O desenvolvimento da compreensão da simultaneidade musical de crianças estudantes de música.

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the development of the understanding of the musical simultaneity of music students living in the city of Manaus / AM. Its theoretical reference is Piagetian. We counted on the accomplishment of this research with the participation of 13 children and young people, 7 boys and 6 girls between 8 and 17 years of age, students of the Extension Courses in Music of the UEA. The study involves the application of an experiment and the semi-structured interview. The objective is to analyze the comprehension of the musical simultaneity of children music students, from the answers obtained through the clinical method. In this work we can identify and analyze each child in their respective stages of musical cognitive development. From the theoretical reference, we approached stages I, stage IIA (types 1, 2 and 3), stage IIB and stage III. It should be noted that we did not have children classified in stage I in this study and that, from this, we developed the research with children in stages II and III. To know how the development of musical simultaneity in the students of a musical instrument occurs is a way of providing subsidies for a pedagogical approach capable of reaching the expected results, leading the teacher to develop his method of teaching correctly, obtaining great fruits. Because understanding the stages of the development of the child, we can later organize and maybe even develop a new method of teaching music that respects the 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 in a determined age group, and can vary according to the interaction with the medium of which each individual participates. This is due to the access and interest that each one has through the musical language in their daily life.
