Abstract

In the last few decades, the new technologies have acquired growing relevance in education. This is also true for musical and for specialized education, fields for which many computer programs designed to improve complementary education and self-teaching have been created and implemented. The case of musical rhythm shows some peculiarities, given we usually reach a better development of our rhythm capacities by means of movement. This article offers a theoretical reflection on the psychology of rhythm and movement, the processes of rhythmical learning in the time period coinciding with the elemental degree at the conservatories (8 to 12 years old), the contribution of new technologies in these fields, and some details that, in our opinion, rhythmical education software should cover in order to make said contribution a reality.
