This research aimed to investigate relevant aspects of the relationship that teenagers have with the music, in the wake of the Law 11,769, 2008, has led to return the mandatory teaching music to the school curriculum. Using the theoretical background studies related to biology and the social sciences, research was conducted with 89 adolescents between the ages of 10 and 16, over 7 discussion groups, made up of distinct categories: one group was formed independently, as selected by a guitar teacher, two groups were formed by students of a private school and four groups formed in a federal school. For the conducting of discussion groups, as a methodological resource, we chose the following activities: a game with themes related to music with the intention of allowing young people to feel more comfortable, and conduct a survey of their prior music background; filling out forms with the name, age, favorite bands, performers and songs, and musical instruments that they play; and finally a discussion about the relationship of those young people with music. By analyzing the information collected in discussion groups, it was possible to raise aspects that make the music more or less attractive to these young people – despite the difficulty in separating the sonic aspects of those extrinsic to music – as well as the rolls that music plays in daily life of these adolescents. The survey also sought to identify how young people are exposed to music, including the type of media they use, and the influences received from family, friends and teachers. It was also noted how these young people differentiate the roles that various musical styles have in their daily lives, and how they seek to experience the different emotional states that music is capable of inducing.
