The aim of a music class is to master the language of music without leaving aside the fun. Music teaching is one that arouses enthusiasm and curiosity by tuning the student's particular objectives to the singularities of repertoires that dialogue beyond the barriers of already established aesthetic currents. Teaching music is continuous learning, but the instruction it can become disadvantageous when there are no incentives to encourage good habits. In order for these habits to be established, skills and techniques are explored during classes that aim to awaken listening, in this context, practice is allied with imagination, learning an instrument is not treated as a monotonous activity, as an accurate musical practice invokes improvisation and creativity, indispensable tools in the construction of the different scenarios of music making.
