Abstract

This article is a reflection about the use of the popular music in the classroom and about the most innovative teaching models which already are being used in many Western classrooms of Secondary Education. Although it could seem that the only utility of this sort of music is to obtain the motivation of the students, the most recent investigations show us that it also facilitates the learning of another type of contents and musical skills that would be difficult to teach using exclusively the classical music.
