can I use the music is the question we should ask before making decisions to eliminate their presence in the education system. Why not valued the music in art education in general education and curiously more study centers proliferate more music, more concert halls, more choirs, bands, etc..? Unfortunately
endemic in our country is a double standard that has never understood or fulfilled the demands of professional musicians, while that small proportion of the population who can afford it insists on conservatory training or private to children, often with a desire elitist, synonymous with culture and distinction, confusing and hard rigorous training of a professional with a pure and simple activity he will learn in a facility that, as a day care, entertainment. This approach outdated academic and reality collide in a population that has enormous creative potential and artistic little is grown.
What diversity? And multiculturalism? What can be done with the boys and girls newly arrived from other countries that ignore the language, they do not understand the messages of society that are beginning to discover?. What is art?. To communicate, to relate, to express, to touch, to open channels to sing, to dance, to draw, to learn, to interpret, to feel, to laugh and build bridges where other languages \u200b\u200bare not yet mastered.
And the knowledge and dissemination of our national musical heritage, regional and local levels? Can be done in compulsory education if music education is not adequate representation at each level?
So why music? Far more and more of that conception and Quadrivium Greek, and without assuming even the modern trends in which we discover how music helps in the harmonious development of personality of children through education, we need to inform and remind those who did not receive artistic training in personal training process, that music stimulates the brain, sharpens listening skills and develops the ability to listen. In music performance (singing and vocal expression, body language and instrumental dance and expression) are working all the motor behavior required for individuals psychophysical balance, coordination, spatial-temporal relationships, balance, etc. In the song you are working around the vocal apparatus, relaxation, breathing, issue, communication. It is known that the effects of music involve the sensory and emotional elements and that they are registered in the brain.
As we move into the formation of individuals at different stages, also in the music learning social work relationships, respect for others, observation and concentration, discipline and standards, sensitivity and awareness staff and also the creativity and the ability of music to provoke emotion that is perhaps one of the elements that has more strength when contemplating the motivational construct any lovers of the arts.
All this, we do it in a time of one hour per week in primary education (from Hence our insistence to extend that time to two) and two hours per week in the first three years of secondary education. And we do all this by participating in active music with students, using music as a living thing and meaning, because the concepts are learned directly from the same music, making music, feeling and expressing the music, does not exist in the schools curriculum in the word "music theory" because in general education professional musicians do not prepare for it are the Conservatory of Music.
Education needs to prepare tomorrow's citizens for the future that awaits them, always different and unpredictable, enhancing therefore the physical skills, balance and personal harmony, the ability to respect and coexistence, and development of creativity and divergent thinking, training demanded by the society in permanent crisis, evolution and change.
