Fundación Nacional Batuta
The National Batuta Foundation ( es, Fundación Nacional Batuta), commonly referred to as Batuta, is a Colombian music education system modelled on Venezuela's El Sistema. Origin and development Batuta was created in 1991 by the national government of president César Gaviria as a special project of the first lady Ana Milena Muñoz Gómez with assistance of José Antonio Abreu. The majority (70%) of funding comes from the government with the additional funding from private companies. The principal sponsor is Fundacion Bolivar Davivienda. It was the first such programme outside Venezuela. Batuta was modelled on Venezuela's El Sistema, aiming to offer a musical education to all, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds who would not otherwise have the opportunity to do so. Key differences with El Sistema include the use of private as well as public finance, greater use of traditional Colombian musical instruments instead of prioritising orchestral instruments, and a gre ...

Music Education
Music education is a field of practice in which educators are trained for careers as elementary or secondary music teachers, school or music conservatory ensemble directors. Music education is also a research area in which scholars do original research on ways of teaching and learning music. Music education scholars publish their findings in peer-reviewed journals, and teach undergraduate and graduate education students at university education or music schools, who are training to become music teachers. Music education touches on all learning domains, including the psychomotor domain (the development of skills), the cognitive domain (the acquisition of knowledge), and, in particular and the affective domain (the learner's willingness to receive, internalize, and share what is learned), including music appreciation and sensitivity. Many music education curriculums incorporate the usage of mathematical skills as well fluid usage and understanding of a secondary language or cu ...

Das Rheingold
''Das Rheingold'' (; ''The Rhinegold''), WWV 86A, is the first of the four music dramas that constitute Richard Wagner's '' Der Ring des Nibelungen'' (English: ''The Ring of the Nibelung''). It was performed, as a single opera, at the National Theatre Munich on 22 September 1869, and received its first performance as part of the ''Ring'' cycle at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, on 13 August 1876. Wagner wrote the ''Ring'' librettos in reverse order, so that ''Das Rheingold'' was the last of the texts to be written; it was, however, the first to be set to music. The score was completed in 1854, but Wagner was unwilling to sanction its performance until the whole cycle was complete; he worked intermittently on this music until 1874. The 1869 Munich premiere of ''Das Rheingold'' was staged, much against Wagner's wishes, on the orders of his patron, King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Following its 1876 Bayreuth premiere, the ''Ring'' cycle was introduced into the worldwide repertory, with per ...

Morat (band)
Morat is a Colombian band formed in the country's capital city, Bogotá. The band is formed by Juan Pablo Isaza (guitars and vocals), Juan Pablo Villamil (banjo and vocals) and the brothers Simón Vargas (bass and choruses) and Martín Vargas (percussion and choirs). Previously, until the end of 2016, drummer Alejandro Posada had been in the band. However, the percussionist had to leave the project, being subsequently replaced by Martín Vargas. History Formation The members of Morat have known each other since they were five years old. They started playing together several times and, when they finished their formation, they decided to create a band. Some of their musical influences are Joaquín Sabina, Eric Clapton and Bacilos. The band's original name was "Malta". The name was inspired by a pet owned by Isaza. They switched to "Morat" because it was the surname of an ancestor of Alejandro Posada, former member of the band. The name was also inspired by the farm where the b ...
