Description
Summary:This paper aims to research the possibilities of using Soundpainting as an educational resource for music inside the primary education classroom. Starting off from a qualitative methodology point of view, evidence has been gathered from teachers who have used Soundpainting with primary education students by interviewing them in a semi-structured way, therefore identifying the different musical, personal and social abilities students can develop with this language. Non participant observation has also been used for analysing the recordings of their classes and identifying different musical creation and improvisation activities this tool provides. The results show that by adapting Soundpainting to the student’s level it offers an atmosphere where they can work and promote their relationship with music from a more experiential perspective, giving students the freedom to explore, develop some skills and express themselves.
