MUSIC IN CHILD EDUCATION: (RE) DISCOVERING SENSES

Abstract

Music is constantly present in our daily life and brings with it historical, social and cultural characteristics, being a form of expression, of communication, of reflection, that can excite, sprout feelings, memories and even upset, since musicality integrates human life and the relationships between music, gesture, rhythm and expressiveness of the body. In the same way, music is part of the corporeality of children even before literacy, so it becomes a fundamental artifact to develop pedagogical activities with children in Early Childhood Education. We problematize in this study that musicality is still relegated to the background or as phyxiated in children's school routines. We show that in addition to the verbal, sound and rhythmic message translated by music, the development of the child's creative imagination, intuition and emotional intelligence is inscribed in it. The results indicate that it is necessary to recover the dimensions of music with communication, sensitivity and the art of educating in school, as a way to increase enjoyment with the moments of class and with the world, manifested constantly by the expression of feelings, thoughts, planned actions, opinions, or chestrated, harmonic or unbalanced reflective attitudes. However, musical education can contribute to the global and evolving development of children, provided that the cadences of multiplicity of voices and differences are respected and recognized.
