Em busca de um canto pessoal : experiência de vida e pedagogias vocais.

Abstract

This work emerged due to my concern as a son of the backlands of Paraíba, lack of possibilities for formal education as far as music teaching is concerned, with no specialized schools in almost the entire interior of the State; reality that forces us to come to the capital, in search of a deeper understanding that, most of the time, arises from intuition, will, family heritage, influenced by the media, experiences in choirs or religious groups, through school marching bands, popular demonstrations cultural roots of cities. Using the interview resource, carried out with people of the same age group, born and with childhood and adolescence in the interior of Paraíba between the 1980s and early 2000s, the objective was to research the converging points (memories, life experiences, family influences/values, difficulties regarding the study of music and singing), as well as the importance of formal study, with the arrival to the capital João Pessoa. In the Final Considerations, the need to implement specialized schools all over the interior of the State, the fundamental recognition of technical study (such as health and interpretive resources), as well as the understanding of technique in addition to memories, personal experiences, without ever losing the roots, in the construction of a vocal and artistic personality.
