Música e religiosidade: um estudo sobre a transmissão musical na Comunidade Católica Shalom - Missão Natal/RN

Abstract

The academic route helped me to comprehend that school spaces are not the only spaces that provide music education. In the out-of-school spaces, many musical worlds can be discovered and these offer us a rich variety of teaching-learning relationships without the presence of the teacher in this process, since according to Petitat (2011) “education derives from insertion in relations – sometimes at schooling, but most of the time, not schooling”. The Shalom Catholic Community is not intended to promote musical learning, but the close relationship its members have with music is undeniable. Music is at the heart of Shalom spirituality, present in daily life and in the activities that the Community performs (Eucharistic celebration, prayer group meetings and events). In all these activities performed by the Shalom are assigned to the music varied functions and various uses. The present work aims to identify possible teaching-learning relationships and musical transmission in this out-of-school environment. To achieve this goal, I make use of the ethnography of music, seeking, through observation and data collection, to describe the ways in which people make "Shalom music".
