AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides a series of practical and theoretical training and suggests some strategies for a basic music literacy aimed at teaching.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The primary objective is to provide future teachers with a knowledge base that allows them to deal with music in the classroom in a conscious and non-amateur way, as often happens. At the same time, stimulate to know the history of music by inserting it in the more general historical-cultural context.
