especializacion aprendizaje musical adultos

Según un estudio reciente publicado en la revista ‘Neuron’, el declive mental asociado a la edad se debe, principalmente, al deterioro de las interneuronas colinérgicas gigantes del estriado, las cuales están implicadas en la renovación del aprendizaje. En base a ello, los niños y los adultos poseen una capacidad diferente para adquirir nuevos conocimientos, siendo en los más pequeños una actividad que se realiza con mayor facilidad. Esto es aplicable a todos los ámbitos, incluido el musical, por lo que, si el docente quiere impartirles clase, es necesario que disponga de las herramientas pedagógicas adaptadas a sus características cognitivas y a las necesidades que puedan surgir a raíz de su edad.

Para ello puede contar con este completísimo Experto Universitario en Musical Learning for Adults, una titulación dinámica y exhaustiva a través de la cual el egresado podrá ahondar en las claves del lenguaje musical y en la didáctica para personas mayores, centrándose en las estrategias académicas que mejores resultados han tenido hasta ahora con este tipo de alumnos. Además, la titulación hace especial hincapié en la educación auditiva a través del conocimiento intensivo de los elementos que constituyen los sonidos y la propia actividad.

Así, a través de una experiencia académica totalmente diseñada por expertos en Musicología y Docencia, podrá implementar a su praxis las estrategias más efectivas, contribuyendo a una enseñanza efectiva y eficaz a través de una capacitación universitaria 100% online. Pero eso no es todo, ya que contará con 600 horas de contenido diverso, desde el temario a casos prácticos y material adicional presentado en diferentes formatos: vídeos al detalle, artículos de investigación, lecturas complementarias, ejercicios de autoconocimiento, resúmenes dinámicos y preguntas frecuentes resueltas por el equipo de especialistas. Todo ello estará alojado en el Campus Virtual, al cual podrá acceder sin límites y desde cualquier dispositivo con conexión a internet.

Con la membresía en la National Art Education Association (NAEA), el egresado accederá a una red global de educadores en artes visuales, capacitación profesional online, descuentos en eventos, suscripciones a revistas especializadas y oportunidades de becas y liderazgo.
