The analysis draws on Cultural History authors in order to put into discussion the written and oral sources of the documentary corpus that, associated to the history of music teaching in Brazilian and European conservatories and to discussions on the nature of the educational process of such institutions, is used to econstruct both the institutional history of the CDM and the music education experiences carried out within this cultural space. In the light of considerations by Pierre Bourdieu related to art history and cultural/symbolic struggles present in society, it is possible to affirm that the groups that worked at the CDM established a view of art, music and music education that induced a disposition or aesthetic habitus amongst those who consumed such cultural goods. Furthermore, such groups used this symbolic capital as a strategy to be recognised as a distinguished social stratum in the city of Ponta Grossa. / Esta dissertação analisa o projeto cultural e educacional do Conservatório Dramático Musical Maestro Paulino Martins Alves (CDM) no período circunscrito entre 1971 e 1995, enfatizando os aspectos que determinaram o processo de sua fundação, bem como os agentes sociais (intelectuais) que o organizaram. Apoia-se nos autores da História Cultural para problematizar as fontes escritas e orais que compõem o corpus documental que, associado à história do ensino de música nos conservatórios europeus e brasileiros e às discussões sobre a natureza do processo educativo dessas instituições, é utilizado para a reconstituição da história institucional do CDM e das experiências de educação musical empreendidas nesse espaço cultural. À luz das considerações de Pierre Bourdieu relacionadas à história da arte e às lutas culturais/simbólicas presentes na sociedade, é possível afirmar que os grupos que atuaram no CDM estabeleceram uma visão de arte, de música e de educação musical que conformou uma disposição ou um habitus estético entre aqueles que consumiam tais bens culturais, assim como usaram esses capitais simbólicos como estratégia para serem reconhecidos como distintos entre os outros estratos sociais de Ponta Grossa.

Tomou-se como recorte temporal do trabalho a década de 1940 até a primeira metade de 1950, tendo em vista o período de atuação das mulheres entrevistadas dentro do Conservatório de Música de Rio Grande. A partir das entrevistas orais, buscou-se identificar as influências familiares, a motivação para o estudo da música, a construção da carreira profissional e a dicotomia entre o ser concertista e o ser professora. Para melhor compreender o contexto social do período, abordaremos o contexto histórico e musical brasileiro entre os séculos XIX e XX, tendo como marco temporal a Proclamação da República até o final da primeira metade do século XX. Neste contexto, enfocaremos aspectos do pensamento positivista, que foram determinantes para o modelo de conduta estabelecido para a mulher no que tange especialmente ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem musical. A partir do contexto da cidade de Rio Grande, dirigimos nosso olhar para o Conservatório de Música de Rio Grande, enfocando sua trajetória e a presença feminina no acervo documental. Trabalharemos com os conceitos de gênero, representação e poder simbólico para compreendermos os diferentes papéis sociais femininos dentro da música, nos meios geradores aqui identificados como família, trabalho e carreira musical. A partir dos relatos orais, buscou-se compreender a vivência musical além do documento, trazendo memórias de sete mulheres que atuaram como professoras, diletantes e artistas. Além de perceber a representação direta que possuem cada um destes papéis, identificamos o processo de conquista do espaço musical pelas mulheres, configurando o Conservatório de Música como importante espaço de atuação feminina na esfera pública. / The research work, titled musical Trajectories Schoolgirls and Women of the Music Conservatory of Rio Grande that here will be presented, sought to identify the forms of representation of women musicians, from the memories of the students and teachers of the Music Conservatory of Rio Grande. He took up work as temporal clipping the 1940s until the first half of 1950, for the period of operation of the women interviewed inside the Music Conservatory of Rio Grande. From oral interviews, sought to identify the family influences, the motivation for the study of music, the construction of the professional career and the dichotomy between concert and be a teacher. To better understand the social context of the period, we will cover the Brazilian musical and historical context between the 19th and 20th centuries, with the timeframe the proclamation of the Republic until the end of the first half of the 20th century. In this context, shadow aspects of positivist thought, which were instrumental to the model of conduct established for women in especially the teaching-learning process. From the context of the Rio Grande, drove our look at the Music Conservatory of Rio Grande, focusing on its trajectory and the female presence in documentary collection. We will work with the concepts of gender, representation and symbolic power to understand the different female social roles within the music, media generators here identified as family, work and career. From oral reports, sought to understand the musical experience in addition to the document, bringing memories of seven women who acted as teachers, amateurish and artists. In addition to realize direct representation with each of these roles, we identified the process of conquest of space music by women, setting up Conservatory of music as an important area of activity of women in the public sphere.

Examinations administered by the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) play a major role in the musical education of many individuals across Canada. The evaluative process needs to be a constructive one in order to ensure its positive impact on students’ musical education. Examiners who are confident and comfortable in their roles as assessors are more likely to provide this ideal environment for the students. Individuals at the dawn of their examining careers are prone to lower confidence and comfort levels due to their inexperience. Yet all music students deserve an optimal examination situation, even from new examiners. Ensuring that an examiner receives proper training will help to increase their confidence and comfort levels while assessing students. This study examined the elements of an examiner’s education, experience and preparation which contributed to higher confidence and comfort levels as they participated in the RCM evaluative process. Ten individuals participated in surveys and interviews. Seven were recent apprentices of the examiner training program and three were senior examiners. Their experiences and insights given in a narrative form shed light on which elements of their background and training benefited them as examiners. According to the participants, varied and extensive pedagogical training, taking exams as students and intensive performance education gave them the most advantages during their early careers as examiners. Regarding the examiner apprenticeship program, participants felt that they would have benefited from more practical experience during the early classroom seminar, additional opportunities to observe students at varying performing levels and more time for discussion with their mentors. These recommendations for background preparation and enhanced training are intended to give examiners greater confidence in their evaluative roles early in their careers, enabling them to provide constructive and effective assessments for students and their teachers.

My inquiry, centered on the applied practice of teaching, confronts the detachment that often disassociates the intellectual study of music theory from the physical experience of music. This pedagogical detachment, perceived as a split between opposing views of knowledge, privileges positivist science over interpretive art (Aróstegui, 2003), producing written competencies that have little or no musical meaning (Rogers, 2004). Endeavouring to re-attach music theory and the music it was initially intended to explain (Dirié, 2014), I constructed four Listening Guides to align with the intermediate-level theory curriculum of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Their construction incorporates elements of design research along with an underlying framework derived from the Kodály Method’s four-step instructional process. Given my multi-faceted personal/professional interactions with music theory, my research project is presented in the form of a quest narrative that weaves together my story and the stories of participant teachers who established the Listening Guides’ potential usefulness through reviewing and implementing interactions. This narrative, as a creative representation of arts-based research practices (Leavy, 2015), is derived from the blurring of specific cognitive findings and less definable aesthetic knowings (Greenwood, 2012). My data, both the prototypical data I designed and the empirical data I collected from focus group discussions with my participants, are filtered through an a/r/tographic lens that acknowledges the coexistence of my artist/researcher/teacher identities. The analysis of our aggregate narrative, as an exploration of music theory pedagogy with, about, in, and through music, relies on the evaluative tools of educational criticism (Eisner, 1991). Unfolding in a mostly linear climb, my quest for a fully integrated music/theory (art/science) pedagogy reaches its apex in the understanding that a music-logic organization confounds the subject-logic of traditional teaching approaches. Thus, my inquiry challenges the customary practices of scientific knowledge-building with a model for artistic “ways-of-knowing” in music theory pedagogy.
