Docência no Terceiro Setor: o ensino de violoncelo para crianças e adolescentes na ONG Oficina de Sonhos

Abstract

Based on the experiences of the activities conducted at the ONG Oficina de Sonhos, the aim of this paper is to present the experiences and discuss the reality of the music teacher's work in ONGs. As part of the third sector, ONGs play a significant role in society, as they enable children and teenagers from different backgrounds to learn an instrument and build their own future prospects. Based on my work and the point of view of some key authors throughout the process of writing this report, I try to present my experience in order to explain the role of the music educator in ONGs, based on the concepts that permeate music education and its social role. In the ONGs environment, the music educator will always be more than a teacher, taking on the role of human formation for the students. In this way, it is possible to see music education as a proposal for the humanization and integral formation of individuals.
