Resumo

Este artigo tem como objetivo revisar aspectos cognitivos e fisiológicos relacionados ao solfejo, baseado nos estudos de Sloboda (2008), Sternberg (2008), Penttinen e Houvinen (2011), Barbosa (2018), dentre outros. A pesquisa teórica foi dividida em duas partes. Os resultados mostram que a baixa eficiência no solfejo está associada a vários fatores, devendo o regente observar a forma como o cantor respira, canta e move os olhos, bem como sua postura, o conhecimento teórico e as vivências musicais que traz consigo.

Beyond Notes and Rhythms: A Cognitive-Physiological Approach to the Practice of Solfeggio

The main goal of this article is to review cognitive and physiological aspects related to the practice of solfeggio, based on the studies of Sloboda (2008), Sternberg (2008), Penttinen and Houvinen (2011), Barbosa (2018), among others. This theoretical research is divided into two parts. The results show that the low efficiency in the solfeggio is associated with several factors. The conductor must observe the way the singer breathes, sings and moves the eyes, as well as his posture, the theoretical knowledge and the musical experiences that he brings with him.
