Aula De Cavaquinho A sua afinação varia de acordo com a região do mundo onde ele se encontra e o gênero musical a ser executado. No Brasil usamos a mesma afinação que algumas regiões de Portugal e da ilha da Madeira. Aqui como lá o cavaquinho está extremamente ligado a manifestações populares e festas. É um instrumento musical essencial à nossa cultura popular. Aula de Cavaquinho O cavaquinho é um instrumento musical originário de Braga, na região do Minho, no norte de Portugal. Contudo, talvez um instrumento parecido, que lhe deu origem, tenha sido levado até lá por imigrantes do País Basco, na Espanha. Alguns musicólogos supõem que sua origem remota é a Grécia antiga. Trata-se de um instrumento de quatro cordas, no formato de um violão, mas menor, e de som mais agudo que o dele. É tocado de forma “rasgada”, na qual o músico apenas acompanha a melodia, “rasgando” as cordas com o polegar e o indicador da mão direita em posição rígida, ou de forma “ponteada”, em que o músico sola a melodia. Desde o século XVIII o cavaquinho é um instrumento popular em Portugal, onde tem vários apelidos (entre os quais braguinha, braga, machete, machetinho ou ainda cavaco) e é usado em festas e comemorações. Chegando a Lisboa, capital portuguesa, ficou mais sofisticado e começou a acompanhar outros instrumentos, como o bandolim ou a viola, em pequenos conjuntos instrumentais chamados tunas. Na mesma época, por ser prático de transportar devido ao tamanho, o cavaquinho começou a ser divulgado nas ilhas dos Açores e da Madeira e onde Portugal teve colônias, como Cabo Verde, Angola e Moçambique. Introdução ao Cavaquinho O cavaquinho (pai de outros modelos como a braguinha, braga, machete, machetinho ou machete-de-braga) é um instrumento da família dos cordofones originário do Minho, norte de Portugal, que mais tarde foi amplamente introduzido na cultura popular de Braga pelos nobres Biscainhos e de onde foi depois levado para outras paragens como Brasil, Cabo Verde, Moçambique, Hawaii e Madeira. Como Aprender a Cavaquinho: 1. Treinar todos os dias. 2. Fazer aulas com profissionais. 3. Dedicação. Variedades de Tipo de Cavaquinho: Basicamente, existem dois tipos de cavaquinho, cada um com suas características construtivas: o minhoto e o de Lisboa. Minhoto – Este modelo é muito usado na música popular nortenha; é tocado em “rasgado”, uma técnica possibilitada graças às cordas baixas e quase rentes ao tampo. Lisboa -Esse modelo tem cordas muito acima do tampo. O que permite executar a técnica do “ponteado”, ou seja, com palheta ou unha do polegar da mão direita. Variedades de Uso do Cavaquinho: O cavaquinho está presente nas rodas de samba e de chorinho do Brasil inteiro. Ele também é considerado pai de outros instrumentos, como o uquelele (criado no Havaí a partir da chegada de imigrantes da ilha da Madeira no século XIX) e o cavaquinho elétrico, conhecido como guitarra baiana, inventado pela dupla de músicos Osmar e Dodô nos anos 1940 e que deu origem aos trios elétricos de Salvador, na Bahia. Como o Cavaquinho Pode Ser Usado na Escola: O cavaquinho pode ser introduzido na aula de música escolar, por trazer benefícios que vão melhorar o rendimento do aluno como: Melhora a coordenação motora; Aumenta a responsabilidade; Desenvolver o trabalho em equipe e Aprimorar o português e a matemática. 10 Aulas de Introdução Para Aprender Cavaquinho: O cavaquinho é um instrumento muito tocado por músicos do gênero de samba, e por isso, muitas pessoas que gostam deste estilo de música querem aprender a tocá-lo.

  • 1 1 De Mulheres E Malandros: O Samba De Geraldo Pereira
    Anais do SILEL. Volume 3, Número 1. Uberlândia: EDUFU, 2013. 1 DE MULHERES E MALANDROS: O SAMBA DE GERALDO PEREIRA1 Cilene Margarete PEREIRA Universidade Vale do Rio Verde [email protected] Resumo: Geraldo Pereira nasceu em Juiz de Fora em 1918. Em 1930, o malandro mineiro chegou ao Rio de Janeiro, período de efervescência do samba e década que consagraria Noel Rosa. Dono de uma batida diferente – de um “samba sincopado” –, Geraldo excursionou pelo Morro da Mangueira, convivendo com Carlos Cachaça, Nelson Cavaquinho e Cartola, seu professor de violão, ao lado de Aluísio Dias. Apesar de compor desde 1938, seu primeiro sucesso é o samba de breque “Acertei no milhar” (1940), parceria duvidosa com Wilson Batista. Durante os dezessete anos de carreira – o sambista morreu aos 37 anos –, Geraldo compôs inúmeros sucessos que exploravam temas comuns ao universo do samba. Em sua obra destaca-se, no entanto, a construção de personagens femininas ambíguas, retratadas ora como pérfida, ora como “companheira” fiel, e de malandros, em oposição nítida à vida cordata e opressora do trabalhador humilde. Mas o malandro de Geraldo Pereira pode também se regenerar, inserindo-se no mundo burocratizado do trabalho, a partir do amor feminino. É objetivo deste texto analisar as personagens femininas e os malandros de alguns dos sambas deste mineiro que faz parte da história da música popular brasileira. Palavras-chave: samba; Geraldo Pereira; personagem feminina; malandro. No ano seguinte à ontológica gravação do samba “Pelo telefone”; em 1918, nascia, em Juiz de Fora, Geraldo Theodoro Pereira. O moço de família humilde chegaria ao Rio de Janeiro aos dezoito anos, em 1930, época de consolidação do samba como produto cultural2 e década de consagração de Noel Rosa.3 No Rio, Geraldo foi trabalhar com o irmão mais velho, Manoel Araújo, morador do Santo Antônio, Morro da Mangueira.

  • The Cavaquinho TIMES and WAYS FASHIONS and PLACES
    AC MUSEU CAVAQUINHO João Luís Oliva 2014 The cavaquinho TIMES AND WAYS FASHIONS AND PLACES Why should an old, small and simple – almost rudimentary – four-stringed instrument play nowadays a relevant role in contemporary artistic expression on a global level? In fact, in a world of music and of music of the world, the strength held by Brazil or the Cape Verde of the Atlantic are inseparable from the acoustic presence of the Brazilian or Cape Verdean cavaquinho; and the American ukulele from Hawaii, a migrant grandchild of the Portuguese instrument – we will later see why ‘grandchild’ rather than ‘child’ - is the present leading character of a powerful World music movement despite its aged and ever-melodious grandfather, the cavaquinho from Minho, still being played in the Portuguese northwest in a unique and unrepeatable way from any other string instrument. It should be noted – only as an example but without ignoring in the 21st century the strength of electronic communication – that looking up in the world’s most used search engine in the web, at the time when this piece was being revised, in March 2013, it registered 3 million videos and 4 million references to the word «cavaquinho». And the research on the «ukulele» registered the immense number of 86 million videos in almost 40 million results with a daily increase of hundreds of registers. What is aimed at here, through a collection of notes and references, is to examine this singularity by going over and commenting the historic, geographic, social and aesthetic turns of the cavaquinho. Far from being an original investigation – others, duly mentioned, have done it – and also not being a scholarly study, it does not mean to be a list of quotes, or an organised register of common knowledge either.

  • The Brazilian Seven-String Guitar: Traditions, Techniques and Innovations
    The Brazilian seven-string guitar: Traditions, techniques and innovations Adam John May Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music - Musicology/Ethnomusicology (with course work component) September 2013 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper i Abstract Since the early 1980s a new and unique repertoire has emerged for the seven-string guitar, known in Portuguese as the violão de sete-cordas, a Brazilian instrument typically played in choro ensembles. This thesis demonstrates, through musical analysis, that this new repertoire is a result of two converging musical influences, both the Brazilian six-string guitar repertoire and the traditional accompaniment role of the seven-string guitar in choro ensembles. Choro is a genre of Brazilian instrumental music that developed in Rio de Janeiro during the late nineteenth century and continues to be played throughout Brazil, as well as gaining popularity in other parts of the world. The Brazilian seven-string guitar emerged in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the twentieth-century; photographic evidence and recordings confirm that it was included in choro ensembles as early as the 1910s. Traditionally strung with steel strings and played using a metal thumb-pick, the instrument provides a counterpoint accompaniment line that is generally improvised. In the early 1980s a small number of musicians experimented with the use of nylon strings; this resulted in timbral variations and greater expressive qualities similar to the standard classical guitar. Guitarists began to use this new version of the seven-string guitar as a solo instrument, as well as in other musical settings outside of typical choro groups; this significant development is referred to as the duas escolas or two schools of performance practice.
