Resumen:
A proposal for theological-musical training for youth groups based on the context of a
praise group. It verifies in what way this training takes place and how it can be
worked with intentionality. In the first chapter, the three constituting groupings of the
research paper are contextualized: the youth groups, contemporary sacred music
and Christian education in an Evangelical-Lutheran context. In the second chapter,
the different paradigms which sustained sacred music in the Evangelical Lutheran
context, the currents of modern sacred music and, based on the contemporary
context, the Gospel phenomenon are dealt with. The third chapter works with the life
narratives of six youth who participate in a praise and adoration group. Based on
these narratives, four categories arise for analysis: formation of ties, protagonism and
tutelage, comprehension of roles and functions and the learning in and based on the
group. The fourth chapter outlines a dialogue between the practice in the praise
group, the Plan for Continuing Christian Education of the Evangelical Church of
Lutheran Confession in Brazil and the social-interactionist theory proposed by
Vygotsky. The fifth chapter presents a proposal for theological-musical training which
can serve as a resource for the work with youth groups in the congregational context,
based on reflections and practices.
