Abstract

Music teaching helps to develop cognitive skills in students. As stated by Villanueva and Molero, students “receiving a musical education achieve better performance and results in spatial, temporal, mathematical, reading and verbal memory tasks” (2014). This positive effect is especially relevant in students with high intellectual abilities since music also helps to develop emotional intelligence and makes easier the interaction of this type of student with their environment (Swanwick, 1988). The University of Cádiz, together with the Regional Government of Andalusia, through its University Mentoring program aimed at the development of students with high intellectual abilities, offers different learning pathways every year for Secondary Education, High School Diploma and Intermediate and Advance Vocational Training Programs in the province of Cádiz. These workshops are aimed at encouraging this specific profile of students through targeted training in different areas of knowledge and mentoring by university teachers in small groups. This year, the Area of Didactics of Musical Expression of the Department of Didactics of Corporal, Plastic and Musical Education of the University of Cádiz has offered a workshop entitled Hearing and musical creation through ICT. This proposal pursued a main objective: to offer students free software tools that would allow them to acquire knowledge and skills about musical language autonomously and develop their musical creativity. In doing so, a qualitative methodology has been applied based on collaborative work among the students (13). They had to perform individual music composition and recording activities, which were presented to the rest of the students and modified according to the instructions of their classmates.
The results obtained have been very positive: a high level of commitment of students and families. The students have proved acquisition of musical knowledge and applied it in practical cases.
