Compassos formativos em regência coral: uma autobiografia

Abstract

The present paper aims at describing and analyzing the autobiographical construction educational course from the choir conducting experiences. It presents the relationship implied on the formative and professional course with music, remaking a determining trajectory to the musical identity. The investigations about the experience with music and choir conducting intertwine its own interests, the work developed with the Madrigal from the Federal University of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil, new creations in music and its own reflection during the learning process. We tried to acknowledge the situations and living happenings of this time, the relationships established with the musical aesthetical quality, as well as the affinities of this work with other experiences. Thus, the immersion in the musical field, the practical musical exercise and choir conducting constituted an autobiographical methodological strategy to the sensible comprehension of a formative course. From the theoretical reference come the biographical, autobiographical and living testimonials. The work fits the musical education studies, more specifically in the musical and choir conducting areas.
