An overview of
the monographic
program
一、To participate in the contest
category:
Local ethnic
group in the
community
二、Our community:
Mingde
Elementary
school is
located in
No.119 Beitou
district, Taipei
City. One can
take the bus or
the Taipei
MRT. Get on at
the Danshui Line
station, then
get off the
Mingde station,
when you get out
of the exit just
turn left. Take
about 5 minutes
walk and you’ll
reach Mingde
elementary
school. Every
Saturday
morning, you
will be greeted
by a group of
lively and
cheery parents
together with
their children
happily playing
the samba drums.
Mingde samba
group was
establish since
Oct.11th, 2009 The
group members
said that they
are enjoying so
much, and that
they will
continue to play
samba until
their children
graduated from
grade school.
三、A summary of the research project:
Me, myself was a member of the
parent-child
samba drum. I
never failed to
join or to
participate in
every single
performance that
the group has. I
found out that
the group has
been improving
everyday. In the
beginnings,
parents are more
enthusiastic
than the
children. Maybe
its because
playing samba
drums required
one to carry the
drum while
playing.
Children find
the drum to be
too heavy for
them. Another
reason is they
can’t stand long
hours of
practicing. The
head of the
group together
with our samba
instructor Chen
Hong Yue decided
to let the
children play
smaller drums
like the Caixa,
Tamborim, and
even Agogo,
while the
parents took
chart of playing
the bigger drums
like the Surdos.
The head of the
group also
divide rehearsal
time into 3
section, we
rehearse 30 mins
and rest for 10
minutes.
Gradually, we
notice the
children are
starting to like
samba, until the
time they never
complain even if
we exceed the 30
mins rehearsal.
This time, the
instructor will
let the group
members to
exchange
instrument
amongst
themselves, so
that everybody
will have the
chance to play
different
instrumenst. We
also had members
of the group who
graduated from
grade school
last year but
they continue to
come back and
play samba drums
with us . From
here, we can see
the childrens
enthusiasm to
learn the drum
was gradually
developed.
Were’re very
happy about the
development. Now
they play the
drum like
they’re playing
games with
friends.
四、Fourth,the network environment:
