Right recruitment, right training and right induction followed by faultless monitoring and welfare measures are but decisive factors in business and industry. Altogether there is a constant attention up on human factor there. But this is not a practice at all in education.

Canciones populares granadinas: un proyecto de innovación en la formación de los maestros de música

Entre las tareas complementarias de la Titulación de Magisterio en la especialidad de Educación Musical de la Universidad de Granada, se lleva a cabo desde el curso académico 1996-97 y hasta la actualidad de manera ininterrumpida, una actividad singular protagonizada por los estudiantes de esta titulación que anualmente solicitan participar en el Coro de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación; surgió como un instrumento de acercamiento a la música coral para los estudiantes universitarios, pero con el paso del tiempo ha ido abriendo el espacio de su actuación a otras competencias propias de un grupo mixto vinculado a tareas educativas y culturales. Por esta razón ha ampliado el campo de sus actividades dirigiendo la atención no sólo hacia la interpretación de obras del repertorio polifónico, sino también hacia la producción de conciertos escolares y la elaboración de recursos y materiales didácticos, como sucede con este proyecto de innovación docente en torno a las Canciones populares granadinas. En este contexto, el Coro se constituye como un grupo de trabajo e investigación interdisciplinar para llevar a cabo estas tareas, y así desarrolla por primera vez un proyecto monográfico de semejantes características, aunque la experiencia colaborativa del trabajo en equipo forma ya parte de la esencia misma del Coro como agrupación vocal. Igualmente, es preciso subrayar que este grupo cuenta con experiencias en otras tareas de innovación, experimentación e investigación con el diseño de guiones y producciones didácticas puestas en práctica en conciertos escolares ofrecidos en distintos centros educativos. Este trabajo ha consistido en la edición de un audio-libro basado en la música tradicional de distintas comarcas de la provincia de Granada, extraído de diversas fuentes ya publicadas, con el fin de difundir repertorios vocales de música popular en los centros educativos, a través de la grabación, estudio, aplicación y análisis de las obras que se han publicado
