The current project assesses an interdisciplinary didactic method of teaching economic theory through music, in the context of Senior Greek High School. The research uses modern music tracks in teaching the subject “Principles of Economics” in the final year of Greek Secondary Education. The purpose of this research is to observe the attitudes and perceptions of students when applying this innovative teaching process and to examine the extent to which music can be implemented in the improvement of student and teaching learning.
