A improvisação na guitarra elétrica : um olhar para o ensino realizado no curso de Licenciatura em Música.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the models and systems used with students in the practice of improvisation on the electric guitar instrument at the Federal University of Paraiba (UFPB), to discuss the notion of improvisation based on different authors; analyze how the practice of improvisation; check each student's style; understand the students' conceptions about improvisation; analyze how each student arrives at their improvised form and identify how students learn individually and collectively. The methodology used for data collection required semi-structured interviews with UFPB teachers and a questionnaire applied to two guitar teachers and eight UFPB students. The interpretation of the data obtained showed that the research subjects considered the study of improvisation as relevant to their training, as it helps in the processes of occupation of spaces in the market. The phenomenon of popular music at UFPB was also discussed, which brought significant advances to the area, however, the curricular components do not directly dialogue with the existing demands in the universe of urban music, in which some practices are still rooted in conservationist teaching models. The discussions regarding improvisation in the Licentiate course progress gradually in the process of inclusion of popular music teaching and learning practices. This work alerts to the existing challenges in the processes of inclusion of practices that contemplate the existing demands in the contexts in the music teaching scope.
