Abstract
This article investigates the contents adopted in the teaching of music and orpheonic singing in the secondary school of Curitiba during the 1930s and 1940s. According to the analyzes made by Chervel (1990), the contents will be analyzed in two aspects, one under the legal optics, revealed by laws and educational decrees, and another on the school reality, in this case, through the assessments found in the Colégio Estadual do Paraná in the years 1946 and 1947. The article is divided into two parts. The first is dedicated to the contents of music education in the reform of Francisco Campos in 1931, and the second is dedicated to the period after 1946, when the course program was redesigned, under the guidance of the minister Raul Leitão da Cunha.
