Um surdo na música: experiência de ensino de flauta doce na Fundação Fé e Alegria (RN)

Abstract

This paper reports on the experience of teaching the recorder to a deaf student at Fundação Fé e Alegria, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The main objective was to investigate the possibilities of using the recorder as a musical instrument accessible to deaf individuals. The specific objectives were: to carry out a teaching experience involving the recorder with a deaf student from the institution; to reflect on the process of musical inclusion of this student; and to analyze both the pedagogical journey and the outcomes achieved. The methodology adopted followed a qualitative approach, characterized as an experience report. The results indicated that, with appropriate pedagogical adaptations, the recorder can be accessible to deaf individuals, demonstrating significant progress in the student’s learning. The final considerations highlight the importance of inclusive educational practices and the potential of music as a tool for social and cultural transformation, emphasizing the need for personalized approaches in music education.
