Banda Braille : vivenciando novas experiências em um grupo musical composto por videntes e deficientes visuais

Abstract

This research aimed to discuss the work performed by Banda Braille, a musical group of the UFRN School of Music, seeking to report on the experiences and challenges encountered in the performance of the group's activities, and how this experience contributes to the development of its members. The choice of the object of this study was due to the involvement of the researcher with the set, and his interest in investigating the practices developed in a group composed of visually impaired and seers. The methodological procedures used in the investigation correspond to the qualitative approach and the case study, and data collection was done through semi-structured interviews, photos, and posts on social networks, as well as bibliographic research. The results obtained show that the interactions built in the activities developed by the group allowed the development of both musical and interpersonal among all involved.
