About me

My name is Emilia A. Campayo Muñoz. First of all, I would like to share with all of you that I designed this website with great enthusiasm and affection. I thank you in advance for spending part of your time reading the information that is collected here, otherwise the purpose of this project would not make sense.

To be placed in the context, I am going to briefly tell you about the journey that has brought me here. I have always been a very inquiring and curious child (in some way I still am and it is something that I think we should always keep). Searching beyond the most evident reality has been a necessity for me. This led me to start personal development work since I was young.

I have grown very close to artistic expression, which became a key tool for my personal development. Not surprisingly, I obtained the Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance and I worked as a teacher at Conservatories of Music for 15 years. It can be said that this is the focused of all my academic training to which I have dedicated practically all my life. I felt that the teaching implemented in these institutions is so far from promoting human development. This was what motivated me to start researching. In fact, my doctoral dissertation was developed around the topic of the development of emotional skills within musical education in conservatories. This new research stage in my academic career helped me glimpse new horizons about education, which I am passionate. My need to continue researching and disseminating my knowledge among future teachers at different educational levels was one of the main reasons why I left the conservatories and focused on university teaching. I am currently a lecturer in music at the Complutense University of Madrid, where I teach early childhood and primary education students teachers. However, my restless and non-conformist nature leads me to step forward and deepen. Although I am pleased with my contribuitions to the educational field so far, I consider it is, in part, superficial. I believe that education should address the different dimensions that make up the human BEING (mainly physical, emotional and spiritual) so that it responds to the true needs of the person. Promoting this aspect among teachers of different educational levels and specialties and families seems essential to me. It is for this reason that I decided to start this project, since the information must not only remain in the academic field, but must also reach a wide audience. We are all key players in EDUCATION, and each and every one of us is important. So, thanks for being there!

I hope this Corner is to your liking. I am open to know your improvement proposals regarding education in the case they are aligned with the educational approach that I suggest. It adds up!
