I JUSTIFICATION
Mexico requires a culture Music that covers all aspects that are inherent. In these respects, the musical instrument not only important because of daily use in concert halls, homes, schools, plazas and any place where music is played, but also for its historical significance.
Learn how and why sounds like an instrument, what is essential in human life, what historical, social, educational or healing is, how it is constructed, what its agents of deterioration, what care, how and why is restored, are some aspects of the fascinating world of sound objects that few people know in our country.
Explain the importance of musical instrument, explaining the elements that shape and those that give us our identity, is an urgent task in our country to help stop the deterioration of all instruments of our past, that daily ignorance are lost. Just mention that in New Spain occurred during nearly two centuries a body a week, a total of approximately ten thousand bodies, which are estimated to be only slightly more than half, most of them in deplorable condition.
Mexico has a wide range of musical instrument makers, mainly ethnographic and popular, and also an emerging sector of professional builders and conservatives for music instrument called "classical." Promote their continuing professional development and the possible formation of an industry producing musical instruments as possible and necessary to meet the growing needs of musical activity in our country is a task for which a museum promoter may be the axis through its museum content, his essential research center and side activities undertaken therein.
And finally, the musical instrument teaches the practical application of many elements that students learn in school: from the early acoustic, static, optical and electrical we learn in physics, to aspects of biology and chemistry to social science, behavior, education and medicine.
This disclosure can be carried out only through a museum. An interactive museum where visitors can experience the formation of the phenomena sound by enabling simple mechanisms to the presentation of more complex phenomena through the video, which was presented to the public the various instruments according to their classification, and the principles of its operation. A museum, which presents temporary exhibitions on diverse aspects such as the results of research into ethnic music of our country and the history of the instruments used in our soil, the basic techniques and innovative construction, conservation and restoration, as well as aspects of using the instrument at school, trade, and rituals from ancient times until today.

History: Illustrate with instruments or sound objects and supplementary material (iconography, showing the use of musical instrument in society sculptural material, etc.) Development of musical instruments from prehistory to the present day in Europe, America and Mexico use and function (religious, social, psychological, medical, spiritual, educational, etc.) within society.
This section should consider Mexico as a country where cultures converge Asian, African and European cultures to mix with native and form, on the one hand, the instruments used ethnographic throughout its history to the present and on the other hand, the tools developed in Europe that were used in our country in the music called "cultured."
These samples can be accompanied with recorded musical examples, that the public can turn to hear the sound of the instruments.
d) Construction and Restoration
Construction: show the essential steps of the construction of musical instruments. Thus, the general public understand the process, materials, average processing times, tools and equipment.
musical instruments include:
guitar, violin and bow
flute or other woodwind instruments piano and other keyboards
historical
metal wind instruments marimba or percussion instruments etc
body.
Conservation and Restoration: All instruments require periodic maintenance work, maintenance and adjustment. In the above instruments will present the most important aspects of this work, indicating the parties, their reasons and their materials.
It will emphasize the need for prior training of the person performing such work, to do work that no damage to the instruments.
Part of conservation is the careful the user must practice to have an instrument. This care will be represented museum, in addition to being contained in a user manual can be purchased at the museum.
The restoration is very broad and requires a dedicated study to perform. In the museum setting, will be announced;
· The principles of restoration.
• The necessary interdisciplinary work among restaurant professionals, musicologists and scientists.
· The basic concepts of the restoration have to know anyone interested or holding musical instruments.
e) Temporary: This area can be exposed jobs that were made specific in the area of \u200b\u200brestoration and conservation, whether in workshops institutions such as the National Archives, College of Food, INBA, UNAM, etc. or individuals who so desire, national and / or foreign.
It should also cover important topics in each of the above areas. One area that is extremely complex and rich in variations, is the area of \u200b\u200bethnographic instruments should be covered in the historical area of \u200b\u200bmusic.
Other subjects we can draw are:
· Exhibitions of Mexican and foreign builders.
· Topics historical development of instruments in Mexico.
· Instruments teaching: significance, use and innovation.
