Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the teaching and learning of singing for a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), seeking to understand how this process unfolds. In order to understand more about this subject, we formulated the following guiding research question: How is the teaching and learning of singing developed for individuals with ASD? Thus, the major goal of this research was to comprehend how the teaching and learning of singing are carried out for a student with ASD. Through semi-structured interviews and observations, this qualitative research aimed to identify, describe and analyse various aspects present in singing lessons for a student with ASD. In this perspective, we have reached some significant results for the field of singing education for individuals with ASD, such as the challenges faced by the teacher, her conception of singing lessons for a student with ASD, and the resources and activities she employed during the lessons, among others. Teaching singing to individuals with ASD is a challenging context that requires attention and further exploration. The reflections and insights gained through this research undeniably contribute to this field, recognizing that it represents just a small part of a vast scenario that demands more attention and preparation from teachers.
