As Mulheres e o violão : um levantamento das trajetórias e percepções de formação musical no curso de música da UFC, Campus Sobral

Abstract

This work aims to understand the trajectories and perceptions of musical training of female guitarists in the Music Course of the UFC - Sobral, through a qualitative research, first performing a bibliographic review and complementary categories on the subject and, later conducting semi-structured interviews with students and active members of the Course who have completed the instrumental practice discipline - guitar I to IV, between 2011 and 2019, in order to understand the perceptions and trajectories of these women and to highlight the female participation within the Course. The low number of women who finish the discipline or who are interested in continuing the in-depth study of the guitar in the Course arouses reflections about their trajectory with the guitar, the perceptions they have about encouraging the study of guitar in the discipline and also perceptions about the female presence in the discipline and the Course. The results of this analysis indicate that part of the musicians see the guitar as a secondary instrument, point out the existence of a different subtle treatment to women guitarists, evidence the scarcity of female representation in the UFC Music Course - Sobral and the role of the teacher in stimulating the study of the instrument and the representation of women as musical references.
