Os reflexos da classificação vocal no percurso do aluno de canto lírico: um estudo com graduandos em música de universidades estaduais da região Sudeste do Brasil

Abstract

This work aims to understand the effects of vocal classification on the trajectory of the lyrical singing student and seeks to analyze, from the perspective of four students from state universities in the Southeast region of Brazil, answers regarding the following problem: what are the effects of vocal classification in the path of the lyrical singing student? The work therefore sought to encourage opera singing students to share their experiences on the topic. Considering the proposed objective, the qualitative approach was found to be the most appropriate for the development of the research. To collect data, semi-structured interviews were used, and carried out with students who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. In structural terms, this work was divided into two parts, theoretical framework and empirical study. In the theoretical framework, the first chapter sought to provide an overview of the importance of vocal classification in lyrical singing from a historical perspective. The second chapter aimed at understanding vocal typologies, that is, the main vocal classifications and subclassifications, what characterizes each type of voice and their respective registers. In the empirical study, the methodological framework is addressed, the analysis categories are elaborated and the analysis of the interviews of the study participants is presented. The results obtained indicate that the process of classifying a singer's voice, from the perspective of lyrical singing students, is not simple. For students, the perception of the paths used by the teacher is often abstract. In this context, a clearer and more flexible approach becomes essential, which takes into account natural changes in voices, the understanding of singers, and respect for the diversity of students.
