Due to the lack of research in the field of music through CLIL and ICT in Secondary Education in Spain, we propose to merge this subject with an innovative methodology. The general objective is to present a different approach to students in order to increase their motivation for the subject. The specific objectives are to teach music in English by integrating content, cognition and vocabulary through communication and the use of new technologies. This approach makes the design and implementation didactic, audiovisual and multimedia. Cuadernia: digital notebook composed of flash files, videos and audios, and gamification strategies. Quizziz: multiplayer questionnaire of class contents, based on teaching music through a cooperative methodology and gamification, are applied as options with a great educational projection, with information and innovative pedagogical experiences and potential to work together in the classroom with different levels of the subject. The results that follow the Likert scale reflect high student satisfaction with regard to teaching methodology, content acquisition, teacher training, ICT and resources. As a conclusion, of the coincident results between the professor and the students, we would like to implement it in the coming years.

The enormous development of information and communication technologies (ITC) and the expansion of the Internet have sparked a real revolution for the world of music, providing resources for music educators of all levels. Therefore, bilingual teaching is using new methodologies such as CLIL-AICLE, which finds in ICT an excellent resource to improve teaching practice, promoting the development of digital competence in students, as well as learning a foreign language. We justify the use of this educational blog: My Musical corner, http://mymusicalconer.blogspot.com/ , which deals with the use and implementation of teaching and multimedia resources on Music in English. The main objective being to achieve a more effective communication of music in English enabling the formative and socializing dimension in our students. This work is conceived through a practical, cooperative and student-centered methodology, with an active, collaborative and communicative design suitable for comprehensive education. The results demonstrate that it can be an extraordinary learning tool in the educational context, as it offers an effective, attractive and easily accessible means to enrich the Secondary Education curriculum and the activities developed in the bilingual music classroom.El enorme desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) y la expansión de Internet, han provocado una auténtica revolución para el mundo de la música, proporcionando nuevos recursos para los educadores musicales de todos los niveles. Por lo tanto, la enseñanza bilingüe está empleando nuevas metodologías como CLIL-AICLE, que encuentra en las TIC un excelente recurso para mejorar la práctica docente, favoreciendo el desarrollo de la competencia digital en el alumnado, así como facilitando el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. Justificamos el uso de este blog educativo: My Musical corner, http://mymusicalconer.blogspot.com/, que versa sobre la utilización y puesta en práctica de recursos didácticos y multimedia sobre música en inglés. El objetivo principal es lograr una comunicación más efectiva de la música en inglés permitiendo la dimensión formativa y socializadora de nuestros estudiantes. Este trabajo se concibe a través de una metodología práctica, cooperativa y centrada en el estudiante, con un diseño activo, colaborativo y comunicativo adecuado para una educación integral. Los resultados demuestran que puede ser una herramienta de aprendizaje extraordinaria en el contexto educativo, ya que ofrece un medio eficaz, atractivo y de fácil acceso para enriquecer el currículo de Educación Secundaria y las actividades desarrolladas en el aula de música bilingüe.

Picture books which were implemented through Wanga Gag’s Millions of Cats have been proven to be an excellent resource because images opposed to words have a leading role. This resource also becomes a perfect ally for digital natives who are appealed to images and with the use of ICT tools turns it into a more appealing and engaging experience.The picture book titled Press Here by Herve Tullet has been used to work the 4Cs of CLIL (Content, Culture, Communication and Cognition) through non-linguistic subjects (Art, Math and Music). Cuadernia due to its flexibility and easiness it is the most suitable ICT tool to introduce a picture book through CLIL methodology at early stages. Different tasks to work Art like the result of mixing primary colors or a video to consolidate the shape of a circle help students to activate their prior knowledge in a visual way. Math was also introduced through Cuadernia with the aim to learn counting until 5 through bottle caps and associated to colors. Lastly, Music together with the shape of the circles was displayed showing finger paint. For all the previously stated ideas, it is highly recommended to use a software like Cuadernia to work any picture book through bilingual methodology because it will broaden students’ knowledge and allow them to practice in a more dynamic and attractive environment.
