Development of the students' cognitive processes through interdisciplinary approaches

Summary/Abstract: Music influences and, in turn, is influenced by other disciplines. Its vital and dynamic presence in our lives determines an interdisciplinary approach to general music. This article seeks to describe the principles and purposes of such an approach, as well as the characteristics of an interdisciplinary option that can influence students' cognitive development, attitude formation, and the development of musical skills. Music training induces changes in children's brains and behavior, thus supporting the power of music education in the child's cognitive development. Music teachers can create interpretive spaces in which research-based projects open up opportunities for expressive and creative experiences. This analysis explores ways for the future development of interdisciplinary perspectives, including dispositions, skills, and understandings that lead to interdisciplinary teaching, the development of students' relational thinking in various fields, and pedagogical strategies that foster meaningful connections.
