A expressão gestual aliada ao canto

Abstract

The present study consists in a research of the gestural expression allied to singing. The objective of the research was to analyze the relation between the gestural expression that the student performs while singing and the success in the sound emission requested by the vocal coach in teaching singing, so that there is a clearer and faster evolution of the voice in different aspects. A narrative review of literature was carried out to compose the theoretical research arsenal and, after, a pre-experimental research was made through the application of exercises with three students of the Singing II discipline of the Degree in Music at the University of Caxias do Sul. Vocal exercises without gestural movement and with gestural movement were applied. After carrying out the exercises, a closed questionnaire was applied to two evaluating teachers, to verify whether the conduct of the activity with movements brought about an improvement in the vocal emission of the singers. After the end of the activities, the singers were also interviewed to confirm their impressions. In chapter two we bring a narrative review about singing and gestural expression strategies. In chapter three the research method is discussed. In chapter four the collected data are presented. Finally, in chapter five, the research data are analyzed. In the conclusion, it was identified that the gestural expression allied to the singing brought significant improvement in the vocal emission. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
