Canto, bem-estar e qualidade de vida: as oficinas "educando a voz"

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze how participants in collective singing classes gave meaning to their experiences in the classes of the "Educando a Voz" workshops, held between 2006 and 2017 at the Yara Tupynambá Arts Center in Itaúna (MG). By means of a phenomenological analysis, an understanding of the existence of eight categories of experience was obtained, being 5 individual categories and 3 collective ones. It was observed that the vocal practice in the workshops provided well-being and a better quality of life to the participants of that group. It is expected that this study may provide subsidies that can contribute to the planning and execution of actions that facilitate personal development and the establishment and improvement of social relations through collective musical practices.
