Abstract

This research purpose was the design of a pedagogical proposal that contributes to the musical awareness of the hearing impaired population of the Institución Educativa Normal Superior in Neiva city, as a way to contribute in the didactics of inclusive music education, applying a qualitative research methodological approach, with an exploratory, descriptive and participatory design, using documentary analysis, participant observation and interview as instruments for data collection. The sample of the study population considered 12 deaf children, out of 48 in total that exists in the afternoon session, with diversity in their hearing impairment, with whom a series of musical perception workshops were conducted, exposing them to the vibrations and qualities of music. It was found that the deaf population under study, has a great affinity with music, but little approach, because they have not been allowed to access it, much less include it in their curriculum, violating the right to attend music class with their hearing peers. In general, it is concluded that in art there are no barriers and that, undoubtedly, there are no better or worse ways of perceiving music, but simply different and equally valid for everyone, generating a search for actions that allow the acceptance of the deaf person as an individual, who, because of their linguistic difference, needs additional and specialized support.
