| dc.description.abstract | The present study aims to assess the effect of the methodological proposal regarding the application of experimental music in the development of creative qualities in music students. The proposal includes resources such as soundscapes, improvisation, cheironomy, foley, unconventional scores, composition and interdisciplinary practices. It was applied in the José María Rodríguez Conservatory of Music, using a random sample of students from 13 to 17 years old, as part of a program of elective classes whose duration was four months. A test was administered before and after the intervention of the methodological proposal to measure the students’ levels of musical creativity, in particular to assess their development along the four parameters assumed as quantitative criteria: extensiveness, flexibility, originality and syntax. The analysis of the results revealed that the methodological proposal does contribute to the increase of the mastery levels of these parameters in the students, which verifies and validates the hypothesis of the investigation. In the study it was demonstrated that including experimental music in music education programs, using the theoretical basis and the resources of the proposal, go beyond the expectation of only producing creative professional artists, as in addition to this, it is possible to develop sensitivity to the environment and collaborative skills, aspects very necessary for successful performance in many professions and in life in general. | |
