Abstract

PERES, Juliana de Morais et al. Resilience and erudite music education: study in social project with outskirts youth. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2018, n.46, pp. 61-70. ISSN 1414-6975.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the participation in a social project of erudite musicalization supports or facilitates the construction of resilience in young people from the outskirts. The participants were young members of a musicalization project, promoted by an NGO in the city of Natal, Brazil. Participant observation, the Life Line technique and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection procedures. As a result, it was found that, although the participants have sought, with involvement in the project, something positive after difficulties experienced, most of them do not see such project as a priority. In spite of the positive statements about the project and music, it was evidenced that the connection with the project is, in most cases, only attributed to the acquisition of musical technique. The participants report that some friends and relatives find it odd and discourage them when it comes to erudite music, but some are also curious about it or ask for more dedication. Some of the participants point out that erudite music is not attractive or helpful when one has a difficult life; others, however, found support in dealing with adversity - a support for the development of resilience.

Keywords : non-formal education; music teaching; young people; social project; resilience (psychology).
