Dialogo sonoro in chiave outdoor: la musica incontra l'ambiente

The essay examines en plein air music education as a formative hinge in which listening becomes a way of relating to the environment, capable of reshaping the quality of attention and the educator’s stance. The use of the category of soundscape and the conceptual practice of soundwalking makes it possible to read sound as a material weave that orients perception, participation, and a sense of belonging, while the idea of resonance helps to understand experience as a responsive relation that binds subject and world on ethical and environmental grounds. The review of projects and studies points to potential benefits for motivation and inclusion, yet it also highlights issues that remain decisive, especially teacher education, curricular integration, and shared evaluative criteria, with a specific focus on the Italian context and its possibilities for consolidation.
