Directions for a Contemporary School Music Education
In this session I will discuss how the school music education should be for a new emerging era as we are experiencing, characterized by uncertainty in key political and economic issues and with threats like the global warming and the irruption of AI in our lives, beyond the digitalization of the last decades. Our world is changing, so school and school music education should be. I will group these new features of music education curriculum into four: (1) an integral and transversal teaching; (2) the cultural heritage should be passed on to new generations; (3) the need to contextualize learning; and (4) a digitalization of the teaching and learning process. The talk will end by discussing, among other things, the importance of paying attention to policy issues. The main conclusion is that we need to move at once from a content-based curriculum to another student-based.
