Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study that evaluated the impact of musical training processes in public schools of Bogotá in the first phase of the local administration’s program ‘Proyecto Jornada Escolar 40 Horas’. An interdisciplinary team (music, education, and psychology) evaluated a population of approximately 373 students from 29 schools. We obtained a diagnosis of the development of musical knowledge of the students, as well as of the impact of educational processes on non-musical dimensions such as self-concept, self-esteem, empathy and motivation. The quality and scope of teaching strategies used in the classroom, the perception of the process by students, teachers, parents and principals of schools; the level of adequacy of infrastructure and material resources used, were also diagnosed. . The final product of the project is a battery of tests that may be useful for short and medium term monitoring of this public program and its impact on the dimensions addressed throughout the study.
