The teaching of music in its relation to oculo-manual coordination: a theoretical review

Abstract

This research is focusing on the bibliographic review on the Oculo-manual coordination (COM) in teaching of music texts, a subject linked to the health sciences that has been increasing along last two decades due to its application as a pedagogical and methodological resource. The research is developed in two parts: In the first, a recognition is made about the new interdisciplinary approach in which Musical education is found in the 21st century, and as a conceptual framework, it addresses generalities about psychomotor development and hand-eye coordination in its relationship with teaching of the music. In the second part, a conceptual and disciplinary analysis of these texts is demonstrated, proposing a classification of their theoretical approaches. Here, we can distinguish the following works: teaching-learning proposals focusing on the process of musical reading, materials generated specifically for the didactics of musical language, and proposals for exercises applied to instrumental teaching. The conclusions prove how these theoretical approaches by the music educator have been motivated fundamentally by their interest in optimizing their teaching quality.
