Amostras de ciclos autorregulatórios e sua inserção no processo de autoaprendizagem musical.

in this article we present and exemplify the concepts of self-regulation and self-regulating cycles in the teaching of musical instruments. The objective to be achieved with the adoption of self-regulation goes beyond the attainment of technical ability to perform a musical instrument, since it aims at the metacognitive development of the individual. The proposition of self-regulatory cycles was motivated mainly by the writings of the psychologist Barry Zimmerman (1998, 2000, 2002). As a result of the subjects here discussed, we point to the cognitive efficacy of the use of self-regulation, since this strategy contributes to the student's autonomy, which in this way becomesresponsible for all stages of his/ hers learning process.
