Abordagens metodológicas no ensino do piano popular: um estudo com oito professores de piano

Abstract

This work is about the piano pedagogy in the popular music context. The study contemplates methodological approaches that are effective for this teaching practice. The aim of this research is to investigate and understand the different methodological approaches of piano teachers in the popular music range, seeking to identify informal molds for piano teaching in this context. The specific objectives include exploring the strategies used by the interviewed teachers in the popular piano teaching, probing how the student develops under methodological procedures for teaching popular music and analyzing methods and methodologies for teaching the piano in the popular music context. To this end, an interview was conducted through an open questionnaire with eight teachers who work with the popular piano teaching, which, supported by the bibliographic review of the same theme, characterized the study as exploratory and descriptive. The study allowed to verify a hybridity of formal and informal teaching practices in the popular piano class, as well as an approximation in the relationship between teacher and student, taking place in the greater variety of repertoire and contents covered in class. The conclusion is that the piano class in the popular music context must involve the music teaching in its entirety, through the practice of auditory perception and the insertion of the student in mixed musical experiences.
