A apreciação de gêneros musicais brasileiros por alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais: percepção e ampliação de repertório

Abstract

Perceiving a world full of sonorities often leads to a mechanical sound listening in individuals, who, consequently, fail to resort to auditory skills necessary for a more accurate and critical perception, justifying, therefore, this research. Given this reality, a research question emerges: how can the contact with different musical genres, sound and visual resources contribute to the perceptual processes and musical memory of individuals with disabilities? From this perspective, the present study aimed to provide musical listening to individuals with different types of disabilities, regularly enrolled in a Special Education school in the northern region of Paraná, in order to contribute to their musical learning and repertoire expansion. We sought to put into practice perceptive instruments that corroborate the acquisition of musical elements, stimulating sensitivity, favoring aspects of cognition and musical learning. In the bibliographical review, considerations about aspects related to musicalization and Special Education were made. Subsequently, the research problem was discussed, and then the organization and systematization of listening was described, following methodological strategies, as well as the use of sound and visual resources. The method used consisted of action research, qualitative in nature, bringing together elements through the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of the data obtained. The instruments of data collection were: songs indicated by the students, an unpublished musical repertoire, continuous observation forms, intervention with audiovisual sound resources, and technological tools. The results proved the effectiveness of the musical appreciation moments performed by means of listening, verifying the improvement of listening acuity, the approval and expansion of the repertoire incorporated by the participating students, besides having corroborated with cognitive aspects during the musicalization and appreciation workshop. The discussions and reflections of the research, covering the theme, culminated in the application of the same. Thus, the study provided the construction of a listening script, based on the sound elements experienced and grounded in practice, so that it could serve the interested public, as well as contribute to related areas, becoming a practical resource for music appreciation.
