Esta pesquisa busca investigar o sujeito cantante, tecendo reflexões sobre o canto coral em uma abordagem psicanalítica. Para tanto, foram estudados alguns aspectos da música, da educação musical, do canto coral e da Psicanálise, relacionando as áreas e suas possíveis articulações. Após um breve levantamento conceitual e bibliográfico, foi escolhido o Coral Universidade de São Paulo (CoralUSP) para a pesquisa de campo, do qual, foram entrevistados cinco de seus regentes e três cantores. Essa pesquisa abriu reflexões sobre o canto coral por um viés psicanalítico, depois de acompanhar ensaios de dois dos doze grupos que constituem o CoralUSP e de abrir a discussão sobre a educação musical atual, mediante entrevista com uma educadora musical que atua pela via do canto coral. Os motivos que originaram o projeto desta dissertação remetem à promulgação da Lei Federal nº 11.769/08, que institui a obrigatoriedade do ensino de música nas escolas, embora não em caráter exclusivo. Essa nova legislação reacendeu algumas reflexões: por que a música é importante para a formação do sujeito? De que maneira ela pode ser trabalhada? Como o canto coral pode se articular às novas práticas? De que forma o canto se inscreve no sujeito? E, por fim, quem é o sujeito que canta? A discussão deste estudo é voltada tanto para coralistas ou ex-coralistas que compreendem a importância do canto coral em sua formação, mas que gostariam de se aprofundar nessa investigação sob um enfoque psicanalítico, quanto para educadores (formais, informais, polivalentes ou de formação musical específica), a fim de que percebam o impacto das influências musicais e, mais precisamente, corais no campo da educação e da constituição do sujeito. Pedagoga, coralista de longa data e atual professora de canto coral, motivada pela musicalização da escola e seus impactos, esta autora estabeleceu o compromisso com sua dissertação e com a pesquisa educacional, aceitando o desafio de uma leitura psicanalítica da educação musical por meio do canto coral. Em suma, o que se pretende com esse estudo é investigar as marcas deixadas pela voz, pelo canto coral, na formação do sujeito cantante, o que está menos ligado a métodos do que às paixões que movem o desejo e que constitui um novo semblante para o sujeito psicanalítico. / This research aims to investigate the singing subject, weaving thoughts on choral singing in a psychoanalytic approach. For this, some aspects of music, musical education, choral singing and psychoanalysis were studied by relating the areas and their possible connections. After a brief conceptual and bibliographical survey, the University of São Paulo Choir (CoralUSP) was chosen for the field research, from which five of its regents and three singers were interviewed. This research opened reflections on choral singing by a psychoanalytical view, after accompanying rehearsals from two of the twelve groups that constitute the CoralUSP and opening discussion about the current musical education, during an interview with a music educator who operates by means of choral singing. The reasons that led to the project of this dissertation refer to the enactment of Federal Law No. 11,769/08, establishing the compulsory teaching of music in schools, although not on an exclusive basis. This new legislation has rekindled some thoughts: why music is important to the formation of the subject? How can it be worked on? How the choir can be linked to new practices? How the song fits the subject? And finally, who is the subject who sings? The discussion of this study is turned for both choristers or former choristers who understand the importance of choral singing in their training, but would like to go deeper in this research under a psychoanalytic approach, as for educators (formal, informal, polyvalent or from specific musical training) in order to realize the impact of musical influences - and, more precisely, choral - in the field of education and formation of the subject. Pedagogue, longtime choir member and current teacher of choral singing, motivated by school musicalization and its impacts, this author established the commitment to her dissertation and to educational research, accepting the challenge of a psychoanalytic reading of musical education through choral singing. In short, the intention with this study is to investigate the \"marks\" left by voice, by choral singing, in the formation of the singing subject, which is less connected to methods than to passions that move the desire and which constitutes a new semblant to the psychoanalytic subject.

The typical high school choral director of today is expected to know a great deal about the various types of music that exist as well as the appropriate techniques to create those genres in such a way that their student’s performances are realistic and stylistically accurate. What most undergraduate students are taught in pursuit of a choral music education degree misses the mark in that the show choir genre is nearly ignored throughout the curriculum. Yet, the nation’s new teachers are expected to strike out into the world of teaching and often find themselves in very large, competitive programs with the show choir at the very center. This study begins by identifying a number of questions that a first year teacher with no show choir directing experiences might ask, identifying the “how and why” of the daunting task of creating an artistic product in this new American modern choral genre. These questions also served as a guide to formulate a profile of the ideal show choir director. Then utilizing the established profile of the ideal show choir director, several experts – those who have an established reputation for a high level of success – were interviewed and their responses were documented, studied, and organized into categories that correspond with those found in the profile of the ideal show choir director. The correlation of these elements provided an in-­‐depth look into the processes of these successful directors that have proven to be effective over the course of many years, giving the reader a revealing look into how to build a program from the beginning, and to see it through to the end with ultimate success. As young teachers attempt to create musical experiences that are appealing to their students, they often find themselves competing with an idea that singing in choir should be like what can be seen on television in shows such as GLEE or American Idol, and other similar programs. While this is not an entirely real reflection of what choral music education is about, there is some truth to what is shown, and to a degree, what can be done. The focus of this project is to provide our new teachers a knowledge base to draw from that can assist them in their own development toward becoming a truly well balanced musician and educator. This project can assist these young teachers in developing into those who have knowledge of the show choir art form, and know how to teach the various techniques necessary to engage students and keep them interested in singing choral music. / Access to dissertation permanently restricted to Ball State community only / School of Music
