Efectividad del método Orff en el aprendizaje rítmico-musical de niños de 6 y 7 años

Abstract

Abstract: Rhythmic-musical reading is essential when learning music, however, this learning is interrupted when students are unable to correctly execute the figures in the corresponding time. Even on several occasions, students manage to learn the value of each figure, but not how to play them through musical reading. According to Sánchez (1996), for years the musical methodology has experienced thousands of changes and advancements, proposing various teaching methods with the aim of making musical learning more effective. Among the different methods are: Dalcroze Method: Its essential factor is the use of body movements. Ward Method: It encompasses singing and classical music, emphasizing the importance of vocal education. Martenot Method: Its key point is body relaxation. Kódály Method: Its main teaching medium is folk music. Orff Method: It involves rhythmic sense, spoken language, and body movements. These methods propose different methodologies and techniques, which are used by teachers in the music field. However, this essay will specifically discuss the Orff method, as it is a method that unifies dance, music, and the body as a way to generate sounds. Additionally, it has various advantages for children, such as participation and active listening, language development, and empathy towards others.
