Benefícios da teoria musical no ensino de bateria: um relato de experiência no projeto “som do céu”

Abstract

This work consists of addressing the importance of musical notation in drummer training, investigating the relationship between theory and practice. The musical notation presents symbols related to the different parts that make up the set of its apparatuses, rhythms, notes referring to the different parts of the drums transcribed in the score (snare, hi-hat, bass drum, etc.). However, learning the drums is not always linked to this form of formal teaching, but rather the oral form and learning methods and self-teaching. So, this research proposes to analyze, in a qualitative way, based on a bibliographic review, the importance of reading and musical notation for the instrumental practice of the drums. This study was based on observations and experiences with students in drum classes for beginners in the project “Som do Céu” at Evangelical Church Verbo da Vida, Avenida Juca Sampaio, 22 - Barro Duro, Maceió - Al, during the period of June to August 2022. Practical experience has shown that music theory is crucial for the effective development of popular drummer musicians and the improvement of their dynamics and relationship with the instrument, with the positive impacts and contribution of musical notation being notorious for progression and significant improvement of students at the initial level.
