Ensino de violão nas Escolas Municipais de João Pessoa : uma experiência a partir do Projeto da seção de Bandas Escolares, Música e Dança (SBE).

Abstract

Teaching guitar in basic education schools is no longer a utopia; the reality of this practice has been adopted in several cities throughout Brazil. One of these experiences takes place in some municipal schools in the city of João Pessoa - PB, through the Seção de Bandas Escolares, Música e Dança (SBE). Therefore, this research aimed to understand and analyze the main characteristics, how and why guitar teaching became part of the activities of the SBE project, carried out in public schools in the municipality of João Pessoa. As specific objectives I intended to: identify and understand what motivated the inclusion of guitar lessons into the project and its continuance; analyze the need for and meaning of guitar lessons as part of the project activities; understand and analyze how guitar lessons took place within the project. In the literature review and theoretical foundation, I researched publications on the teaching of musical instruments in basic education schools. The data was collected through semi structured interviews with the coordinator and two teachers who participate in the project. By analyzing the data obtained, it was possible to realize that the motivation for the emergence of this teaching practice in the SBE project came from the demand of students who expressed an interest in learning how to play the guitar and other instruments which are not part of the marching band, thus giving rise to the teaching of the guitar, recorder and cavaquinho.
