READMUSIC: A new methodology to introduce musical language in preschool education

摘要

This paper shows a preliminary evaluation of the succesfully experimental implementation of an innovative pedagogical method to introduce the learning of musical language in the general education system at an early age: between 3 and 5 years of age (Preschool Education) in several Spanish schools. This method is linked to the child's general evolutionary process of learning to read and write, in which the associations of sounds and written symbols are established, also encouraging the early use of ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) through a computer programme specially designed for this learning method.
