This paper aims to describe some community activities that promote the learning of music developed in IFRJ – Duque de Caxias Campus. Music activities in this proposal are based on the Law No. 11.769 /08, which establishes mandatory Music teaching in basic education. Also, they are based on references such as Kater, Sobreira, besides Penna, Barros and Mello. The methodological procedures consist in Theory and Music Perception workshops, Ensemble, Basic Sound and Score Writing. These activities are held on campus, with the participation of students, former students, employees, and the outside community. They aim to qualify participants to structure all the steps involved in completion of the community project, from the preparation of the audio equipment to the final product, that is, the musical performances. The main contributions of these community activities consist of the interaction between the project participants, besides being the forming heart of an official musical group of IFRJ, which can become an important marketing tool of the institution in the municipality of Duque de Caxias. As a result of this project, we intend to structure a core culture group on campus, performing in a concrete way a draft cultural policy in IFRJ.
