Pau e lata para uma educação musical: uma partitura de vidas

The field of experience and reflection in this dissertation is the Pau and Lata: Artisticpedagogical project and its activities in the field of music education It was created in 1996, by the Community School Sementes da Luz, located on Tabuleiro do Martins district, Maceió / AL. The work extended to the Rio Grande do Norte and later returned to Alagoas, keeping their activities in both states, involving approximately 280 people. The issues that moved us front the experience of Pau e Lata were: What are the main references and theoretical-methodological elements that constitute the formation of the musician in Pau e Lata? How members perceive this project and include themselves in the educational process of music formation? How it works and what is the meaning of the use of instruments and the learning of musical writing and reading? These questions lead us to undertake this dissertation, in order to deepen reflection on the processes of musical training on Pau e Lata, relating the experiences of its members in the process and the theoretical references governing their educational practice. In this sense, we outline the research objectives, which are: describe the Pau e Lata project, focusing on their context of action and their methodological processes; investigate the relationship between the effective participation of its members in the process of composition of the artistic and pedagogical repertoire and its performance in the field of cultural militancy in the environment where it operates. The writing process of this research is based on the phenomenological perspective. Therefore constitute our methodological research path two roads that communicate: 1) the organization and description of historical record of Pau e Lata (supporting documents, certificates, posters, etc.) and memories of the researcher and from other members of the group. 2) the formation of focal groups and writing and sending, via online, testimonials the participants of Pau and Lata relating to issues scrap and onomatopoeia, respectively. Participated in this process 11 components, adding the presence of the researcher, with the age between 21-45 years, all members of Pau e Lata, Core UFRN. The results of this research are focused on the discussion of three axes that describe and guide the work of the Pau e Lata: collective work, the use of the scrap as instrument and the onomatopoeia as base of a methodological process of musical training. This score was composed of three parts. The first part is presented from a collection of references from Pau e Lata, composed of printed and videographic records. The second part refers to the instrument used by Pau e Lata, and the perception of group members on these instruments, which occurs so that they are integrated in the training of the musician.The third axis tells how and what it means learning of music writing and reading, that occurs in two related aspects: the teaching-learning process and the body as a musical element in this process, associated with other actions characterized as studies and theoretical deepening

Ansiedade na performance musical: estudo de caso com a Orquestra Filarmonia das Beiras

A ansiedade na performance musical (APM) é um distúrbio que afeta alguns músicos independentemente da sua idade, experiência, dedicação ou tipo de instrumento. A APM se faz presente em músicos de orquestras, coros e solistas e surge como um fenômeno fisiológico, psicológico, cognitivo e emocional. Este trabalho consiste em uma pesquisa acerca da ansiedade na performance musical em uma orquestra portuguesa. Através da aplicação do questionário STAI-Y comparou-se como 36 músicos da Orquestra Filarmonia das Beiras se sentiram antes do concerto (ansiedade-estado) e em uma situação geral (ansiedade-traço). Além disso, correlacionou-se os dados obtidos com dados sobre a população portuguesa. Concluiu-se que os músicos da OFB não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os dois momentos e apresentaram baixos índices de ansiedade-estado e ansiedadetraço comparativamente à população portuguesa.

EXTENDED-RANGE OBOE: THE IMPACT OF TECHNICAL AND MUSICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN 19th-CENTURY AND CONTEMPORARY OBOE REPERTOIRE

I believe that the purpose of expanding the oboe’s repertoire is to not only create original compositions, but to also utilize technical advancements in order to achieve access to a wider range of repertoire through the art of transcription. This paper examines the various paths to achieving such expansion, including utilizing unique performer skills, use of auxiliary instruments, advancements in the instrument itself and musical developments that challenge the perception of the oboe’s solo role in a particular era of music history. The oboe need not be relegated to the confines of a compositionally limited stereotype. The goal of my “extended-range” dissertation project is to expand the “range” of programmable repertoire, with a focus on music in both the 19th and 21st-centuries, while simultaneously expanding the technical capabilities and expectations of the modern oboe—in part by exploiting the new possibilities of the recently invented low-A extension key.

As percepções de alunos, professores e encarregados de educação sobre a disciplina de educação musical: Um estudo de caso no âmbito do 2º ciclo do ensino básico

Este estudo teve como grande finalidade conhecer as percepções de alunos do 2° Ciclo do Ensino Básico de uma escola da periferia de Lisboa e dos respectivos professores e encarregados de educação, relativamente à disciplina de Educação Musical. No estudo foi utilizado um desenho metodológico de cariz naturalista, com aproximação ao estudo de caso, em que a técnica de recolha de dados de suporte foi o inquérito por questionário, aplicado aos três elementos da comunidade educativa antes referidos. Os principais objectivos do estudo foram, entre outros, os seguintes: #) Conhecer a importância que é dada à Educação Musical, enquanto disciplina integrante do currículo escolar, por alunos, professores e encarregados de educação; #) Contribuir para uma tomada de consciência, por parte da comunidade educativa em geral, sobre a importância da Educação Musical na formação integral do cidadão. A análise dos resultados obtidos permitiu chegar a diversas inferências e conclusões, destacando-se, entre outras, as seguintes: - Em relação aos alunos, a Educação Musical foi por eles considerada uma disciplina razoavelmente importante para a sua formação face à qual afirmaram nutrir algum interesse, sobretudo quando nela são promovidas actividades práticas; - No que diz respeito aos professores, estes consideraram, na sua maioria, que a disciplina, apesar das suas potencialidades formativas, acaba por não ser aproveitada na sua plenitude; - Os encarregados de educação tenderam a considerá-la uma disciplina importante, parecendo estar informados sobre as actividades e as funções a ela associadas. A música pareceu, além disso, fazer parte da vida da maior parte dos inquiridos dos três grupos participantes no estudo, tendo os mesmos indicado que ouviam música todos os dias e que já haviam assistido a, pelo menos, um concerto ao vivo. ABSTRACT; The aim of this study was to acknowledge the perceptions of students of the fifth and sixth grades of a Basic school in Lisbon periphery, their parents and teachers, about the subject of Musical Education. ln that purpose, we are in front of a naturalist investigation, approaching the case study, were the support instrument of data collecting was the questionnaire, applied to the three members of the educative community we have already referred to. This study had, as main goals, the following, among others: #) To know the importance that is given to Musical Education, as a subject which is part of the school curriculum, by students, parents and teachers; #) To contribute for the acknowledgement, by the general educative community, of the importance of Musical Education, for the growth and formation of the individuals. The analisys of the results allowed us to reach, among others, several conclusions and inferences: - Concerning the students, musical education was considered a subject of reasonable importance for their formation, and by which they showed some interest, especially when teachers promote practical activities; - The majority of the teachers considered that the subject was very important for the formation of the individual. However, and in spite of its formative potentialities, musical education is not applied and used as much as it should be; - Parents seem to consider it an important subject and also seem to be well informed about the activities and functions associated to it; Music seemed to be part of the lives of all the inquiries, who revealed listening to music every day and, in the majority of cases, have already been to a live concert.

Un aporte a la comprensión de las estrategias emergentes en las organizaciones a través del concepto de improvisación y la metáfora musical

Este trabajo se inscribe en uno de los grandes campos de los estudios organizacionales: la estrategia. La perspectiva clásica en este campo promovió la idea de que proyectarse hacia el futuro implica diseñar un plan (una serie de acciones deliberadas). Avances posteriores mostraron que la estrategia podía ser comprendida de otras formas. Sin embargo, la evolución del campo privilegió en alguna medida la mirada clásica estableciendo, por ejemplo, múltiples modelos para ‘formular’ una estrategia, pero dejando en segundo lugar la manera en la que esta puede ‘emerger’. El propósito de esta investigación es, entonces, aportar al actual nivel de comprensión respecto a las estrategias emergentes en las organizaciones. Para hacerlo, se consideró un concepto opuesto —aunque complementario— al de ‘planeación’ y, de hecho, muy cercano en su naturaleza a ese tipo de estrategias: la improvisación. Dado que este se ha nutrido de valiosos aportes del mundo de la música, se acudió al saber propio de este dominio, recurriendo al uso de ‘la metáfora’ como recurso teórico para entenderlo y alcanzar el objetivo propuesto. Los resultados muestran que 1) las estrategias deliberadas y las emergentes coexisten y se complementan, 2) la improvisación está siempre presente en el contexto organizacional, 3) existe una mayor intensidad de la improvisación en el ‘como’ de la estrategia que en el ‘qué’ y, en oposición a la idea convencional al respecto, 4) se requiere cierta preparación para poder improvisar de manera adecuada.

Validity And Reliability Of A Pediatric Patient Classification Instrument.

to assess the construct validity and reliability of the Pediatric Patient Classification Instrument. correlation study developed at a teaching hospital. The classification involved 227 patients, using the pediatric patient classification instrument. The construct validity was assessed through the factor analysis approach and reliability through internal consistency. the Exploratory Factor Analysis identified three constructs with 67.5% of variance explanation and, in the reliability assessment, the following Cronbach's alpha coefficients were found: 0.92 for the instrument as a whole; 0.88 for the Patient domain; 0.81 for the Family domain; 0.44 for the Therapeutic procedures domain. the instrument evidenced its construct validity and reliability, and these analyses indicate the feasibility of the instrument. The validation of the Pediatric Patient Classification Instrument still represents a challenge, due to its relevance for a closer look at pediatric nursing care and management. Further research should be considered to explore its dimensionality and content validity.

[pediatric Patient Classification System: Improvement Of An Instrument].

Improve the content validity of the instrument for classification of pediatric patients and evaluate its construct validity. A descriptive exploratory study in the measurement of the content validity index, and correlational design for construct validation through exploratory factor analysis. The content validity index for indicators was 0.99 and it was 0.97 for graded situations. Three domains were extracted in the construct validation, namely: patient, family and therapeutic procedures, with 74.97% of explained variance. The instrument showed evidences of content and construct validity. The validation of the instrument occurred under the approach of family-centered care, and allowed incorporating some essential needs of childhood such as playing, interaction and affection in the content of the instrument.

A física do violino

Neste artigo apresentamos uma descrição geral da física do violino, analisando os conceitos que lhes dão sustentação física e que revelam toda a riqueza e o potencial pedagógico do assunto. Destacamos as contribuições de físicos como Helmholtz, Savart, Raman e Saunders no esforço para descrever a vibração produzida pelo arco nas cordas, e por compreender as propriedades acústicas do instrumento. Descrevemos a função de cada uma das componentes do instrumento e discutimos a importância dos modos normais de vibração dos tampos e do cavalete na resposta acústica do violino. A ressonância acústica da caixa do violino (ressonância de Helmholtz) será discutida fazendo-se um paralelo entre osciladores mecânico, elétrico e acústico. Discutiremos a resposta acústica do violino e descreveremos a produção de seu som caraterístico, que resulta da forma de onda originada pela excitação das cordas pelo arco, influenciada pelas vibrações e ressonâncias do corpo do violino, seus tampos e o cavalete.

TRAVELLING THROUGH PITCH SPACE SPEEDS UP MUSICAL TIME

SEVERAL MODELS OF TIME ESTIMATION HAVE BEEN developed in psychology; a few have been applied to music. In the present study, we assess the influence of the distances travelled through pitch space on retrospective time estimation. Participants listened to an isochronous chord sequence of 20-s duration. They were unexpectedly asked to reproduce the time interval of the sequence. The harmonic structure of the stimulus was manipulated so that the sequence either remained in the same key (CC) or travelled through a closely related key (CFC) or distant key (CGbC). Estimated times were shortened when the sequence modulated to a very distant key. This finding is discussed in light of Lerdahl's Tonal Pitch Space Theory (2001), Firmino and Bueno's Expected Development Fraction Model (in press), and models of time estimation.

Musical genres: beating to the rhythms of different drums

Online music databases have increased significantly as a consequence of the rapid growth of the Internet and digital audio, requiring the development of faster and more efficient tools for music content analysis. Musical genres are widely used to organize music collections. In this paper, the problem of automatic single and multi-label music genre classification is addressed by exploring rhythm-based features obtained from a respective complex network representation. A Markov model is built in order to analyse the temporal sequence of rhythmic notation events. Feature analysis is performed by using two multi-variate statistical approaches: principal components analysis (unsupervised) and linear discriminant analysis (supervised). Similarly, two classifiers are applied in order to identify the category of rhythms: parametric Bayesian classifier under the Gaussian hypothesis (supervised) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (unsupervised). Qualitative results obtained by using the kappa coefficient and the obtained clusters corroborated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
