The relationship between human beings X music involves an intense change of paradigms. The improvement and democratization of new technologies have irreparably transformed modes of listening, composition, production and learning due to the multiplatform access to music content – in its most diverse formats – by media facilitators. Still, we were forcefully presented in a multitasking perspective, where the ability to concentrate, inhibitory control, working memory and several other cognitive resources of higher functions were met by the ephemerality and exacerbated amount of information coming from digital media, influencing definitively – among others other spheres of life – the process of learning-teaching music. Under the social panorama of the technological and informational revolution, advances in the area of cognition and neuroscience have been taken towards a more precise understanding of the impact of musical activity on society and on the individual, allowing the community to more assertively assess the effects of music learning on the brain. Based on these advantages, the research aims to investigate the different types of focused attention in music learning, and intends to develop a theoretical construct of the process of musical learning and development in the multitasking era under the aegis of cognition and neuroscience, to provide support for a more attentive approach to contemporary times.
