Bandas de música - tradição, identidade e história em Ponta Grossa: uma possibilidade para o ensino da história local

Abstract

The present study points out a production perspective for the teaching of local history in the city of Ponta Grossa presenting possibilities for teaching history in basic education. Starting from the premise that local history contributes to the formation of the identity of the learners, strengthening in them the feeling of belonging to the locality where they live, as well as contributing to their perceiving themselves as participatory agents of history, we sought to study the presence of the bands of music as producers of culture and an integral part of the identity of the people of Ponta Grossa. Since the 19th century, music bands have been cultural agents present in the most diverse civic, religious or festive moments of the city. Until now, their presence is almost mandatory in the most diverse festive events of the city, which makes these corporations musical instruments without a doubt instruments of cultural diffusion and elements that contribute to the formation of a local identity, constituting themselves as assets of the Cultural Patrimony of the city.
