Resumen
Music is inherent to mankind. It accompanies us throughout all our lives, from the time we are in our mother’s womb (the heartbeats of the mother) until we die. It has the power to change our mood; it stimultates basic physicological processes, such as perception, attention and memory; it is universal as it has no barriers or frontiers; it promotes creativity and, thus, thinking and sentiments. In addition, it is verbal and non verbal communication. The fact of having theoretical knowledge, like the one offered here, that can be put into practice, allows us to understand when sharing materials; it allows us to analyse musical pieces, value their musical quality and be critical. Nowdays, a lot of resources exist within reach of most people: books, journals, events, etc.., everything is available on the Internet. Each day more people with more training offer materials adapted to all levels, tastes and ages, turning knowledge into a universal right. We all collaborate and share; music is endless. The aim of this paper is precisely this: to be a guide of basic musical aspects (types of intervals and key signature) so that any person, preferibly children, can understand making music education as a right from the first school stages. Contents are a tool that allows us to analyse and understand different types of music (such as current commercial music, which is generally quite simple) and to be able to appreciate other more complex and interesting styles
