Abstract

In the present interview, Bruno Mangueira (a Brazilian guitarist, composer, arranger, professor and researcher) shares his process of musical development through a conversation emphasizing the investigation on the development of harmonic perception.  Mangueira comes from a generation of guitarists that had access to higher education in popular music. However, before university he experienced educational processes that were non-formal and informal, related to popular music. Such educational processes were not only incorporated in his musical practice, but also in his pedagogical practice. Mangueira performs both in artistic and academic careers. His trajectory has the potential to collaborate with the processes of teaching and learning on popular music.
