Discriminación auditiva de la forma musical en estudiantes universitarios de magisterio en educación infantil

Abstract

This article studies the acquisition of hearing discrimination skills of the musical form in two groups of students of Teaching Studies at University, people without prior systematic aural- discrimination training; the purpose is to explain what factors may contribute to its effectiveness. After systematic audition-skills training for two months, a test was performed for the recognition of the musical forms studied, using different examples than those used during the teaching process. The design of the study is mixed (quantitative-qualitative); data are analyzed using SPSS software. After systematic training, most students were able to recognize musical forms, i.e., they have transferred the internalized concepts to previously unknown musical examples. The appreciation of these students towards music education as part of their teaching training was also considered: there is evidence that the pre-concept towards the subject also influences the effective achievement of these competences.
