Keywords in Portuguese
Performance do violoncelo
Saúde do músico
Tai Chi Chuan
Técnicas de reeducação corporal
Abstract in Portuguese
Essa dissertação buscou abordar as relações entre a prática do Tai Chi Chuan e o estudo do violoncelo, com foco nos benefícios para a saúde do músico, fundamentos de posicionamento e movimentação do corpo, eficiência e facilidade de movimentação, além dos aspectos estéticos e filosóficos inerentes a ambas as artes. A pesquisa se baseou em investigação bibliográfica que permitiu identificar os aspectos fundamentais de cada uma das práticas. Além disso, foi considerada a experiência pessoal do autor em ambas as práticas. Inicialmente, foram analisados os elementos essenciais da prática do violoncelo, concentrando-se nos fundamentos de posicionamento do corpo, movimentação, coordenação, consciência corporal e a importância da respiração durante a performance. Em seguida, foram levantados os princípios e técnicas do Tai Chi Chuan, uma arte marcial chinesa que enfatiza o equilíbrio, a fluidez dos movimentos, a integração mente-corpo e a aplicação de conceitos filosóficos. O estudo buscou encontrar pontos de convergência entre o Tai Chi Chuan e o violoncelo, a fim de demonstrar como a aplicação dos princípios do Tai Chi Chuan pode beneficiar a vida e a performance do violoncelista. Dentre os resultados encontrados, podemos afirmar que a prática do Tai Chi Chuan promove o relaxamento, o alívio do estresse e a melhoria da postura; a consciência corporal desenvolvida no Tai Chi Chuan pode ser aplicada ao violoncelo, melhorando a ergonomia e reduzindo tensões desnecessárias; os movimentos suaves e precisos do Tai Chi Chuan podem aprimorar a destreza e a fluidez dos movimentos na técnica do violoncelo, resultando em uma execução mais eficaz e expressiva. A conclusão deste estudo aponta que os fundamentos do Tai Chi Chuan e do violoncelo são surpreendentemente similares, o que sugere que a prática do Tai Chi Chuan pode ser utilizada como uma ferramenta auxiliar para facilitar e aprimorar a qualidade de vida e, ao mesmo tempo, a performance do violoncelo.

Abstract in English
This dissertation sought to address the relationship between the practice of Tai Chi Chuan and the study of the cello, focusing on the benefits for the health of the musician, fundamentals of positioning and moving the body, efficiency and ease of movement, in addition to the inherent aesthetic and philosophical aspects to both arts. The research was based on bibliographic research that allowed us to identify the fundamental aspects of each of the practices. In addition, the author's personal experience in both practices was considered. Initially, the essential elements of cello practice were analyzed, focusing on the fundamentals of body positioning, movement, coordination, body awareness and the importance of breathing during performance. Then, the principles and techniques of Tai Chi Chuan, a Chinese martial art that emphasizes balance, fluidity of movements, mind-body integration and the application of philosophical concepts, were raised. The study sought to find points of convergence between Tai Chi Chuan and the cello, in order to demonstrate how the application of Tai Chi Chuan principles can benefit the life and performance of the cello. Among the results found, we can affirm that the practice of Tai Chi Chuan promotes relaxation, stress relief and posture improvement; body awareness developed in Tai Chi Chuan can be applied to the cello, improving ergonomics and reducing unnecessary tension; the smooth, precise strokes of Tai Chi Chuan can enhance the dexterity and fluidity of cello technique, resulting in more effective and expressive playing. The conclusion of this study points out that the fundamentals of Tai Chi Chuan and cello are surprisingly similar, which suggests that the practice of Tai Chi Chuan can be used as an auxiliary tool to facilitate and improve the quality of life and, at the same time, cello performance.
