an investigation into teaching practices in the light of Keith Swanwick's model C (L) A (S) P
Musical education; Teaching Instrument; Accordion
This research seeks to investigate the teaching practice of three accordion teachers, graduated in Music – Licenciate in Music Plena - by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), more specifically in what refers to musical initiation through the accordion. It intends to understand the educational processes and their possible relation with the ideas of musical educator Keith Swanwick (1937) and the proposal of the model C (L) A (S) P. Therefore, we chose the case study as a methodological procedure, based on documentation, semi-structured interviews and data analysis. As a theoretical foundation, in addition to the principles of Keith Swanwick (2003a; 2003b; 2014), we sought support in the works of Yin (2015), Gil (2009) among others. In this way, it is hoped to contribute to the expansion of the studies focused on the teaching of accordion and music education, proposing an approximation of the teaching activities of this instrument with the principles of the C (L) A (S) P model of Keith Swanwick.
