Introduction

This subject is designed to achieve two main objectives: 1) to encourage future teachers to participate in listening, interpreting, and creating musical compositions so that they develop positive attitudes and experiences associated with the musical practice; and 2) to provide them with basic knowledge of music didactics so that they may reflect on the fundamental principles guiding primary school music education.

Objectives

 Understand the role that music education plays in the development of students' social, psychological, and cultural skills. 

 Become familiar with the primary education curriculum in terms of music education.  Engage actively in activities of listening, interpretation, and musical creation in order to discover, understand, and analyze basic elements of musical language. 

 Provide singing, instrumental practice, listening and dance as strategies for teaching listening, interpretation and musical creation to primary school students. 

 Integrate listening, interpretation, and musical creation activities as part of a broader work to strengthen disciplinary relationships. 

 Become aware of the need for collaboration between the generalist teacher and the music specialist
