Thoughts on corporeality and the cello: an ethnographic account of a journey by Brazilian and Italian public institutions
Performance, Life history, Learning, Daily exercises.
This article focuses on an autoethnographic analysis of my training as a cellist in public educational institutions in Brazil and Italy, and aims to systematize my trajectory, understanding important aspects for my development as an instrumentalist and teacher in addition to assisting cellists with similar life histories to mine. The research was built in two stages: first, an autoethnographic report of my trajectory of cello education was made, pointing to important events that occurred in that period and their respective impacts on my musical practice. Subsequently, a list and analysis of the technical aspects of my construction as an instrumentalist was carried out, where some concepts and exercises of relevant importance in this construction process are presented.
