“Onde é o som da música?”: O Aprender além das notas musicais pelos olhos de uma criança

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the ways in which the teaching of music is being implemented in the schools of children's musicalization in the city of Santarém- PA, based on Law No. 11769 of 2008, in which it determines the teaching of art from the sociocultural context in which the student is inserted. Data collection was given by participant observation within schools and through unstructured conversations with children, parents and teachers. The theoretical- methodological basis was done with some authors of anthropology, sociology and pedagogy. The research aimed to identify music as an important mediating element for the disciplinary development and appropriation of children's bodies within the Children's Musicization Schools in the city of Santarém - PA within the anthropological field. We try to explain here some problems about music education in the current context where it was found that children are being molded and disciplined from musical learning according to the perspectives of the body according to the teaching-learning conceptions of teachers and schools, ignoring their experiences outside this school space. Within vocational schools, musical knowledge ends up prioritizing knowledge through musical notes in favor of "good music", conceiving this musical learning with the synonym of good citizen. The research also shows the need for other studies that place the child as subject to and from action.
