In this research, the aim is to develop a case study in order to understand the training of student monitors of the Music Degree course working in the Som Azul extension project, offered by the Braille Musicography and Inclusion Support Sector (SEMBRAIN), located at School of Music at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte – EMUFRN. The project makes room for Undergraduate Music students to practice the knowledge obtained during the training process, or even develop new skills from a direct relationship with the sector. From this perspective, we can consider that the project becomes a preparatory stage for the possible challenges that monitors may face in the basic education network. In this way, this research seeks to understand how the formation of students in the Music Degree course at UFRN takes place, based on their performance in the Special Music Education project Som Azul. The methodology adopted for this work will be the descriptive case study within a qualitative approach, as it is understood that such an approach would enable a broader view of the researched context. It is expected, in this way, to further motivate further discussions related to the inclusion and training of music teachers, who are capable of providing significant experiences in the lives of students with disabilities.
