Abstract

The teaching of musical instruments in Brazil has been discussed by professionals in the field, although its inclusion, both in public elementary schools and in the curriculum of art courses, whether in curricular or extracurricular activities, has not been adequately addressed. Based on the scarcity of information and the need to make viable proposals that guide the teaching of music, this work aimed to discuss the use of musical instruments in public elementary schools, through a report of experiences with students aged 13 to 15 years. of age, from the Municipal School Ferreira Itajubá, located in the municipality of Natal. The work was divided into two stages, the first consisting of a qualitative study, based on a narrative review for the theoretical basis of the research, in a second moment, it was chosen to expose a report of experiences obtained during the accomplishment of a stage, by the author of the work, where activities were developed at the Municipal School Ferreira Itajubá, where there is the EMUSCO Project. The main results were that: music, because it is intimately inserted in people's daily lives, music can be used as an ally in music learning by students; the use of songs that are part of the students' daily life makes music classes more participatory and allows for greater student engagement in learning; music teaching must be adapted to their political, economic and social realities, a fact verified by the enthusiasm of the students who made up the classes in learning to play the guitar, always motivated by the desire to be able to play autonomously the songs that are part of their own musical styles.
