A construção de um coral na EE João Batista Hermeto: diálogos entre a música, juventude e currículo

Abstract

This project arose with the intention of researching on how music is inserted in the daily life of high school students of the State School Doctor João Batista Hermeto of the municipality of Lavras - Minas Gerais and, at the same time, explore the possible potentials as a teaching strategy and to establish a dialogue in the current curriculum at the School. The way to establish this dialogue was initiated with the implementation of a Choir composed by students who, from our visit to the School, freely expressed their interest in forming a group with activities in the afternoon at the space of School and, sometimes, at spaces of the University. This work was coordinated by the researcher and conducted together with the Regent and some participants of the Vozes do Campus Choir (UFLA). This research proposal arose from the interest in knowing how music stimulates youth and how it is approached in the School, since music is closely linked to the sociocultural context of the individual and social experiences of groups. This research has a qualitative perspective of theoretical-empirical nature, and was carried out through an Action Research in this school. For data collection we used a semi-structured interview, combining open and closed questions, at which time the interviewee was able to explain about the topic from the proposed problematizations. The analysis of the data was made through the Content Analysis method. From this work, it is expected that students and educators will understand the potential of music in life and in dayto-day activities, both inside and outside schools, making it possible to establish relationships between art, in this case music, and the development of the students in educational processes that seek an integral, integrating and humanizing perspective. It is also intended for this experience to be a mobilizer of policies and projects in the context of institutions of higher education and public basic education, in a collaborative way.
