Brazilian Musical Talented Adults
Two Cases Evaluations
Keywords:
Gifted, Talent, Adults, Musical EvaluationAbstract
The identification and evaluation of musical talent based on aptitude in adult life can contribute to the process of Positive Disintegration and the achievement of a fulfilling life. However, this process has been limited in Brazil. The purpose is to describe the evaluation journey of two cases of musical talent identified in adulthood, as well as their process of Positive Disintegration that began during the evaluation. This is a clinical case study involving two adult participants. A qualitative analysis of the data was conducted. To accomplish this, referrals from a professional psychologist, the Protocol for Screening Musical Abilities, the Advanced Measures of Music Audiation as well as performance observation and analysis of musical production (musical arrangement and composition) were utilized. The results revealed that both participants demonstrated music talent, and their artistic production was considered at a high level. It was observed that both individuals were in the phase of Positive Disintegration. The evaluation process, along with the feedback provided, contributed to their self-knowledge. It is inferred that recognizing the talent contributes to the attainment of well-being and self-knowledge, and can assist the individual in relieving emotional issues. However, there is a shortage of specialized services for talented adults in Brazil.
