Heritage through Music Education
Approached in the Primary Education curriculum
Abstract
According to the educational legislation Music Education has among its objectives the challenge of knowing, taking care and transmitting the cultural heritage, since music constitutes an irreplaceable part of it. It is in this context that this study takes place, which aims at analysing the way heritage is approached within Music Education in the 17 Autonomous Decrees or Orders which regulate the Primary Education curriculum in Spanish territory. The results show differences in the teaching load and in the presence of content related to musical heritage between the communities. An issue that should be borne in mind in curriculum revision processes, to achieve a Musical Education that grants that the new generations know, and therefore understand and value their musical legacy.
