To answer the question, it was defined as a general objective, to investigate how music teachers perceive the continuous formation in relation to the demands of Elementary School classroom in the municipal public network of the city of João Pessoa. The specific objectives were: to characterize the profile of music teachers working in the Elementary School of this network, to identify the objectives of continuing education offered to music teachers and analyze how music teachers describe their students and their schools. The discussions carried out throughout the dissertation have, as theoretical basis, concepts of continuing education, teaching music in basic education and cultural diversity (FREIRE, 1996; NEIDSON, 2001; IMBERNÓN, 2010; CANEN; XAVIER, 2011; LUHNING, 2013; QUEIROZ, 2013), as well as the Brazilian educational legislation. A quantitative research approach was adopted through the survey method with application of questionnaires containing objective and open questions with 34 teachers of music, as well as documentary research on continuing education promoted by the Municipal Government of João Pessoa. The data collected were statistically at the software Statistical Package Social Science (SPSS). The results obtained provide a panorama on the teaching of music in this network of education, presenting the profile of music teachers, the social and cultural diversity of contexts and the teachers' perception of continuing education in the face of the demands of their classrooms. The music teachers of the João Pessoa network consider the school contexts challenging, and continuing education is an opportune space for the search for solutions in facing the many questions present in the classrooms and in the school environment as a whole. In addition, the data reaffirm the importance of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) as the main training institution of these professionals, since the great majority is composed of graduates from UFPB. The information obtained can subsidize arguments with public administrations, constitute data that will be discussed in disciplines of the degree courses in music, especially the one of the UFPB and contribute to the discussion on this subject in the Brazilian musical education.
