CUERVO, Laura; BONASTRE, Carolina  and  GARCIA, Désirée. Digital technology in music education for children. Prax. Saber [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.32, e205.  Epub Feb 18, 2023. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v13.n32.2022.13201.

Today, education is undergoing profound changes to integrate digital technology into the teaching-learning process. The acquisition of digital competencies affects educational agents and the stages of education, but not with the same intensity. This study aims to explore the connection between technology and music education for children, by reviewing the scientific literature published in relevant scientific databases in the field of education-WoS, SCOPUS, and ERIC-during the last ten years. The three categories identified were: potential of resources in musical learning, non-musical learning, and the use of technology in teaching. The results show a low number of musical studies on technology and its effect on music and movement, since most of the research projects are focused on the improvement of sound exploration, music creation, and musical performance. It is possible to state that the use of technology in musical learning seems to be effective, since it improves both musical and non-musical learning.

Keywords : online learning; digitalization; music education; early childhood education; primary education.
