O Ensino de música na disciplina de arte da E.E.M. Francisco de Almeida Monte

Abstract

This course completion work sought to understand how music is taught in Arts classes at the Francisco de Almeida Monte High School, in the municipality of Alcântaras (CE). The municipality of Alcântaras, located in the Northwest mesoregion of Ceará, has only one high school. At that school, there are Arts classes. Therefore, I sought to identify the training of Arts teachers who teach music at school; observe and describe the musical activities carried out in the classroom. The study was characterized as a case study with structured interviews with the school's three Arts teachers and seven students. The results indicated that music, when approached within the Arts discipline, has been guided by the use of textbooks and music teaching addresses cultural and historical issues, especially from three distinct cultures, such as Indigenous Culture, African Culture and Greek Culture. Music teaching seems to have expanded, with the arrival of a male and female intern from the Music Degree Course at the Federal University of Ceará, Sobral campus, to the school. In conclusion, three assertions are highlighted: music could form a more significant picture at school; the musical content present in the Arts class could be more emphasized; demand for a licensed teacher in the area of music to deepen music teaching at E.E.M.
