Given that formal singing education in the Western world, and specifically in Brazil, has been based on the tradition of classical singing, the formalization of popular singing has been progressing slowly and gradually for just over thirty years. The main objective of the research is to describe and analyze practices in this field of teaching and learning, with a focus on the professional conduct of singing teachers. The main tool for data production is participant observation in singing classes, courses, workshops, roundtable discussions, conferences, and study groups. Other tools used include field diaries and conducting in-person and digital platform interviews. The analytical methodology is based on social theories by Michel de Certeau (1988 [1980]), Howard Becker (2010 [1982]), Henry Kingsbury (1988) and Bruno Latour (2005). As suggested by Sandroni (2017), the research takes place in “mediation spaces,” meeting places between singing voice professionals, beyond the classroom, where experience exchange occurs democratically: study and research groups, academic meetings and conferences, associations of voice professionals, discussion lists, etc. Based on Latour (2005), the concept of “mediation space” here is expanded to include not only the idea of a place “beyond the classroom” or even the fixed notion of an infrastructure, but also any instance where there is “mediation,” the agency, communication, transformation of human and non-human actants, and the constitution of associative networks (network-spaces) which, when made and undone, are apprehended in their mobile dynamics. We conclude that collective actions in "mediation spaces" constitute a sociological phenomenon of mobility, where struggles for credibility, stabilization, and cooperative characteristics are observed, fostering the professional advancement of their members.

In addition to this, there is the fact that the teaching of the viola is more or less 100 years behind the teaching of other instruments. The viola became a major subject at the School of Music at U.F.R.J. (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) in 1988, while in Europe, it had been a major since the end of the 19th century. The foundation of the School of Music at U.F.R.J. happened in 1848, when Francisco Manuel da Silva inaugurated the classes at the Conservatory, which the Imperial Government authorized to found, through the passing of the Decree n. 238, of November 27, 1841. This Decree was regulated by the Decree n. 496, of January 21, 1947. The date of August 13, 1948 happens to be, then, the initial mark of the existence of this House (Azevedo, 1950, p. 81). It is worthwhile mentioning that famous works like "Harold en Italie", by Hector Berlioz and the "Sonata par la Grand Viola and Orchestra" by Niccolè Paganini were written at the time our Imperial Conservatory of Music was founded. The spreading of the symphonism started very late among us. It was not before the beginning of this Century that the great master Francisco Braga took the first steps into the divulgation of the symphonic repertoire. Our principal orchestras are, in average, 60 years old. Since 1920, composers like Villa-Lobos, Francisco Mignone, Camargo Guarnieri, Radamés Gnattli, Guerra Peixe, among others, have been writing works in which the parts for the viola demand a deep knowledge of the instrument from the violist. However, the teaching of the viola was done by violin teachers, which leads us to infer that the viola was considered similar to the violin by all. In spite of all these obstacles, which come up against the accomplishment of this work, we believe we are giving out a contribution to this instrument and, this way, we are stopping a gap, after so much time the viola has been forgetten by those who saw it, or still see it, in a reversed way.

The research was developed on a descriptive form by the analysis of the studied material, which proved to be reference for the following statement. It is been adopted, as an instrument of measurement, a questionary to search the opinions about the focused theme on the study, which has been answered by piano teachers, pianists, and students of piano in different levels of graduation. The main conclusion of the work, that embraces a series of preoccupations about the body conscience in piano-teaching-apprenticeship and in instrument execution, is this: Every activities in the quality of human beings, including the pianistic one, needs an effective performance by what we consider body, because being conscious of this same body, sends us to our interior, primeval, our total.
