building electric instruments, but also in the sound that would be “forged.”
Thanks in part to this new look, music is progressing. Something that had never happened before. Thanks also to the collaboration of musicians in search of new expressiveness, ROCK MUSIC is born and spreads

LET'S DISCOVER THE PARTS OF THE ELECTRICAL GUITAR Duration 45' - participation by reservation only, included in the cost of admission to the fair

in collaboration with
Fender Vintage Museum by Flavio Camorani – SEE SITE
Edited by Vincenzo Atzori
What are the parts that make up an electric guitar? There are so many models and shapes, but there are some parts that are fundamental and that are present in all instruments. Both the guitar and the bass guitar.
The most famous and iconic models such as the STRATOCASTER, the TELECASTER, the LES PAUL, the JAZZ bass, and the PRECISION.
We will see and be able to touch with our hands, the pieces that are built and joined together to give life to the instruments described above.
Through high-definition images and with the help of a close-up camera, we could see every detail up close and understand in a simple way the various parts that make up an electric violin making instrument.

THE HISTORY OF ROCK MUSIC, WHY TO STUDY IT? duration 45' - participation by reservation only, included in the cost of admission to the fair

in collaboration with MADE IN ROCK APS
Edited by Mariano Freschi and Stefano Prinzivalli
What does it mean to relive the history of rock music? It has been 70 years since that moment when we can identify the BIG BANG of ROCK MUSIC.
Thanks to the exhibition that will be set up in the Electric Sound Village spaces, we will cover a period from dat the beginning of the epic of the great concert-meetings, (1967) to the assassination of one of the most important figures in rock history-John Lennon (1980). The festivals of Monterey, Woodstock, Altamont, Isle of Wight, concert for Bangladesh, Hard Rock…the advent of progressive…the explosion of punk.
Defining a time in rock can be a limitation, but in this case we want to consider a delimited historical period that can serve as a “glimpse” into this history and that had a major influence on the art world, society, fashion, and the generations that lived that era, that dream.
