TEACHER ROOM: Music as a didactic potential for many learnings #1

Source

It is not known how music appeared in the history of mankind, because neither the sounds of the determined height nor their rhythmic relationships are found in nature as something specific to it, nor as a specific product of the human being. Nor can it be said that the music appeared by imitation of the song of the birds or of the howls or grunts of the mammals, although the primitive man imitated them as a means to facilitate their capture. It could be born as a need to contrast with the silence of the environment.

This, together with the recitations, could constitute the primitive origin of musical expression. It is probable that primitive man has accompanied the movements he made in his various activities or works with guttural sounds, whose rhythm adjusted to his innate internal rhythm. The progressive development of this rhythm through movement would be the beginning of the evolution of dance.

What is generally called "having a musical ear" is not a matter of improvisation from one day to the next because the language of music is of great amplitude and complexity. Knowing it thoroughly can be quite difficult for adults if they have not been familiar with it since childhood, and that is why it is much better for the ear to begin educating at an early age.

At present, there are various didactic methodologies, very attractive and motivating, for children to learn music through games and simple exercises, while practicing this art with the constancy and repetition that their learning demands.
