The aim of this research is to analyse the development of music education as a scientific field in Brazil. We found 300 theses that deal with themes directly related to music education, from 1989 to 2017. This state-of-the-art investigation contains documentary, quantitative and qualitative aspects and was developed through content analysis techniques. As results, we present a descriptive mapping of categories such as gender, evolution of production index, production areas, universities, educational context, subthemes, music didactics, as well as the research lines of the area that configure themes of interest in music education research in Brazil. In addition to these descriptive syntheses we also present ways of accessing the three products originated from the research: 1) Forms with categories of analysis; 2) Map galleries and descriptive images of production; 3) Indexes and Catalog of 300 theses.
