Music and Creativity as Educational Strategies for Sociability. Group Dynamics with Students Pursuing Educational Degrees from the Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid.
Abstract: This research work deals with making use of resources related to musical instruction in order
to generate strategies for achieving the following objectives: 1) establishing group interaction
where cooperative relationships are defined and the roles and forms of leadership are distributed
under the logic of group dynamics; 2) stimulating creativity related to musical improvisation
based on producing simple sound and rhythmic structures; 3) achieving a state when students are
capable of acquiring a musical experience, regardless of whether they have any academic training
in conservatories or music schools. In order to achieve these objectives, we have applied such
musical resources as percussion instruments (triangles, metallophones, tambourines, Chinese
boxes, tom-toms...), proposed unconventional forms of musical notation and resorted to the use of
percussion instruments from the Afro-Caribbean region (bongos, congas and timbales) as means
for improvisation. In the latter instance, the aim is to generate group dynamics by use of resources
linked to the art of sound. Stemming from a group vision of university education, the experience of
a methodology centred on music is proposed as a means of provoking and arousing the dynamics
of sociability, which is necessary for achieving integral formation for students.
