Music Therapy in Adolescent Disruptive Behaviour

This research analyses the benefits of Music in the improvement of emotional intelligence, behaviour and school performance through an experience with a 4° ESO (the Spanish equivalent to England's Year 11) student group. Due to the impossibility of developing the educational work successfully, it was decided to put in practice a new model of work, designed combining knowledge of musical pedagogy, music therapy and emotional intelligence. For its development, different diagnostic instruments have been used in order to, once the results were obtained, redesign the work methodology in music class, and check the improvements in the parameters previously mentioned.
