Trajetória docente de Rubens Veiga (1929-2005): Tempo e trabalho na formação de um Músico de Bagé

Abstract

This work has the objective to understand how time and work contributed to the teacher training of Rubens Veiga (teacher and conductor that lived in Bagé, a city in the south of Brazil). The work was developed through document and (auto) biographical researchs with a qualitative approach. The data production methodology was based on nine interviews with family members, former colleagues and former students of Rubens Veiga. A survey of documents about his life and work was also carried out with the family's personal collections and in the Municipal Archive of Bagé. The theoretical framework is focused on the perspective of life stories (ABREU, 2017; 2010) and teaching knowledge (TARDIF, 2002). The research reveals aspects of the local reality faced by Rubens Veiga and the way he was willing to seek solutions for them. Endowed with remarkable versatility as a musician, Rubens Veiga was not only responsible for part of the musical education of generations of bajeenses but he also played an important role in creating conditions for other spaces for musical practice to be created.
