A influência do projeto Jardim de Gente na reinvenção do cotidiano: um estudo com os jovens do bairro Bom Jardim.

Abstract

This paper discusses music education at non-school spaces of education and how these spaces contribute to the musical education on the outskirts of Fortaleza. The project aims to understand the importance of music courses held by the Project “Jardim de Gente” (Garden of People – Fortaleza/ Ceará/ Brazil) through the students’ perspective. As a methodological approach, a case study in the course of Joint Practice was made. Ten students who participated in the course in the period 2010 to 2013 were chosen and interviewed. In addition to this, course planning and the Pedagogical Political Project of “Jardim de Gente” were used as sources of evidence. Thus, the Joint Practice course emerges as a space of transformation concerning musical practical perceptions and also in relation to daily students activities. According to the results, the project appears as a tool to the democratization of musical knowledge, reinventing the everyday life of its attendees.
