In the sense of a teaching adjusted to the purposes and goals recommended for Basic Education, an appropriate selection of didactic resources to be used becomes fundamental. Thus, it was thought to use the song as a pedagogical tool, as suggested by several pedagogues, such as Willems, Kodály or Suzuki, for the learning and development of musical and technical skills of the cello, thus seeking a greater motivation and interest of the student. The research was elaborated in two parts, where in the frst one a documentary research was carried out, preparatory to the empirical study in order to elaborate a compendium of traditional and/or popular Portuguese children's songs adapted to the cello and in the second section an action investigation was developed with the objective of understanding the use of these songs as a didactic-pedagogical tool for the development of skills, and its implications for parental involvement in monitoring the study of its learners. The results showed that efectively the selected songs were facilitating the development of technical skills mainly of fnger patterns and musical aspects, such as: tuning, listening and rhythm. In addition, the results showed that students who had more follow-up by parents/guardians had better results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
