The present study focuses on two potential benefits of music education: social-emotional learning and education in values, in the context of training given in professional music conservatories in the subject of Musical Language. The qualitative methodology used, through the focus group technique, has made it possible to analyze the perceptions of teachers, students and families regarding these benefits. As a result of the analysis, a coincidence has been evidenced between the interlocutors about the importance that should be given to education in values and social-emotional learning in professional music conservatories, and, especially, with students who present specific needs. Despite the absence of evidence of conscious planning of social-emotional contents or those related to education in values in the subject of Musical Language, the participants perceive that the subject does contribute to their development. It is also pointed out as future improvements: the promotion of group work, interaction and intragroup cohesion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Con estas notas y temas no pretendo hacer una historia exhaustiva de la Escuela de Música sino dar una breve reseña de su trayectoria y aportar datos y anécdotas de los que he tenido conocimiento en el transcurso de distintos estudios sobre la música de Mendoza. La Escuela, como todavía la llamamos a pesar de sus cambios de nombre, es la institución pública de enseñanza musical más antigua de Mendoza y sus 70 años de vida son representativos de las problemáticas transformaciones de la sociedad mendocina y argentina.

The aim of this study is to describe what has occurred with the teaching of music at primary schools in the country. History teaches us that from ancient times music has been taken to be an integral part of education in many countries. In Venezuela, however, this discipline has not been considered a regular school subject in Elementary Education studies, occupying a secondary role. Nevertheless, albeit modestly, our governments have shown concern and have begun to include music as a cultural expression without, as yet, making it an obligatory part of scholastic study programs.

The adaptation of our actual degrees to the EHEA means a new approach to the teaching - learning process. Looking at it from that new perspective, the syllabus represents a useful tool because it allows to guide the students' learning, and to help the teachers to go towards the ECTS. In the following article we present a proposal of syllabus adapted to the subject -Viola Didactics? into the context of the Viola Pedagogy degree. Thus, we intend to contribute towards generating the long-awaited debate in the superior conservatories of music in Spain, given the new perspectives opened after the approval of the Organic Law of Education (LOE).
