This study's main objective is to problematize the work of a school in the teaching of arts, using the context of Brazilian artistic education. The qualitative, descriptive, documentative, and bibliographical research can be characterized as a case study. Given the known value of the arts in students' overall education, we propose formative actions designed to prepare professionals in the field to teach the arts, although we recognize that actions exclusively aimed at professional training do not guarantee institutional support of art classes. Finally, we consider the urgent need to formulate public policies that enable the implementation of didactic actions and financial investments in teacher training, which may offer more suitable teaching opportunities and provide quality teaching.
