Perspectivas de duas professoras sobre o ensino de piano para pessoas com deficiência no Conservatório Estadual de Música Dr. José Zóccoli de Andrade de Ituiutaba - MG

Abstract

This study aims to understand how the pedagogical-musical practices of two teachers of the Musical Education–Piano course for people with disabilities are configured at the State Conservatory of Music of Ituiutaba-MG. The theoretical framework is built from the conception of teachers' "teaching knowledge" (Tardif, 2014) and studies on the reflective teacher and the use of curricular adaptations as teaching strategies (Alarcão, 2011; Heredero, 2010). The research method used is the single case study (Yin, 2015) and data collection consists of semi-structured interviews with two piano teachers. The results demonstrate that teachers construct teaching strategies and musical pedagogical adaptations based on the knowledge acquired in professional training and personal experiences. The results also indicate that the musicalpedagogical practices of piano teachers are shaped based on the particularities and musical capabilities of each person with a disability.
