Projeto música na escola: o ensino da música através de políticas públicas na cidade de Santarém – PA.

Abstract

The municipality of Santarém, in the state of Pará, has musical production of great relevance to the regional culture and has, throughout its history, significant activities that include making music in the formation of groups in diverse and varied environments, including, expressively, the school environments. In this sense, projects that provide opportunities for the teaching of music to students from municipal schools in the urban area of the city have been an effective alternative with regard to the insertion of music education in schools, such as the Music at School Project, which enables the necessary structure for the process of musical formation through the teaching of instruments for the formation of school bands. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the contribution of the Música na Escola Project in the implementation of music teaching in public schools in the urban area that are part of the municipal network of Santarém-PA. It is a research with a qualitative approach of the case study type and counts as a data collection tool, the bibliographic and documental survey, as well as the application of questionnaires in the involved schools. The results show the success of the project, as a public policy that reaches an expressive number of students from the municipal public education network, but which still needs improvements and greater investments, in order to expand its reach and contribute to the access to the teaching of music in Santarém.
