Sistemas de notación musical alternativos (II): Una aproximación a la grafía del ritmo duracional

Abstract

The acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities related to the reading and writing of music implies a degree of considerable difficulty. Traditional approaches to music education are directed toward the knowled- ge of western music notation symbols. Its aim is that the student can used, so precise and effective, a system specific and exten- ded universally decrypted scores or score musical ideas invented or heard. However, we consider interesting and effective use of alternative spellings, as an intermediate step, before presenting the pace and the metric through conventional notation. The practice of these systems is well suited for learning music in the pre-school and pri- mary stage, adapts to the level and “psy- choevolutive” of the child developmentand enhances their motivation and inter- est. Under this heading, we started a series of didactic proposals for musical initiation school.
