SONORITIES ON THE THRESHOLD

Abstract

This paper presents a synthesis of the research carried out by the team of Circus Boehm (CB), a project in musical education developed within the Faculty of Fine Arts of the National Pedagogic University (UPN) in Bogotá. The permanent dialogue between theoretical and practical issues embraces insights and analysis referring to the concepts of Culture, Boundary Thought, Colonialism, Cross-Culturality and Music Education. Throughout three chapters of the thesis, a thoughtful discussion on some of the main elements of culture is made, particularly addressing music as an educational practice. Its major purpose is to establish educational and artistic links between a musical ensemble and the possibility of following an alternative path. Therefore, I propose in the thesis a way of teaching a musical instrument through collective practices whose meaning is to be found in the difference, the diverse and the opposite, all to complement the classic tradition and its teaching.
