A música na educação infantil como dimensão de desenvolvimento social e educacional da criança: uma análise a partir do olhar de professores

Abstract

Thinking about the many functions of music leads us to reflect on the daily routine in schools, the practices of teachers and their students, and how music is used in everyday school life. Music as a teaching tool can be explored involving numerous concepts, developing affection, creativity, socialization, bringing joy and a new learning environment. Music activities in schools do not aim to train professional musicians; they aim to provide children with the opening of sensory channels, improving their performance when expressing their emotions, broadening the perspective of culture and the formation of the individual. In this sense, the work aims to analyze the importance of music in the process of social and educational development of children in Early Childhood Education. The methodology is based on a bibliographic review of studies by Brito (2003), Alencar (2003), Ellmerich (1973), Jeandot (1993), Gainza (1988), Nogueira (2005), Joly (2003), Pereira (2010), Weigel (1988), among other authors, and exploratory field research with the objective of observing how music is used in the daily classroom by teachers in Early Childhood Education. Thus, it was possible to perceive that the application of music in the classroom provides several benefits to children, in addition to the development of fundamental aspects for learning, such as interaction, socialization, and creativity, which enables dynamic and interactive learning
