Abstract(s)
In Portugal, the curricular guidelines for Basic Music Education presuppose the
development of pedagogical experiences that enhance the liberty and creativity of
the students, who should be able to improvise and compose musical pieces through
the combination of several musical elements, manipulating gradually more complex
techniques and technologies (Ministry of Education, 2018). However, we believe
that ew Music Education teachers eel confident and capable to promote such
pedagogical experiences, perhaps because they are highly challenging, since they
involve student's cognitive, physical-motor, and creative abilities (Heble & Laver, 2016).
This communication aims to address some issues about the meaning and importance
that uture Music Education teachers (finalist students o a Master's in Basic Music
Education Teaching) attribute to improvisation, composition and, inherently, to liberty
and creativity in musical teaching-learning processes. At the same time, we intend to
find out i musical liberty and creativity in Music was present in their raduation and i
they intend to work it in future Music Education contexts. Based on the intrinsic case
study method (Stake, 1995), this study covers finalists o the Basic Music Education
Teaching master’s degree of a Portuguese Superior School of Education (n=8). The
data collection took place through the application of an individual questionnaire and
a focus group interview. The results obtained indicate that, in accordance with the
established by the Ministry of Music Education (2018), the future Music Education
teachers attribute high value and relevance to musical improvisation and composition
and, therefore, to liberty and creativity in Music Education, denoting that these same
aspects could (and should) be much more present in their graduation
