Abstract

This article analyzes the results of a life skills program in initial music teacher training with a group of 30 students. Through a set of activities, three interpersonal skills were worked on: empathy, cooperation and active listening, linked to four musical forms: verbal/vocal expression, instrumental expression, rhythm and movement, and musical creation. A qualitative research approach was chosen in order to understand the mediation of music in the development of the life skills worked on. Data were collected through observation, learning productions and interviews. The use of Atlas.ti software made it possible to sort the textual, visual and graphic data and to examine the associations between interpersonal skills and forms of musical expression. The results obtained reveal that the development of empathy as a teaching competence can be trained through music because its group practice requires social interaction and provokes the expression of positive feelings. Music promotes social skills such as cooperation, as an alternative to individualism, because it requires the collaboration of others in its realization. A collaboration that implies a proactive attitude towards the achievement of a common goal and generates emotional and physical well-being. Finally, active listening implies that the future teacher, in a dialogic process, understands and empathizes deeply with the message he/she is receiving. Through music, he/she can communicate efficiently and enable a better knowledge of the students that facilitates their harmonious and emotional development.
