To do so, the methodology is based on case study method was chosen to approach the pedagogical practices of an accordion teacher working in the city of Bagé in Brazil. For the data generation, filmed observations and semi-structured interviews were conducted to cover both observable actions and the meanings attributed by the teacher to them. As theoretical reference, was adopted the educational research interpretative perspective as enunciated by Pérez Gómez (1998). As a result of this research it's possible to affirm that the selection of technical content in the teaching practice of this particular teacher is based on the articulation between the teacher's musical experience, the interests of students, the consideration of practices between an accordionists community and the available didactic materials.

This exploratory study can be considered as a contribution it helps to question the idea of technique in the musical-pedagogical practices and to present analysis categories ot yet explored by the literature on the subject. It can also instigate other studies that dialogue with teaching and learning of accordion and technical contents in general, thus contributing to a growing literature.
