O Processo de educação musical na igreja Assembleia de Deus Templo Central em Alcântaras-Ce

Abstract

This work aims to understand how the processes of musical education take place within the church Assembly of God Temple Central in Alcântaras. The church already has some musical groups, divided into children, young people and women, and also a musical band, where some of the members arrived without any knowledge and developed within the church, along with the other participants. The methodology used to develop this work was exploratory research, where it was possible to interview 13 participants from different functions within the institution, where they talked about their evolution and their experiences related to music within the church. After the interviews and analyses, it was possible to understand what music actually represents for each of them and also what each one managed to develop. For some of them, music is like an instrument for teaching the Bible, a therapy, an instrument for social connection, also an aid for connecting with the divine, in addition to practical development in music, whether in the instrumental part or in singing.
