In the 1850s an intellectual movement known as 'Rexurdimento' arose in Galicia. This cultural movement sought the recovery of Galician linguistic and cultural identity. This is currently indisputable; however, the preservation and dissemination of our musical heritage is not so evident. The objective of this research is to check if there have been differences in the results concerning the use of musical folklore in classrooms of current Galician schools compared to the results of the research by Chao-Fernández (2010). contributing in this manner to the preservation and transmission of musical heritage. The research has been carried out on the basis of a mixed model, comparing the results of a questionnaire applied in the 2003/04 and 2018/19 academic years, with a sample of 304 teachers and an interview with 7 teachers.

Likewise, teaching is limited to few songs, dances, and instruments of Galician folklore. In conclusion, the authors find that the Galician school does not contribute to the preservation of the musical heritage. A mediados del s.

La investigación se ha llevado a cabo bajo los fundamentos de un modelo mixto, comparando los resultados de un cuestionario aplicado en los ...
