This paper aims to explore the connection between music, neuroscience and pedagogy within the theoretical framework of bioeducational sciences. Specifically, the work highlights the role of music as an educational tool capable of activating complex cognitive, affective and social processes, supporting the global development of the individual according to an embodied approach. In particular, the didactic implications of neuroscientific discoveries in relation to musical learning are taken as a reference, highlighting the centrality of motivation, corporeality and the relational dimension in educational contexts. The contribution wants, therefore, to offer a theoretical-operational reflection for an inclusive and conscious music teaching, able to enhance the transformative potential of music in educational paths.

Abstract
This paper aims to explore the connection between music, neuroscience and pedagogy within the theoretical framework of bioeducational sciences. Specifically, the work highlights the role of music as an educational tool capable of activating complex cognitive, affective and social processes, supporting the global development of the individual according to an embodied approach. In particular, the didactic implications of neuroscientific discoveries in relation to musical learning are taken as a reference, highlighting the centrality of motivation, corporeality and the relational dimension in educational contexts. The contribution wants, therefore, to offer a theoretical-operational reflection for an inclusive and conscious music teaching, able to enhance the transformative potential of music in educational paths.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
