Music practices by non-lettered stories

Abstract

This report describes two Workshops held in the State of Roraima - Brazil, whose object of work was the development of musical practices and elements for children and interested parties, not musicalized. The first offer of the Workshops took place in 2014 during the Expressão 2014 event, from the Center for Social Communication, Letters and Arts of the Federal University of Roraima (UFRR), as target audience students of the Letters and Music Courses, both undergraduate courses - which aim to teacher training for basic education. The second offer of the Workshops took place in 2015, at the Municipal School Vovó Dandae (Boa Vista - Roraima), targeting children from 7 to 8 years old. Both workshops were attended by academics from the Music Degree at UFRR as a way to guide teaching practices in formal and non-formal spaces, enabling them to have the richest experience of this profession, teaching, through the supervision and autonomy of teaching practice. The methodological support for the Workshops was Fonterrada (2008), Albano (2010), Paynter (1970), Swanwick (1979) and Penna (2008). The Workshops aimed to develop a playful activity that worked with illustrated children's stories that do not present texts, along with some basic elements from music: such as timbres, intensity, height, duration, density and reading. We sought to work in the Workshops on aspects involved in perception, sound exploration, improvisation and musical expression.
