O processo de ensino e aprendizagem do saxofone na Filarmônica Municipal Maestro Antônio Josué de Lima a partir do olhar dos saxofonistas

Abstract

This work presents a reflection on the teaching-learning process of the saxophone in a municipal music band in the region of Paraíba's Cariri. The goal is to discuss the main concepts of the saxophonists who are members of the Municipal Philharmonic Maestro Antônio Josué de Lima about the teaching-learning processes developed in that context. For this, a qualitative research based on interviews was carried out. Semi-structured interviews were carried out by messaging application and by videoconference with the conductor and the 9 saxophonists that make up the current saxophone suit of the philharmonic. This work was based on studies in the area of music education, mainly those related to the processes of teaching and learning music in the context of bands. The results indicated that the teaching and learning of saxophone developed in the environment of the Municipal Philharmonic Maestro Antônio Josué de Lima was gradually modified over the years and moving away, in methodological terms, from practices that were developed in other times and that today they would be seen as outdated. In this way, the saxophone teaching-learning process developed at the Philharmonic has undergone some changes over the years, but it has always sought the best methodological paths for a result that would meet, in the most appropriate way possible, the musical and technical needs of saxophonists.
