Arte de Ser Professor : o projecto musical e formativo Grande Bichofonia

"One of the concerns of the work we've been doing at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, the Department of Communication and Art of the Universidade de Aveiro and the Companhia de Música Teatral has been to help ensure that music reaches our children more and better.

‘This book is one of the centrepieces of this work, based on solid reflections and principles, which aims to inspire others. By creating Grande Bichofonia we have opened up a path that has marked our journey and already inspired other projects. We are now in a position to share our experience, articulating it with the work of colleagues in similar fields.

This publication reports on a particular project, but it also aims to promote wider reflection on relevant issues and access to materials and strategies that ‘resonate’ with our experience. Part of it comes from teacher training, from which the Grande Bichofonia project was born. Some of these reflections, included in the chapter ‘The Grande Grande Bichofonia project in the context of teacher training: from theory to practice’, take a critical view of this."
