Research

Research at the intersection of music pedagogy, perception, educational technology, and inclusion.

My research is located at the intersection of music pedagogy, perception, educational technology, and inclusion. It starts from a central question: how to make music visible in order to expand its understanding, expressive capacity, and accessibility.

Through the study of synesthesia, multisensory learning, and sound visualization, I develop proposals that connect musical experience with visual, digital, and pedagogical resources. Technology is not understood as an end in itself, but as a tool for mediating between sound, image, body, and learning.

This line of work has been applied in real educational contexts, especially in secondary education, where music visualization contributes to increasing student motivation and making abstract musical concepts easier to understand.

The goal is to generate knowledge that can be transferred to schools, conservatories, universities, innovation projects, conferences, and spaces for interdisciplinary creation.

Applied Research

This research is not limited to a theoretical framework, but is oriented toward concrete applications in the classroom, cultural mediation, artistic creation, and the development of digital tools for music education.

Through this line of work, I aim to create bridges between research, teaching practice, and innovation, generating resources that can be used, adapted, and developed in collaboration with other institutions, educational centers, and professionals in artistic and technological fields.

Research Lines

  • Music, color, and perception Study of the relationships between sound, color, and perceptual experience as a way to understand and represent music from a visual and creative perspective.
  • Sound visualization Design of visual representations of musical parameters such as pitch, rhythm, duration, form, and structure.
  • Multisensory learning Exploration of methodologies that integrate listening, vision, body, and creativity to support more meaningful music learning.
  • Accessibility and inclusion Development of strategies that broaden access to music for students with different profiles, needs, and learning styles.
  • Educational technology and artificial intelligence Research on digital tools, programming, and AI applied to music teaching and new forms of pedagogical creation.
