The State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, counts with twelve Music Conservatories in its Educational system. These twelve conservatories are maintained and funded by the Minas Gerais State Education Secretariat and they stand out in the nation by integrating music teaching into the public education system. The conservatories attend 30 thousand music students in the State of Minas Gerais, 11 thousand attended directly by the conservatories and the other 19 thousand attended in cooperation with regular public schools. The conservatories in Minas Gerais State, since their creation during the 1950’s, play an important role on the musicians training and promotion of arts, especially the music. These institutions, located in almost every region of the state, offer professional training on various music instruments, including the flute. This study seeks to identify the sociodescursive imaginary of the conservatories flute teachers on flute teaching specifically. Based on data analysis, we seek to identify the reconrecy of discursive patterns and the level of flute teachers adherence to specific discourse patterns. Therefore, the hypothesis and analysis categories will be built considering the information from the body of the research.
