BELLOCHIO, Cláudia Ribeiro  and  PACHECO, Eduardo Guedes. Music and elementary education: thinking out formative processes and professional action in generalist teaching. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.1, pp.39-54. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v39i1.29510.

This text reflects on elementary education and music in the school. It transversalizes the discussion, and deals with formative and professional possibilities for generalist teaching by Pedagogy graduates. To do so, the authors problematize with musicians, teachers, composers and researchers the understanding which underlies not only their teaching practices but also their conceptions on Art and especially Music in the school. How is the role of the school and the elementary education project and its relation to music understood? How does the school deal with music when drawing up and choosing its conceptions/relations with childhood, education and, last but not least, Art? Questions such as these are the background to this essay which sets out to discuss elementary education, the school and the formation and music practices of elementary and middle school teachers.

Keywords : Elementary Education; Music; Pedagogy; Generalist Teaching.
