RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, Mauricio. Active Methodologies in Elementary Music Teaching: Game-Based Learning with Boomwhackers. Educ. Form. [online]. 2023, vol.8, e11203.  Epub 06-Abr-2024. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v8.e11203.

The need to develop cognitive, motor and emotional benefits in the primary education music classroom makes it necessary to provide future teachers of the Degree in Education with tools and methodologies capable of motivating students. This action research article, which poses the research question: can musical games improve learning through the development of musical skills using boomwhackers? presents the work developed with students of the Degree in Primary Education during the 2022 and 2023 courses applying game-based learning with boomwhackers to develop the curriculum of the didactic subject of music education in Primary Education. As Lafuente (2019) defends, project work is essential to improve performance and motivate students. In addition, it is necessary to link musical experiences in the classroom with the interests and experiences of the students (Giráldez, 2019), using learning based on games with practical instruments like boomwhackers. The boomwhackers game-based learning project enhances active and participatory music learning. More than 90% of participants plan to use game-based learning and boomwhackers in their future teaching practice in primary education.
