Abstract

This is a study about the life of the teacher and conductor Norberto Nogueira Soares. The research is situated in Pelotas, specifically at the Sociedade Musical União Democrata and at the Home of childrem of The Salvation Army, where Norberto Soares acted as music teacher and conductor. The research is situated between 1940 and 1970 - At 1940 the foundation of the Home of childrem of The Salvation Army - Norberto Soares death at 1977. During this period, music belong to the brasilian scholar curriculum, and was called Orpheonic Singing. Through the teacher’s life we analyse the relation between music and discipline, and the influence it had on his students life. Theoretically the relation music/discipline is based on certain concepts of Foucault, concerning the dominium of bodys and spaces, and also by Makarenko, on the collective education.
