| Abstract (English): | Objective: This historical investigation focuses on the Collegium Musicum of Buenos Aires, a private artistic and educational institution founded in 1946 that is still active today. The goal is to introduce those responsible for the project and describe how its innovative contributions to the arts and education were developed and consolidated for adults, youth, and children, as well as its influence on school music education. Relevance: History reveals that the goal of this new venture was to create a space in Buenos Aires where numerous generations of music lovers could experience the musical phenomenon as listeners or active participants and enjoy music for its own sake. To this end, a choir was formed, and an extensive concert program was created. This program featured a repertoire that was rarely or never performed in traditional venues. Additionally, a varied program of courses, lectures, and roundtable discussions was developed. Method: Qualitative, historical research. The Collegium Musicum's extensive archive was an invaluable resource for updating this story. Both in-person and email interviews were equally important. Strategies: The document collection and analysis comes from diverse sources, including internal documents, personal documentation, newspaper archives, bibliographies, and personal testimonies. Ethnographic aspects are considered, as well as a didactic assessment. Conclusions: This paper answers the following questions about a children's music education project that was conceived as something entirely different from what was offered in primary schools: When, where, how, why, and for what purpose was it conceived? What innovations did the Collegium Musicum contribute to children's music education both within and outside the institution? The Collegium Musicum was a space for experimenting with music pedagogies that were later applied in the Argentine school system and extended to other Spanish-speaking countries.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo: la presente investigación histórica se refiere a una institución artístico-educativa privada, fundada en 1946 y todavía activa: el Collegium Musicum de Buenos Aires. El propósito es dar a conocer a los responsables de este proyecto y dar cuenta de cómo se gestaron y consolidaron los novedosos aportes tanto en el campo artístico como educativo, con adultos, jóvenes y niños, y su influencia en la educación musical escolar. Originalidad/Aporte: la historia revela que el objetivo de este nuevo emprendimiento fue permitir que numerosas generaciones de aficionados a la música pudieran ser parte de un espacio en Buenos Aires que les permitiera tomar conciencia del fenómeno musical como oyentes o participantes activos para disfrutar la música por la música misma. Para ello se creó un coro, un amplio programa de conciertos con un repertorio poco o nada frecuentado en las salas habituales y un programa variado de cursos, conferencias, mesas redondas, etc. Método: investigación de tipo cualitativo, de carácter histórico. El completo archivo del Collegium Musicum fue una fuente invaluable de información para traer esta historia al presente. No menos importantes fueron las entrevistas personales o vía correo electrónico. Estrategias/Recolección de la información: recolección y análisis documental de fuentes diversas que incluyen documentos internos, documentación personal, hemeroteca, bibliografía y testimonios personales. Se tienen en cuenta aspectos de enfoque etnográfico, así como una valoración didáctica. Conclusiones: el presente trabajo responde cuándo, dónde, cómo, por qué y para qué se gestó un proyecto educativo musical infantil, totalmente diferente a lo que se ofrecía en las escuelas primarias y cuáles fueron las innovaciones que el Collegium Musicum aportó a la educación musical infantil puertas adentro y fuera de la institución. Fue un ámbito de experimentación de pedagogías musicales que pasaron a aplicarse en el sistema escolar argentino y se proyectaron a otros países hispanohablantes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | Objetivo: A presente pesquisa histórica refere-se a uma instituição artístico-educacional privada, fundada em 1946 e ainda em atividade: o Collegium Musicum de Buenos Aires. O objetivo é dar a conhecer os responsáveis por esse projeto e relatar como foram concebidas e consolidadas as contribuições inovadoras tanto no campo artístico quanto no educacional, com adultos, jovens e crianças, e sua influência na educação musical escolar. Relevância: A história revela que o objetivo desse novo empreendimento era permitir que várias gerações de amantes da música fizessem parte de um espaço que não existia em Buenos Aires, o que lhes permitiria tomar consciência do fenômeno musical como ouvintes ou participantes ativos para desfrutar da música pela música. Para isso, foi criado um coral, um amplo programa de concertos com um repertório raramente ou nunca frequentado nas salas habituais e um programa variado de cursos, conferências, mesas redondas etc. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa e histórica. O arquivo completo do Collegium Musicum foi uma fonte inestimável de informações para trazer essa história para o presente. Não menos importantes foram as entrevistas pessoais ou por e-mail. Estratégias: Coleta documental e análise de várias fontes, incluindo documentos internos, documentação pessoal, arquivos de jornais, bibliografia e testemunhos pessoais. Aspectos etnográficos são levados em conta, bem como uma avaliação didática. Conclusões: Por sua vez, este artigo tenta responder quando, onde, como, por que e com que finalidade foi concebido um projeto de educação musical para crianças, totalmente diferente do que era oferecido nas escolas primárias, e quais inovações o Collegium Musicum contribuiu para a educação musical de crianças dentro e fora da instituição. Foi uma área de experimentação de pedagogias musicais que passou a ser aplicada no sistema escolar argentino e foi projetada para outros países de língua espanhola. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
