Instagram: espaço educativo para a pedagogia vocal.

Abstract

Social media, especially Instagram, allows users to engage in collective learning. In this context, this text presents a research on vocal pedagogy on Instagram, using as an empirical field the Instagram profile of the teacher, singer and researcher @drajaquemarxs. The objective of the research was to investigate the vocal pedagogy materiais published on Instagram and their pedagogical and communicational characteristics, characterize Instagram as an educational space, analyze the vocal pedagogy material published on Instagram and identify concepts and purposes of the use of vocal pedagogy that are present in this material. The methodology was a qualitative approach, with documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews as data collection strategies. The theoretical basis was studies on social media and education, social media and music education and vocal pedagogy. Regarding the main results, it was possible to perceive that the discussions in Brazil about vocal pedagogy and Instagram are still emerging, but above ali, fundamental, mainly because we can see the growing number of music professionals producing content on this media. In addition, it can be inferred that Instagram has its own characteristics, as well as specific functionalities, where the content needs, in a certain way, to be in line with the format and type oflanguage of the social media itself. In addition, the music teaching and learning that takes place on Instagram takes place in a space rnade up of accessible language, in a collaborative rnanner, with a strong visual appeal, where the information is presented in the present tense instead of the time in which it was produced, for different ages, different professional profiles from related areas, that is, areas that dialogue with each other. Regarding the concepts and purposes of using vocal pedagogy in the material investigated, these come from Jaque Marques' professionalexperiences - as a teacher, researcher, calls itself as vocal coach,singer and backing vocalist - and musical experiences - in lectures, training, mini courses, scientific events, publication of articles -. As for the purposes of the published content, the idea is to produce something also thought of as functional vocal training that results in conscious singing, with the aim of acquiring technical-vocal functions that respect one's own body. Furthermore, Instagram is no longer seen only as a space for entertainment and content creation; it has become a field of research, whether to seek to understand its potential when associated with education/musical education, or to see it as an object of study, as is the case in this work. Thus, Instagram, as a pedagogical space, transforms this type of research into an interesting path to be explored, as it complements existing discussions on the topic and stimulates new discoveries about this media, which can lead to new developments in investigations that consider Instagram as an object of study and an integrative environment for music education.
