Concerto de Natal: construção social e desenvolvimento da musicalidade (original) (raw)

This educational project takes an exploratory feature and fits in the action research paradigm. Through it, was intended to scrutinize the role of musical education in a scholastic context, as a promoter of development of musical skills and musicality, as well as a facilitator in the development of social skills. By forming an Orff vocal and instrumental group, constituted by students in the fourth grade, the 1st cycle of basic education within the Enrichment of Music Education Curriculum Activity, we attempted to determine, how the formation of a group with these characteristics could be as suitable for those learning potentiate positive catalyst, as well as identify which of the learning/skills were acquired by the children. The project culminated with the performance of a "Christmas Concert" showfocused on educational and local communities, thus allowing children the opportunity to display and share their work. The adherence and involvement of children was shown throughout the way of content appropriation transforming them and (re)signifying them for themselves, recreating and rebuilding the songs to each and everyone sizes. We could verify that, besides the development of musical content were also developed areas such as cognition, socialization, communication, affection and imagination, going this way to meet the Swanwick perspective, (1999), which refers to the potential of music in promoting individual development, cultural renewal, social evolution and change. So, the children understood music as something significant in their lives, as a way of interpreting the world and the expression of values.
