Abstract

It is under the context of formalization of popular music in higher education, that Hilton Jorge "Gogô" is featured for actively participating in this process of formalization. The present work comprises, therefore, the description and musical analysis of Gogô?s pedagogical procedures, developed during his twenty-year tenure as a professor of popular piano at UNICAMP. A study of his life trajectory was also realized in order to understand the base reference of his pedagogical procedures and aesthetic choices. This study has been designed from the stand point of two perspectives: the biographic and the socio-cultural. It was then possible to find that Gogô was part of a generation characterized by an informal process of learning which systematized its knowledge according to North-American methods. He was, however, one of the few in his generation to develop an academic career at the University. It is in this transit between the environments of popular music production and the University that the synthesis of the informal and formal learning processes found in Gogô?s pedagogical procedures is processed. On one hand, the professor reproduces in the class room elements of formal learning present in the North-American methods, such as the standardization and systematization of contents. On the other hand, there is a constant insertion of elements of informal learning in his methodology, such as the individual approach to each student and the promotion of the concept of the professor-facilitator. Therefore, it is possible to verify a process of construction and deconstruction in his classes, submitting the formal and standard aspects of the teaching to the informality, and indentify the trajectory followed by Gogô in his classes: from the practice and musical experiences to the directed study; from the professional practice to the academic training; from the informal learning to the systematized teaching (AU)
