• Resumen

  • Musical expression and instrumental interpretation in the context of professional education is field of knowledge based on practice and artistic action, and has grown into what has been called Performative Studies. Within artistic experience and musical teaching, questions about the relationship between the theory of practice and the practice of theory are linked. In this way, the problem of teaching musical interpretation derives from the study of a work and its scenic reality, as well as the knowledge of teaching-learning processes insofar as design, planning and decision making. Learning is, thus, determined by a series of resources and materials that integrate the concepts and stylistic criteria of a language and a specific aesthetic with the development of mechanical/ technical skills and the expressive attitudes typical of scene communication. In music education for professional piano studies, the didactic medium concept is manifested under the conventional curricular principles as a repertoire, which follows proposed objectives and educational contents, as well as the methodological criteria of the context. Therefore, the repertoire may be seen as a duality: a material for using the didactic knowledge of a specific content and as a single object to be interpreted. We aim to investigate the potential of the repertoire in musical training for the pianist by analysing the concretion of tools for its study, the knowledge of their didactic use and the identification of elements involved in the selection process
