Canto coletivo improvisado: pensando caminhos para o trabalho vocal com crianças e adolescentes

Abstract

The focus of this study was to identify ways to use Improvised Collective Chant in the vocal work developed with children and teenagers. In regards of the proposed objective, it was understood that the qualitative approach would be the most appropriate for the development of the research. For data collection, we resorted to a semi-structured interview with Uliana Dias Ferlim, a teacher who idealized the Improvised Collective Chant practice in Brazil. The proposal consisted, therefore, in drawing an overview of the Improvised Collective Chant in Brazil, reflecting, especially, on the possibilities of using this practice with children and adolescents. It was also sought, for this purpose, to dialogue the perception of the teacher interviewed with the authors consulted, and list activities that can be used with this audience. The results obtained demonstrate that Improvised Collective Chant can be adapted, and developed with children, and adolescents, if it meets this audience reality.
