Abstract

Bimanual Coordination on the Guitar (Coordenação Bimanual ao Violão – CBV) is the joint action of both hands of a guitarist in the production of notes, responsible for the individual quality of each note and for the legato between them. Aiming at the quantitative analysis of this question, we investigated the CBV through its cues in collected audio recordings. For this, we made observational studies and an experiment with undergraduate and graduate guitar students of three institutions from different Brazilian regions. In the presente work, we discuss our second pilot study on the theme, carried out with four students from the Espírito Santo Music Faculty (FAMES - Bachelor of Music - Guitar). In our literature review, we addressed bimanual coordination in different instruments and the motor behavior of hands. After that, we present the elaboration, realization, results and discussion of our observational pilot.
