Abstract

This master's dissertation presents an analysis of the historical process, conceptions, and teaching practices of music education at the Municipal School of Music of Alto Alegre do Maranhão. Thus, this work outlines a historical overview of the creation and development of the Municipal School of Music of Alto Alegre do Maranhão; investigates the pedagogical conceptions that underpin music education in the institution; aims to contribute to the theoretical construction of pedagogical activities based on lived pedagogical experiences; and analyzes the contributions of the Municipal School of Music of Alto Alegre do Maranhão to the local community. It seeks to address the scientific problem of how the historical process of music education took place and what pedagogical conceptions are adopted by the teachers who work at the Municipal School of Music of Alto Alegre do Maranhão. The main justification for this research lies in the understanding and even the systematization of music education as an element of the Basic Education curriculum, as well as the possibility of providing documentary support to the municipality of Alto Alegre do Maranhão. As a methodological framework, a qualitative approach is used, along with bibliographical research as a procedure, as well as the participatory research method, the use of primary and secondary sources, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. The work is grounded in educational documents and authors who address the history of music education, music teaching in basic education, teaching practices, and current music pedagogies. Throughout the process, it is recommended that the construction of the school's PPP (Political-Pedagogical Project) be considered as a first step in strengthening the relationship between the school, families, and the community. It is also emphasized that this interaction will promote an education that goes beyond the mere transmission of content and practices, contributing to the comprehensive formation of students.
