Limits e possibilities of the right to education: contributions of Paulo Freire to the Musical Teaching

Abstract

The present article belongs to the discussions about the return of the Musical Teaching  to the basic education in Brazil, as a result of the Law nº 11.769 sanctioned in August 2008 by the president at the time Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Aimming at the social universe of the Public School, the text defends that the political and pedagogical purposes of the Musical Teaching  must be searched over a larger comprehension about the process of the social construction of the brazilian public school: over the apprehension of its historic determinations and of the remarkable precariousness of its expansion, as well as its availability to uses really concerned to an democratic and emancipating education.  In order to attain of these objectives, the text makes use, among other authors, of Paulo Freire´s pedagogical ideas.
