O ensino especializado da música em Portugal e em Cuba

: análise e comparação do modelo organizativo e pedagógico

Abstract

Music is one of the most practiced artistic expressions worldwide. In each country, the processes involved in the specialized teaching of this art relate to their very own organizational and pedagogical frameworks, influenced by their historical, political, sociocultural and financial contexts. The present study investigates the specialized music schooling in two different countries: Portugal and Cuba, through a comparative analysis, to find their similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses. Focusing on aspects related to the schools where music is part of the study plan in both countries, on its different courses, on the frameworks experienced, the necessary finance, and on the existing curriculum options, amongst other relevant considerations, preliminary results of this analysis show that there are similarities and differences, pros and cons in both contexts under study. Therefore, the data collected in this investigation aim to provide reflection on current practices within this area and as a basis for future investigations.
