Banda Masculina Acordes Celestes : sua influência na identidade musical e na formação profissional dos músicos.

Abstract

This paper discusses the trajectory of the Male Band Acordes Celestes of the Evangelical Church Assembly of God in Abreu e Lima Pernambuco, from its foundation, through the influence of military bands in training and discipline, to the foundation of the Assembly of God Music School and its teaching methodology, highlighting its importance in the professional training of musicians. The research methodology was based on five interviews, three conductors who worked for the band and two members. We sought to analyze and understand the influence of the Banda Masculina Acordes Celestes and its preparatory course in the formation of the musical and professional identity of its members inside and outside it, in order to understand the relevance that the gospel band has, both in the religious and also in the personal and professional lives of those who have gone through it.
