good afternoon and thank you for the invitation
I call Anna Spertini I’m a teacher
sign to children and adolescents and I have
spent the last five months of the
my life studying microexpressions
facial effects and related emotions
here this is for example a
expression of sincere joy
instead this is the expression that i make
my acquaintances when I tell them how I have
after the summer there is a certain discomfort
and also a certain impression why
actually micro-expressions
Facials are often related and
associated with the unmasking of the
lies
this also thanks to a telefilm of
a few years ago but they do not know people
that applying these techniques to a
another sector such as education
we can get one
greater communication with the students
and also a greater awareness of
I am also a mother of mine
son is called Alessandro at age 9
he studied the violin with the suzuki method
the suzuki method is an innovative method
in teaching music
universally recognized is called
also method of the mother tongue fu
created in the last century by shinichi
suzuki who is a teacher violinist
Japanese and found the foundation
main of this method is that everyone
they can learn from their environment
so when you create the right environment and
stimulating stimuli also the same
situations in the student and so
promotes learning condition
essential to the Suzuki method and to the
participation of at least one parent in
course of study and indeed success
of every Suzuki program is right
in the good quality of this
so-called suzuki triangle that is
formed by the report of
collaboration between the parent teacher
and child
here this is a violin class
the suzuki school of siena the master of
my son’s violin is called alessio
natuzzi usually via several emails
to parents to support them in theirs
role of parents and suzuki and to help
their children precisely in learning
of the violin at home last spring
alessio send an email to all
parents who among other things contain
a link to the paul ekman paul website
ekman is a researcher who has dedicated
all his life in search of the
facial microexpressions and lesions
emotions related to them I go to
visit the website and I immediately see that
inside there is a huge one
amount of interesting information
not just for the work I do but
also as a mother to help my son
with the study of the violin
the material is a lot and it is also
quite expensive so I ask to
alessio if you can share the
expenditure alessi accepts and so
we also share the moments of study
we spend the summer to study and
we arrive at the end of the summer that we manage to
achieve the fax coders notification this
it’s a certificate that usually comes
achieved by people who then go to
collaborate as experts with the police
or with the court but we want to
apply it to teaching because we are
convinced that it will give us results
surprising and at this juncture
I know even better than I know
some details of his life and how
arrived in Siena and I find out that way
paul ekman has dedicated his whole life
to the study of microexpressions
facial alesse has dedicated all his
life not only to music and to music
violin but also looking for a
unique teaching method
imagine them taking different ones
communication tools and techniques
usually used in niche areas
and apply them to teaching
the effect is immediate between teachers and
students create a communication
a profound empathy
the results are achieved in times
much faster and with
a stable background well-being the teacher
alessio but so is convinced that it is
possible through the use of different
methods like the suzuki the mental method
training line alpi coaching the method
feldenkrais sella profile succeed a
obtain a situation for which in
moment of the performance and therefore of the
concert of the performance
the child is in a situation of zero
stress and therefore well-being
stable many foreign universities e
Italians proved to be interested
looking for alessio
among these also royal college of london
and of course also the paul ekman group
who gave us part of the material of
study and then the passage is like
we do to define the level of
stress in children
there is a simple reliable test that
it is called salivary cortisol test
consists in taking a small one
saliva sample from the subject in the
moment of performance then in
this case of the concert to measure
precisely the amount of cortisol when
this hormone that is produced by
adrenal glands is present in
high amount indicates a condition
of stress
alessio na cucci in his years of
experience has applied just this
method on many children his students
and he saw that indeed it is possible
apply it can be done and the results there
I’m
I am an enthusiastic testimony of
this because I saw my son
only after two years of studying the
violin is now able to play a
memory
more than fifty pieces including also
very complex pieces and then think about it
a bit like it could be applied a
method of this kind also to others
subjects like math history, history
foreign languages we would have fashion finally
to give our children the chance
to take full advantage of this
aspect of learning that them
will accompany all theirs
life and so we come to the expression of
sincere joy that I showed you
at the beginning
imagine your children happy to
learn and strongly motivated to do it
imagine yours too
happiness when you will realize what
you did for them thanks
[Applause]
