Abstract

The present dissertation is linked to the research line of Education and Arts from the PPGE/UFSM and to the group of studies and research Training, Action and Research in Musical Education FAPEM. Aimed to the analysis of the Musical Education practices that results from the Louvai Cantando song book utilization context in the German Brazilian school in Ivoti on the period of 1968 to 1976 (1st edition of the book) under the arrangers and teacher s scope. The investigation of the places at which the practices took place and the song book s inscribed reading protocols are intended specific objectives. The developed research from qualitative nature uses hybrid oral thematic history with semi-structured interview and questionaire as tools to collect material. Besides other materials the song book itself act as source of data. The theorical referential adopted, from which the analysis were done, follows Roger Chartier´s ((2007, 2004a, 2004b, 2002, 2001, 1999a, 1999b, 1996, 1994, 1990) teaches that shows the conceptual tripod book, print and readings. Based on the collected data and analysis we have the conclusion that the music was build on vocal execution and that from the song book musical and educational knowledge were aborded. The teacher was in most cases an example to the students being the one responsible for selecting the songs once the song book don´t show na explicit sequence to be followed. The song book carries songs from various different realities giving the student the opportunity to have contact with these realities and with other cultures, forms and musical genre and also expanding his vocabulary. The linguistic culture brought by the immigrants was also contemplated. Taking place not just as a classroom activity the singing was a constant in the German Brazilian School. Besides, the organization of Cancioneiro was directly influenced by two publications of the 1930's, Tönen die Lieder ... and Kommt und Singet!, featuring a continuation of these two song books well as the tradition of the practice of singing brought by early immigrants.
