- Technology-mediated music learning processes.This line involves different lines of work: 1) research on the effectiveness of modes of presentation in uni- bi- and multimodal music information systems in music teaching and learning processes using technological mediators and digital objects; 2) design of learning materials through the use of digital learning objects; 3) design of music learning software.
- Training processes for music education teachers.This line is related to the investigation of the ways in which teachers in initial teacher training construct meanings in relation to music. If these ways of meaning music are known, the processes of construction of musical knowledge (procedural and declarative) can also be known, and contributions can be made to the knowledge of initial and continuous teacher training, as well as to the training processes from pedagogy and didactics.
- Processes of non-formal music training in socio-educational contexts.Enquiry into the characteristics of musical learning processes in non-formal education contexts, mainly in music schools, band students and amateur training in general (cognitive strategies, study strategies, intrinsic-extrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and other constructs).
- Musical performativity and creation.The purpose of this line is to investigate educational processes in relation to musical performance, improvisation and creation, in particular the types and processes of memory involved in performance and improvisation, study strategies, stage fright, motivation, the role of ways of presenting information, differences between formally trained musicians and non-formally trained musicians (self-control, self-esteem, discipline, trainable skills such as the number and size of saccades or saccadic movements through eye-tracking, etc.).
