Inclusion in the Music Academy of Santa Cecília: Report of an experience with musical education

Abstract

The Santa Cecilia Music Academy (AMSC) is a technical cooperation project signed between the Diocese of Campina Grande, the Paraíba Technological Park Foundation (PaqTcPB) and the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), and aims to work in the field educational and artistic, attending students between 8 and 17 years. The action is inclusive and aims, in addition to the technical aspects, to promote integration between children and adolescents from different economic, social and cultural contexts and with special needs or learning disorders. In this experience report, we will cover the first stage of the project, which took place between October and December 2016. The goal is to describe the activities carried out and to reflect on the process of inclusion and interaction between children and adolescents with different trajectories and, more particularly, that the proposed activities contributed to the development of a child diagnosed with Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL).
