Particularities of trombone teaching in the sociocultural reality of Colombian universities

Abstract

In the framework of my doctoral thesis, “european and north american methodologies for the teaching of trombone in public universities (1980-2016): an adaptation to the cultural and academic reality of Colombia”, I have written an article that shows the vicissitudes and difficulties of the inclusion of this specific undergraduate degree, to be understood and assimilated, in the conditions of the structuring staging of the public university. This, that took on a typical career of 'training in a conservatoire’, was not prepared for this insertion, and shows incomprehension of the concrete characteristics of the instrumental musical art and its training. We try, through research and critical analysis, to show the necessary transformation processes in its implementation, so that this career can have an equal and proficient inclusion and can be in accordance with the global demands of competence and training quality.
