Artistic education today involves a superior amount of effort compared to previous decades; with no intention of discrediting the quality and rigor exerted, in the past, student, group and teacher shared gradually ideas, resources, techniques and emotions inside and outside the classroom. Currently, the process is accelerating; the considerable amount of research on, about and for the sake of art, along with the technological impact and the existence of social networks that facilitate sharing, stimulates information inequalities, which assign new challenges to the teacher: to foster creativity and motivation towards studying, while offering the student suitable tools to assimilate the available set of information. This is possible when teaching and research are integrated, a recurring theme in forums and educational events, which motivates the objective of this work, which is to consider the potential of the research process in music teaching. An analysis of documents and the results of a non-structured group debate offered alternatives to exploit the potential of the research process in music teaching.
