Abstract

With the worldwide rise of the musical genre popularly known as Worship Music, or Modern Worship Music, there is a growth in the interest of drummers around the world, especially the younger ones, about it. It is not different in Brazil. Therefore, the present work deals with a case study on the formation of drummers of the Cidade Viva church, in João Pessoa, in the sound context of Modern Worship Music. That said, the objective of this work is to understand how the process of musical formation of drummers in the performance and in the musical production of Worship Music in the Cidade Viva church is developed. Currently, it has twenty active drummers. So, based on that, we used two collection instruments as a field research methodology: observation and the online questionnaire. The results obtained show the existing diversities in the teaching-learning processes of the participants - and the time of experience of each one within the musical context of the Cidade Viva church - for their different age groups, in addition to their respective approaches regarding to the sound of Worship Music.
