This paper describes an analysis of the musical experiences of 12-15 year-old adolescents, in a seventh grade public school class, with daylong (integral) education. The field research was organized around three workshops that promoted collective productions of photographs, and sound and video recordings related to the musical experiences of the teenagers. A methodological mosaic was built, based predominantly on sensory ethnography. Interviews that incorporated photo-voice technique were considered as a catalyzing component of the narratives developed. Three categories of analysis were identified: the relationships of adolescents with music; peer culture interfaced with the school culture; and collaborative learning. By promoting these sensory experiences it was possible to understand how the adolescents expressed themselves and related to their peers.

Keywords : Adolescents; School Culture; Sensorial Ethnography; Music.
