A afinação do violino

: noções de temperamento para desenvolvimento da acuidade auditiva e melhoria da afinação no contexto musical

Abstract

This Final Report shows and materializes the path carried out during my internship, through the Professional Practice (PP), under the theme: Violin tuning: Notions of temperament in the development of auditory acuity and in the improvement of tuning, in academic contexts. Aiming to highlight the developments carried out with a group of students from the violin classes, from the Conservatory of Music of Oporto (CMP), it is divided into two fundamental and complementary parts: The first part includes a set of sessions and guidelines that make up this Professional Practice (PP), namely organized and guided planning, attended classes, taught classes, and the development of didactic materials. The second part includes the methodological procedures that guide, in the form of a scientific article, a Pedagogical Intervention Project (PIP), conceived and carried out by me, whose research questions are situated within the scope of the following horizons: Is tuning a learning process that can be worked through audiation? Or, is it simply training through rote and repetition? How can a systematic theoretical framework, using the concepts of acoustics (harmonics series) and musical theory (M/m and sensitive triads) - in short temperament - help the violin student to better audiar and thus improve the tuning? In order to obtain answers to this problem, an action-research was carried out, the results of which confirm the relevance of this research, confirming and emphasizing the need to carry out other projects and programs that lead students to substantial improvements in their instrumental practices, everyday.
