Sumario:This article analyses the processes of knowledge production that take place in a school orchestra that depends on the School Orchestra Programme of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Understanding that the processes of knowledge production that take place in the orchestra must be analysed as social and historical relationships in which learning occurs in a situated way, we look, from an ethnographic perspective, at the ways in which teachers and coordinators propose certain practices regarding how to learn and perform music. We understand that a set of values are configured that many of the subjects who participate in the orchestra understand as central in the formative journey of the recipients. And that in this way specific modalities of musical knowledge production are configured which, although not free of negotiations and disputes, are agreed upon by the orchestra's teachers and coordinators as the way in which teaching and learning practices should be deployed in the documented context. We also understand that these orientations are linked to the professional training trajectories of the people in charge of the experience.
