DESCRIPTION:What are the set of competences necessary for a Brazilian musi
 cian to be really engaged in the society today? What is the role of this m
 usician to make a difference in their community? As we see fast changes in
  the world\, the demands for a musician tend also to change. The individua
 list paradigm needs to change to a more collective and collaborative appro
 ach. A musician cannot be isolated only concerned in playing their instrum
 ent\, or composing a piece by working alone. Rather\, this musician has to
  engage with production\, management\, collaborating with peers\, being pa
 rt of community of creative artists. This work presents some possibilities
  for developing multiple competences\, which go beyond musical skills with
 in Brazilian contexts. This will be discussed from the perspective of theo
 ries regarding collaborative learning and communities of practices (Rensha
 w\, 2007\, 2010\; Wenger\, 1998) and also some aspects from Critical Pedag
 ogy developed by Paulo Freire. A short case study will be examined where m
 usic students from Federal University of Minas Gerais were engaged in an e
 ducation project called “Escola Integrada”. The project involved creat
 ive laboratory with practical training\, reflections based on theoretical 
 studies\, in loco experiences where music students “went to the field”
  delivering music workshops for children from public schools. \n\n*Heloisa
