This research focuses on the application of Musical Theatre in the subject of Music Theory, in specialized Music
Education.
The issue to be explored is related to the development of new creative approaches in Music Theory Education,
showing how Musical Theatre, through song, movement and performance, can contribute, as a pedagogic resource, to
the implementation of strategies to promote musical, conceptual, attitudinal and motivation skills in musical learning.
The methodology applied was action research, taking a first-grade Music Theory class as the target population. In
addition to bibliographical research, use was made of research instruments such as surveys through questionnaires,
reflective summaries of classes and observation grids.
According to the evidence presented in the course of the study, the strategies adopted reveal a significant
improvement in students’ musical skills and knowledge, despite the limitations caused by Covid-19, positively
contributing to their motivation and interest in the exploitation of musical content. In this sense, we conclude that the
results obtained throughout the study reveal that the practical application of Musical Theatre in Music Theory classes
can be a very significant pedagogical resource, substantially improving knowledge acquisition, interest and motivation
for musical learning.
