The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in growth on the reading and mathematics FCAT 2.0 across varying levels of instrumental music participation by both low- and high-socioeconomic status (SES) middle school students, and to determine whether or not there is a relationship between instrumental music participation and socioeconomic status. The differences between instrumental music participation groups were not found to be statistically significant for both the reading and mathematics FCAT 2.0 growth by high-SES status students, and for reading FCAT 2.0 growth by low-SES status students. The differences between groups were found to be significant for mathematics FCAT 2.0 growth by low-SES students, but a Tukey HSD post-hoc test found no significant differences between the individual groups. The study also found that high-SES students had a higher rate of instrumental music participation in sixth grade, and a lower attrition rate between sixth and seventh grade than the low-SES students.

Partindo de análises de fonogramas do disco, verificou-se que o grupo produziu uma linguagem híbrida, operando com elementos musicais regionais, principalmente aqueles identificados com a cultura sertaneja nordestina, articulados a procedimentos de outros gêneros e estilos associados a repertórios cosmopolitas. A investigação partiu de duas hipóteses: a possibilidade do ideário nacional-popular dos anos 60 ter balizado as escolhas estéticas dos músicos, orientando-os na retomada de tradições musicais brasileiras; e a de que a ruptura com o jazz, expressa nos discursos dos músicos, é relativa, uma vez que há sinais evidentes de procedimentos típicos do gênero norte-americano na construção da sonoridade característica do quarteto. O projeto artístico que orientou a produção do referido LP refletiu, na opinião dos próprios músicos, a preocupação com o "nacionalismo musical" e a busca de uma sonoridade "tipicamente brasileira". Tudo isso se traduziu em aspectos de arranjo, instrumentação e improvisação que se remetem às tradições musicais populares. A proposta do Quarteto Novo estava inserida num contexto de grande efervescência política e cultural impulsionada por artistas e intelectuais sintonizados com o que Ridenti definiu como "brasilidade revolucionária", uma construção simbólica que se constituiu numa maneira específica de auto-compreensão do Brasil naqueles anos, com forte conotação utópica. A brasilidade revolucionária serviu de parâmetro para a mobilização de uma geração de intelectuais e artistas que protagonizou uma das mais importantes experiências de arte engajada da história brasileira. Nessa conjuntura, a idealização de um autêntico "homem do povo", com raízes rurais, sertanejas, orientou boa parte da produção artística daqueles anos, da qual o disco Quarteto Novo pode ser considerado um exemplo significativo / Abstract: The object of this work is the musical production of the Brazilian group Quarteto Novo recorded on the homonymous LP released by Odeon in 1967. Based on analysis of phonograms disk has been found that the group produced a hybrid language, working with regional musical elements, especially those identified with the Brazilian Northeastern culture, articulated to techniques from other genres and styles. The investigation started with two assumptions: the possibility of national-popular ideology of the 60 Tues christened the aesthetic choices of the musicians, guiding them in the recovery of Brazilian musical traditions; and that the idea of rupture with jazz, expressed in the speeches of their own musicians, is relative, since there is very clear signs of typical procedures of jazz in the sonority of the Quarteto Novo. The aesthetic project that guides the production of that LP reflected, in the opinion of the musicians themselves, the concern with the "musical nationalism" and the search for a sound "typically Brazilian". All this has translated into aspects of arrangement, instrumentation and improvisation which refer to the popular music traditions. The proposal of the Quarteto Novo was embedded in a context of great political and cultural ferment stimulated by artists and intellectuals in tune with what Ridenti defined as "revolutionary Brazilianness," a symbolic construction that was a specific way of self-understanding of Brazil in those years, with a strong utopian connotation. The "revolutionary Brazilianness" served as a parameter to mobilize a generation of intellectuals and artists who starred in one of the most important experiences of activist art of Brazilian history. At this conjuncture, the idealization of a real "man of the people" with rural roots oriented much of the artistic production of those years, of which the disc Quarteto Novo is one of the most significant examples / Mestrado / Fundamentos Teoricos / Mestre em Música
