Relativización de la importancia de la partitura en la educación musical : unas consecuencias pedagógicas

Abstract

This written piece of work proposes a critic look at the actual role the occidental conventional score has in the formal education level. Moreover, following Charles Seeger’s musicologist proposal, this text also intends to show a reflection on the ontological character of scores as a tool of descriptive and prescriptive use, resulting three pedagogical consequences appearing from making the score importance relative at present. In other words, widening the musical notation notion, giving privilege to a resonant-corporal musical education, and insisting on a better use of technologies in recording and reproduction techniques in the classroom. As a final point, it is important to highlight that making the score importance relative can lead us to a resonant-corporal education instead of to a rationalized one which consequently may not be widely read but lived.
