THE EUPHONIUM AND POPULAR MUSIC: FORMATIVE POSSIBILITIES THROUGH A MEDIUM LEVEL MELODIUM STUDY METHOD BASED ON PERNAMBUCO GENRES AND RHYTHMS
Euphonium Teaching and Performance. Study Method. Pernambucanos Rhythms and Genres.
This research aims to propose an alternative for the teaching and performance of euphonium through a method containing ten melodic studies of medium level based on Pernambuco rhythms and genres. For this, a bibliographical and historiographical survey about the euphonium was necessary, going through its history in bands in Brazil, as well as its participation in the development of popular brazilian music. We carried out a survey of the most used methods and books for teaching euphonium, inside and outside the country, in order to obtain a parameter for developing the studies that will be the final product of our research. We also conducted an interview with some teachers of brass instruments who work in higher education courses in some universities in the northeast, in order to seek methodological support for the preparation of the textbook. The research is exploratory and descriptive, as in addition to describing the data collected, we will use them to propose, based on the research problem, an alternative in the pedagogical universe of the euphonium.
