RESUMO

The present dissertation discusses the challenges of teaching and learning solmization by means of the software Finale. This work recounts some experiences and results of a research conducted during the years 2007 and 2008 as they happened in the classroom, where a computer software for editing scores was used to facilitate, embody and serve as tool for learning solmization. In that context, this text aims at showing that, given the paradigmatic crisis surrounding the ways of teaching such ability, new perspectives are unveiled by the use of a non-traditional learning environment in which the supporting tool for solmization is not a piano or other musical instrument, but the computer and music notation software Finale. Here the focus of the subject to be learned is not lost, but the active participation of the student is encouraged, who also creates his own exercises for auditory training as well as sight-singing. In this perspective, a case study was conducted with a class of seven students enrolled in the first semester of a music school for aspiring professionals. Our purpose was to understand what could be the possible contribution of this type of software in learning solmization. On the first part of the text, there is an introduction to the subject and the research problems that originated the investigation, as well as a theoretic background on the universe that characterizes the use of technology and computers in our everyday life and in music. There is the introduction of the concept of solmization and a brief word on the use of software in music teaching. The second part regards the methodology that was adopted and the description of participant students works. The investigation is of a qualitative nature and, therefore, is descriptive and interpretative. For that purpose, the tools for gathering data were students class logs and interviews. Finally, we have the discussion of results achieved and possible conclusions. With the data analysis, we reach the conclusion that the software Finale has contributed to a more dynamic environment that facilitates the road to learning solmization. We have also realized that students were more motivated and stimulated to do the proposed exercises, resulting in significant learning.
