How can we use music to work on emotions with students?
Music offers us a vast field of possibilities while also being a common and ever-present element in the world of young people. We could, for example, develop activities that connect different musical styles with real-life situations for students in which a specific emotion predominates, and from there investigate how they feel and what produces that feeling.
A very recent and interesting experience in the field of youth and mental health is the "Escolta l'Art" project, which has been running in Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) since 2019. This initiative, aimed at young people with firsthand experience, offers an opportunity to develop tools for personal growth and self-care through experimentation and creation in different artistic formats. The participants themselves are the primary and sole protagonists, exercising their creative freedom.
