Regardless of the field, the establishment of a curriculum is intrinsically connected with discussions that incorporate struggles from broader social contexts. A scrutinizing analysis of a music course’s curriculum can disclose complex power structures that interfere with the social perception not only of the courses’ direct stakeholders but also with the perception of general members of society. In this context, the current article has as its main aim to reflect on possible connections between the establishment of the curriculum of an influential higher education music institution and the general social perception toward different types of musical knowledge. Influenced by a postcolonial perspective and focused on Salvador, a Brazilian northeastern city, this investigation has three specific aims to support the general purpose: 1) to review the literature which discusses the connections between social struggles and curriculum development; 2) to contextualize the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) in the Salvador city by presenting their main characteristics that are related to the presented discussion; and 3) to examine the curriculum of the course “Instrument – Acoustic Guitar” offered at UFBA. Supported by the aforementioned aims, this inquiry employs the “Qualitative Document Analysis” methodology to analyze academically relevant sources that can support and foster the proposed reflections. Likewise, this paper intends to contribute to the ongoing scientific debate about the impact of social structures in the curricula of higher education music courses and to stimulate conscious and active participation of higher education organizations in the promotion of fairer societies.
Con el lanzamiento del protocolo MIDI, se han desarrollado nuevos recursos y posibilidades para la interpretación, composición y edición musical. Debido a la creciente expansión de las capacidades de almacenamiento y procesamiento de los ordenadores, también ha sido posible aumentar la calidad y la especificidad de las bibliotecas de muestras. En tal escenario, esta investigación de métodos mixtos tiene como objetivo principal investigar las actuaciones de los bateristas centrándose en desarrollar vías para incorporar sus características en la secuenciación MIDI. Derivado de ello, se establecieron cuatro objetivos específicos: 1) presentar los elementos básicos del muestreo y protocolo MIDI; 2) secuenciar las actuaciones de los bateristas; 3) aplicar cuestionarios de evaluación de la calidad de los audios generados en secuencia; 4) presentar el análisis de los resultados. Los resultados de la investigación demuestran que algunas características, como la variación del timbre y la dinámica, son determinantes para la aceptación de la secuencia por parte de la audiencia
