A integração da música na infância: benefícios para o desenvolvimento cognitivo da linguagem sob a ótica de Vygotsky

Abstract

This article addresses the importance of integrating music into language development, exploring connections between learning and cognitive development. Fundamental concepts of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory were discussed, highlighting its relevance in the development of language and the relationship with the guidelines of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC) and the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB). Language was analysed with a focus on developmental milestones, emphasizing how music can be a powerful tool to stimulate this linguistic development, at each stage. The article also presents suggestions for practical activities that can be applied, demonstrating how music can be used effectively to promote language development, involving activities such as songs, musical games, and storytelling. This work is for educators and parents who want to promote language development through music.
