As well as the benefits obtained from the act of creating and performing music, this project provides the teachers in the schools with a series of tools which permit cross-fertilization with some of the other general objectives established in the primary school curriculum.

Some examples:

PERSONAL
•  Autonomy
•  Expressivity
•  Discipline
•  Assessment criteria/critical thinking
•  Self awareness and self confidence
•  Emotional capacity

INTERPERSONAL
•  Respect for others
•  Ability to participate in group work
•  Problem solving ability
•  Communicative skills

SOCIETY
•  Diversity
•  Cultural awareness

In the assessment session which was held with the musicians from the OSV and the teachers from the school, the following points were discussed:

Teachers:

• the value of this project resides in the fact that it works on different levels; the practice of music is simultaneously an end in itself and a useful tool for the acquiring skills from other disciplines.

• group work produces immediate benefits, in particular with pupils who tend to be socially excluded for personal or cultural reasons.
 
Musicians:

• the children who participated in the experience show a level of attention in the rehearsals that is very different to the usual level, and they transmit their interest to their parents.

• This experience has demonstrated that it is possible to find different formats which do not substitute but widen the concert format and permit the sharing of the love of music.
