The professional formation of musicians in Colombia is characterized by a varied offer of programs, which in keeping with that required by national legislation regarding careers in arts, include within their curriculum assignments on the History of Music, which are differentiated in: number of levels, number of credits, content orientation, and approach. Upon the implementation of these assignments, it is necessary to establish their pertinence in the construction of quality,on the formation of critical thought, on knowledge of musical culture; elements to interpret a style and for formative research, among others. For this purpose, a research project was conducted to characterize formation tendencies in music history in undergraduate or degree programs in Music in Colombia, as well as establish some related quality standards. The study was conducted during an 18-month period, taking as reference 12 of the undergraduate and degree academic programs in music recognized by the Ministerio de Educación Nacional (National Ministry of Education), selected from public and private education institutions. The study used descriptive analytic methodology, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches and it was developed in the following phases: 1) theoretical review; 2) field work; 3) data processing and analysis of results by using Atlas-ti software. From the determination of analysis categories, a national map was established of the formation in the History of Music, contrasting the conceptual and theoretical frameworks.
