摘要

The diverse environments that musicians transit when in search for their formation aresubjects debated nowadays. Considering that the Music Education thought as an area thatcontemplates the study and the process of music graduation certainly perceives the differentenvironments in which the musical learning occurs. Focusing on it, this paper aims to deepenthe understanding about the formative environment of popular musicians. In that sense, Isubmit to understand the musical formation of the instrumentalists Eduardo Taufic andJubileu Filho, both subjects of this study. This paper brings a literature revising that aims tohighlight the knowledge about the subject. The theoretical foundation provides a mediation onthe debate, pointing the authors’ inferences in constant interlocutions with the field. The casestudy with qualitative approach is the methodological procedure used. During the datacollection, electronic questionnaires, direct observation, a notebook and an open-endedinterview were used. The organization, and eventually, the analysis of the data werematerialized under the discursive textual analysis. The textual analysis construction wasthought from three central points: initial musical formation, musical formation in differentenvironments and musical formation in professionalization contexts. In light of this, theclassification allowed the understanding about the different formative environments in whichpopular musicians transit through from their first spontaneous contact with music to theirprofessional performance. The results reveal the complexity of the formation of popularmusicians. That formation is utterly connected to the practice in different environments. Inthis case, the social environment revealed itself as a strong motivating agent, especially forthe spontaneous treatment that music assumed in those spaces. In addition, family, friends,teacher, technological resources, work environment, musical tests were certainly the greatresponsible for the musical formation of the popular musicians studied in this paper.
