The purpose of this article is to highlight the potential of sound art as a pedagogical tool in Primary Education, combining a theoretical framework with a practical intervention proposal. The experience was carried out with a 4th grade class and unfolded over eight sessions in which sound was conceived both as a working material and as a means of expression. Among the activities implemented were sound walks, exercises related to synesthesia, and the creation of the school’s soundscape. The proposal was grounded in Place-Based Education (PBE), fostering students’ connection with their environment. The results, obtained through observation and surveys, reveal the project’s positive reception and underscore the educational value of sound art in the school context.
