The greguerías as teaching material for the expression of words, images, sounds and the body

Abstract

We present a didactic approach developed in the context of initial training for Early Childhood teachers in the subject Music Didactics. In this approach, starting from a relatively simple material like the greguerías, students were given the challenge of drawing up materials which contribute to the development of expression through different artistic languages (literary, plastic, musical and corporal) and using them as a means of learning contents from other fields of knowledge. Students also had to carry out a project of inquiry and reflection that allowed them to design suitable materials, evaluate their potential and programme activities for themselves. This proposal has provided an experience of creative processes from an inclusive standpoint, and thus contributed to the development of artistic thinking and a multidisciplinary vision.
