PROCESS FOR THE POPULAR MUSICIAN AND ITS MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS: understandings from the case
study with two instrumentalists.
Musical education. Autonomy in Formation. Popular music. Training spaces. Musical learning.
The diverse spaces in which the musicians transit in search of their formation are subjects in debate in the actuality. Given this, Music Education, thought as the area that contemplates the study and the processes of training in music, is certainly attentive in perceiving the different environments in which musical learning happens. Focusing on this search, the present work has the objective of deepening the understanding about the formative spaces of popular musicians. In this sense, I propose to understand the musical formation of the instrumentalists Eduardo Taufic and Jubileu Filho, subjects of the research. The work brings a review of literature with the purpose of evidencing the state of knowledge about the theme. The theoretical basis provides a mediation in the debate, pointing out the authors' inferences in constant dialogues with the field. The case study with the qualitative approach is the proposed methodological procedure. In the data collection phase, the electronic questionnaire, the direct observation, the field notebook and the semi-structured interview were used. The organization and, subsequently, the analysis of the data were materialized from the point of view of the discursive textual analysis. The textual construction of the analyzes was objectified from three central points: initial musical formation, musical formation in different spaces and musical formation in contexts of professionalization. In the face of this, the categorization provided an understanding of the various formative spaces in which popular musicians move from their first spontaneous contacts with music to the stage of professional performance. The results obtained reveal the complexity of the training of popular musicians. This training is closely linked to practice in several areas of activity. In this sense, the social environment has proved to be a strong motivating agent, especially for the spontaneous treatment that music has assumed in these spaces. In addition, family, friends, teachers, technological resources, work environment, and essays were certainly responsible for the musical formation of the popular musicians researched in this work.
