ILHA DE MÚSICA: A PERSPECTIVE ON MUSICAL EDUCATION IN NGOS
Music Education; Social Intervention; NGOs; Cultural Diversity.
The present research aims to identify and understand the formative-musical dimensions that guide the educational actions of the NGO Ilha de Música, located in the Redinha neighborhood, in the community of Africa, in the Northern Zone of Natal - RN. Through the bibliographical review, we sought to understand the role of music education in these contexts and, thus, to construct a dialogical path capable of embracing the idiosyncrasies inherent in social projects that use music as a means of social insertion. It is configured as a qualitative research, which through the case study modality seeks to substantiate the relations between music education, music and education. It considers music as a phenomenon that, being used for educational purposes, needs to attend to the meanings of each context. Seeking to understand the origin and purpose of the socio-musical work that the Ilha de Música performs, the study presents a contextualization of the NGO, in which aspects related to the infrastructure and quality of life in the African community are discussed. In this sense, through field observations and interviews, the pedagogical conceptions and practices adopted in the institution were revealed. The results show, in addition to the synchronicity between the interviewees, a teaching of music committed to intuition, with theoretical knowledge and creativity, as well as, reveal that ethics, socialization, diversity, orality in music broadcasts, meanings of musical practices and commitment to the development of autonomy were formative characteristics that presented themselves in a more evident way.
