In the afternoon a date was arranged in a private music school and talks with the director and one of the teachers. The seniors who worked there do that voluntarily and without being paid. The Scuola di Musica Festo Fiorentino looks back on a long tradition until deep into the last century. In the rooms of an old feudal building it teaches all kinds of classical instruments and has published a book with introductions to the different techniques. Concerning the example we heard it concentrates only on military music (marches). With this programme it seems to be very well integrated in Sesto Fiorentino. When one of the teachers introduced himself it became obvious that his musical training as well as the teaching at the school is not only voluntary and unpaid, but also autodidactic, at least most of it – really astonishing! We didn’t dare to judge the quality of the results – finally.
