Abstract:
Musical Hearing is the first passage in the musical education. Before the child begins to learn musical language or to play some instrument, he must have the educated ear, although he is at a very elementary level. The education of the ear is obtained only by means of musical hearing. Hearing will cause that the boy is more familiarized with music and its kind of listening to identify certain parameters and will create a greater predisposition to him at the time of dedicating himself more to the music in a specialized way (in schools of music or conservatories). In addition, hearing will contribute to the promotion of the formation of the musical memory and to critical, emotional, reflective and creative the capacity of the child. In this study we will try to approach us the definition of musical hearing and to program hearing to work with the pupils of primary in the three cycles based on the age, the social and cultural surroundings and the difficulties in the understanding of works. The selection and programming of hearing will adjust the different characteristics of the pupils according to the diverse cycles of the Elementary Education, although a series of works can be selected to orientative level. In addition, we will propose objectives to obtain, contained to work and activities that can be worked with musical hearing in the three cycles of this level.
