Biographical note: José Alberto Salgado e Silva has been working with ethnomusicology and music education since completing his master’s degree in 2000, after a career as an instrumentalist, arranger and composer. Between 2001 and 2005, his doctoral research examined the theme of professionalization, through ethnography with university music students in Rio de Janeiro.
