Studies with graduates in Music: what Brazilian publications reveal

Abstract

This article concerns an excerpt from a reorganized and expanded master’s research study that aims to present a systematic literature review on the subject of music education graduates in Brazil until 2019. The search was carried out in major journals specific to music education, annals of events in music education, the Brazilian Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), in addition to complementary searches on Google Scholar. The methodology followed was a systematic literature review (COSTA; ZOLTWSKI, 2014). It is concluded that the most emerging themes in the current Brazilian research scenario on graduates in music education were formation/training, performance, and professional insertion. This study may contribute as a basis for further research on the subject and complement gaps in the literature. In view of this, this research can contribute as a basis for studies on the aforementioned topic, as well as to aid research carried out by other scholars.
