If in Alhama de Murcia is named the word music, almost everyone comes to mind the Municipal School of Music.
And, today, the Municipal School of Music has more than four hundred students from five.
Indeed, interest in the operation of the school, the Mayor of Alhama de Murcia, accompanied by the head of the service, the Councillor for Culture and Heritage, Carmen Maria Rodriguez wanted to see first hand how a normal afternoon progressed in school.
The principal, Jose Antonio Ayala with the Head of the Musical Association, Jose Antonio Gomez, received municipal representatives and were showing each of the rooms giving explanations of each of the functions of the spaces.
The visit served to each other responsible could have a quiet conversation talking about the center's needs, current possibilities and future plans of the school.
The mayor and councilwoman, had the opportunity to talk to many students and teachers, those moments, gave class at school and well, know different points of view from the municipal.
Currently, School of Music and Musical Group go hand in hand and, on many occasions, one thing is confused with another even though they are two completely different bodies, yes, with one visible head, the director of the school band and Jose Antonio Ayala, question why, possibly both are so well coordinated.
On the one hand is the School of Music, to the City Council and that includes building and faculty.
On the other hand, is the musical group, responsible for the bands and choral and has, at present, more than 120 instruments used by the School of Music regularly.
Finally, another entity and operate hand and fully coordinated, so that benefits from the other constantly without involving any injury to anyone since, after all, the only goal is teaching music and musical.
First, the School of Music was created in 1981 in order, among other things, recover the band.
To do this, she says the school principal, who already started working at the time, he contacted musicians in the band that existed in Alhama and eventually disappeared.
Pepe Medina, Pedro "the Trinca" John "the Round", were some of the alhameños who began working on an initiative that, initially, left the Consistory itself.
In 1982 the musical group was created in order to recreate the municipal band was created in 1982 and the Municipal School.
Since then, the love of music among alhameños has been implemented gradually and today, the musical group has the titular band, youth band and choir as well as a tremendous pool of musicians well prepared for the Municipal School.
Municipal School Venues
The School of Music and the trials of the municipal band have changed depending on the availability of local place to have room to achieve with current Music School, former municipal slaughterhouse restored by a workshop for training and employment, which was opened in 2002 although the building was occupied as early as September 2000.
And, the rush to have a place was more of a necessity after pacing the House of Culture in 1981 and then go to a classroom at the parish of La Concepcion, follow in a classroom of the old Children's Traffic Park, relocate in the old City Hall where, says José Antonio Ayala, who did not fit the students and that, once he got into the test room, and could not leave until they leave all.
The tour continued with new offices in the basement of the Municipal Auditorium until 1989 to finally have its own headquarters at its present location.
The School of Music "The Slaughterhouse"
Currently, the School of Music is an ancient building where cubicles are not just tools for teaching, but large rooms for testing and training.
It also has a small yard and offices for the musical group.
The school is busy every day from Monday to Tuesday and even Saturday morning, with different configurations of Initiation Musical, Musical Language and instruments.
Morning take place administrative tasks and from four in the afternoon until not before ten at night, although most times until half past eleven last night, the school is in full swing.
At present, the school is studied flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and flugelhorn, serious metal, percussion, piano, guitar and violin.
Takes the cake piano with 50 students followed by guitar, clarinet with 46 and 28.
The oboe is the instrument with fewer followers (4).
To make this possible, has 12 students plus the choir teacher.
And teachers should not be too bad, as today, many alumni of the School of Music who have found their vocation and profession through music, as the band of the musical group of Alhama has positioned as one of the best in the region and when the choir, despite its short existence, already participating in major choral events.
