Early Childhood Education and Development

In this exploratory study, we describe the learning experiences of adolescents from a social project called Orquestrando Talentos, which offered violin and viola lessons in two high-needs schools for low-income students in Erechim, Southern Brazil. Grounded on the central tenets of popular education, on Paulo Freire’s work, and on earlier studies on the experiences of students from community-based strings programs, in this article we share the voices of six violin students (aged 12–14), their parents, and teachers, particularly as they relate to students’ socioemotional learning and the social impact of the program on families, schools, and communities.
