Resumo(s)
The purpose of this paper is to share the success story of a choral music
education program for children and youth, to discuss its benefits to
members, and to relate the results to current best practice and research.
Beyond its musical and artistic purposes, the Coral Polifónico Juvenil
intended to promote on its members, aged between 10 and 16 years, the
development of personal, interpersonal, and social skills. The most
important findings are that the musical participation in the choral
activity has had very positive impacts on pupil’s perceptions, attitudes
and beliefs toward music in general and toward choral music
participation at school. The pupils felt important, happy, and more useful
as well as appreciated by their colleagues at school, by their families, and
their communities. They expressed a sense of responsibility and
conscientiousness, with notions of values of persistency and perseverance. Regarding interpersonal benefits, they acknowledged in these
activities an excellent chance to relate themselves with others and to
enlarge their cultural and musical experiences. The pupils recognized
that their participation in the choral activity provided them with opportunities to develop their personal, social, and cultural skills and
knowledge, as well as providing them with other professional
perspectives.
