Abstract

This work aims to analyze the development of the understanding of the simultaneity of music in students living in the city of Manaus. Its theoretical reference is Piagetian. For this research, participated 13 children and teenagers, 7 boys and 6 girls between 8 and 17 years of age, students of the Extension Program Courses of the Amazonas State University - UEA. The study involves the application of an experiment, an observation, and a semi-structured interview. The objective is to analyze the comprehension of musical simultaneity of music in students departing from the answers obtained through the Clinical Method. In this work, we could identify and analyze each child in its respective stage of musical cognitive development. From the theoretical framework, we considered stages I, stage IIA, stage IIB (types 1, 2 and 3) and stage III. It is noteworthy that we did not found children classified in stage I in this study and for such, we conducted the research with children of stages II and III. Knowing how to develop the musical simultaneity in the students of a musical instrument or singing is a way to promote a pedagogical approach capable of obtaining the expected results, leading the teacher to his / her method of teaching correctly. Thus, yielding to great fruits, because understanding the stages of the development of the child, we can organize a method of teaching music that respects individual development and the diversities in our society in the XXI century. From the obtained results, we can observe that the musical understanding is not confined to a determined age group, and can vary according to the interaction with the environment that each individual takes part. This is due to the access and interest each one has on the musical language in their daily life.
