Harmonic knowledge as strategy to improve comprehension, motivation and creativity in ear training learning
Abstract
In our Western sociocultural context, the vast majority of the music that it is produced and consumed is based on the tonal-harmonic system, which organises musical discourse thanks to the combination of chords with tension and release. In an attempt to improve the musical training of students and facilitate the acquisition of knowledge, different methodological proposals have been designed, implemented and evaluated from a tonal context in the Ear Training subject. Students of the two first courses in the elementary level at the Professional Conservatory of Music in Segovia have taken part in this study. The research included in this paper shows clearly that the suggested activities have been really useful to offer holistic, meaningful and motivating education to students, have fostered their creative abilities and have enabled them to write songs.
