Rescue of native languages through music
1. Native languages are threatened in Amazon communities by the advancement of commercial music. They have already lost many traditions.
2. It is possible to use music as a tool to strengthen your language. Musical kindergarten books will sensory stimulate the little ones in their native language. Instrument books in the language will allow you to continue learning music. Pedagogy and creativity tools will allow you to reinforce your own practices and expressions.
3. In music there are innovative educational proposals that make it possible to value local expressions more than academic canons. Music thus functions as Education for Peace for societies in conflict.
The number of people from Ticuna communities in the Peruvian Amazon is less than 50,000. Customs have been violated by trade and social openness. Among them, traditional music and language are strongly reduced by consumer music. It is hoped that an adequate program can strengthen music in their own language, from the youngest with kindergarten books in native language, to children, youth and adults with a permanent learning of music, with musical instruments suitable for their conditions rurality, with study tools through books and through musical creativity in their language.
Additionally, the progress made in the 2017-2019 program in the communities of Cushillococha and Caballococha will be resumed and the musical educational program will continue
It is sought that, through an adequate musical methodology, children, youth and adults from vulnerable communities and remote areas can enjoy the benefits of musical learning and group musical practice in native language to reinforce their culture. The new beneficiaries will receive wind instruments such as recorders, quenas , melodicas and panpipes in ensembles. Recurring beneficiaries will continue with the educational program and will be prepared to continue practicing with the help of books. Adults who are willing to receive advanced music tools will be trained.

- Increase the engagement of learners in remote, hybrid, and physical environments, including strategies and tools for parental support, peer interaction, and guided independent work.
More and more in Latin America an education for peace is fundamental, because music has to do with the social processes of development, or negative impact when a foreign system is imposed. Diversity is part of social justice. Many policies ignore the importance of a modern and inclusive music education. It is intended to demonstrate the possibility of a positive social impact, rescue of native languages through a musical education adjusted to integrate the community to development
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model.
Since November 2017, a musical educational program was started based in Caballococha and annexing the Ticuna community of Cushillococha. Until the end of 2019, close to 200 children had been benefited per year. Unfortunately, the institutions did not support continuing from 2020, leaving a significant underserved population.
The region has important musical talents and native or mixed musical traditions. A musical educational program focused and adapted to these rural areas can benefit even more, since in the region there are no training in music, or institutes that prepare people to enhance their skills and artistic expressions. At the same time, when exploring the surroundings it is found that new towns can be included in a musical program. Of course, it has to be an education that adapts to the difficulties of access , the absence of electricity and little internet that some communities have.
- A new application of an existing technology
Because previously there has been no experience of rescuing native languages in remote communities. It will allow evaluating the processes of musical expression that develop over time, like a living folklore that will be stimulated
