LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE GUIDELINES AND BASES OF EDUCATION AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE TRAINING OF MUSIC TEACHERS IN BRAZIL

This article aims to present a basis on the Brazilian national legislation regarding music teachers’ training based on a historical review and a survey of laws that are in force today. The relevance is presented in demonstrating how the training of music teachers is related to the discussion of music teaching in Brazil through Federal Law nº 11769/2008, which guarantees the content of music within the arts discipline; CNE/CP Resolution No. 2, of July 1, 2015, for higher-level training; and Resolution No. 2, of May 10, 2016, and how they reflect on the initial training of music educators. It is a qualitative documentary approach, with document analysis as methodological procedure, which used legislation, periodic articles and book chapters to provide a foundation in authors who address music education and teacher training throughout history and their legislative processes.. At the end, it was understood that the training of music teachers has, in part, its stability despite changes in the guidelines on education in the music area. Nevertheless, there is a necessity to continue insisting on raising awareness of the importance of music so that there will be no regression of the victories achieved over time.
