El ensamble instrumental como generador de habilidades musicales en niños de grado séptimo

Abstract

The musical ensemble as a didactic strategy for the appropriation of basic musical skills in seventh grade students of the Augustinian Suba school, proposes a didactic alternative to work on elements such as pulse, rhythm imitation, melodic imitation and the development of inner hearing; skills that, for this work proposal, those are necessary because those create solid musical bases that prevent conceptual difficulties or vacuums in the later processes of musical development. We sought to applicate five workshops where students develop the last skills, in a progressive manner and considering the skills present in the students. The compositions and arrangements proposed in the workshops present sound characteristics typical in the students' musical context. A qualitative study was made from an initial diagnostic test and a final test for the analysis of the students' progress in the proposed skills. With the implementation of a semi-structured interview at the end of the process, the opinions and thoughts of the students' experiences regarding the work carried out were condensed. At the end of the process it was evident that the students improved notably in the knowledge and appropriation of the skills proposed in this research, and this could be corroborated in the result of the instrumental assembly of the proposed compositions and arrangements made by the students.
