Didactic Sound Addition as Pedagogical Practice Around Film

Abstract

Didactic sound addition is a basic procedure for implementation in music classrooms in compulsory education. This strategy combines aspects of active musical methodologies (especially the use of instruments) with the need to analyze and interact with film products. It involves application of sounds on a specific audiovisual by the student. This sound insertion can be of various types: through live music or pre-recorded sounds, maintaining the original soundtrack, removing sounds from the original audiovisual, etc. In all cases, the potential benefits are obvious and the simplicity of the action model makes it easily applicable at all levels from the earliest ages. Attempts at motivating its generalization in the K-12 classroom environment are shown together with examples of the application of sound in its various modalities.
