Description of methods used for collection-generation of data: Information retrieval was carried out during 2022 after implementing the music programme in the educational centre in the city of Burgos. For this purpose, the CER questionnaire was used together with a Signs Inventory to quickly and reliably determine the stimulation of attention and social skills after the use of musical techniques with second cycle EI pupils before and after the intervention. Finally, for the evaluation of the programme itself, a procedural and final evaluation of the programme was used with the CEP and CEF questionnaires. FILE INFORMATION 1.
