A musicografia braile e o seu aprendizado: utilização de cifras de música em braile para o aprendizado de alunos cegos iniciantes

Abstract

The present work aims to report and think alternatives for the use of Braille musicography, using popular music ciphers to teach string instruments to beginner students with visual impairment at the Instituto dos Cegos da Paraíba. Starting from the need to use theoretical musical material in Braille that would allow beginner students to have the autonomy to study music in their own homes. In this way, I approach the articulation between social inclusion and Braille musicography. As a research methodology, I prepared Braille ciphered music for four Ukulele classes, where I investigated if the use of Braille ciphered lyrics would contribute to the teaching and learning process of the students. As the Braille Musicography is still a little explored field in the specialized schools of musical education in Brazil, this work seeks to approach possibilities to supply this demand.
