The Music Training of General Primary Education Teachers

Yurima Blanco and Alicia Peñalba, members of the PROFMUS project, present a publication that collects a case study on the musical training received by future Primary Education teachers in a Spanish university. The research analyzes the profile of students and teachers, the balance between musical and didactic contents, the use of ICT, the development of creativity, autonomy and the presence of diverse music and cultures. It is concluded that the teaching of music does not seem sufficient to implement its knowledge in primary school classrooms. Factors such as the large number of students, the use of non-specific classrooms or the lack of quality musical references present points of tension in this initial training.
