Mulheres trompetistas : estudo multicaso acerca da preparação para performance de três trompetistas brasileiras

Abstract

This research focused on describing how the performance preparation of three Brazilian trumpet players active in symphony orchestras takes place. The specific objectives consisted of carrying out a questionnaire about the demographic profile of Brazilian trumpet players, collecting data with the three selected trumpet players, and describing the preparation for the performance in each case. For this, we will use the quantitative-qualitative method (Minayo; Sanches, 1993) and elements of a descriptive and exploratory nature characteristic of the “multicase study”. The quantitative collection of data for this research was the questionnaire, in which the questions were designed based on the scale proposed by Rensis Likert. The interviews followed a pattern of semi-structured questions (Gil, 1999). We focused on the synthesis of the concept of individual practice presented by Jorgensen (1995) and aspects of physical (technical-instrumental), artistic (interpretive) and psychological skills of Vincent Cichowicz’s theories. The results of the interviews were organized through tables, divided based on they called. Two stages: graphic sampling of data based on statements that summarize an idea common to trumpet players and description of the cases involved in the research. Through a careful analysis of the interviews carried out and the literature review, the study identifies important gaps in the existing knowledge about performance of trumpet players in the context of symphony orchestras in Brazil. Furthermore, by exploring topics such as performance anxiety and gender differences in technical and psychological preparation, the dissertation contributed to demystifying stereotypes and promoting a deeper understanding of the specific needs of Brazilian trumpet players.
