A música na educação infantil e sua relação com o desenvolvimento integral das crianças

Abstract

Music is present in humanity as a way of expressing feelings and emotions, playing an important role in child development, in addition to contributing to the improvement of musical intelligence, different sounds, rhythms and movements. Children spend a good part of their lives in educational institutions, a place that should guarantee the presence of the musical world, since the experiences that involve musicalization allow the exploration of one's own body, the bodies of others, in addition to the exploration of what is around. Therefore, music in the school environment is a form of personal learning and expression that sharpens emotions and senses. It is a form of artistic expression that allows experiences that involve aesthetics, appreciation, socialization, listening skills, understanding and the notion of rhythms and different sounds. The purpose of this work is to discuss the importance of providing children in early childhood education with experiences that involve music in conjunction with different expressive languages, understanding them as drivers of the integral development of children. As a methodology, the research is inserted in the context of qualitative research. It is divided into two sections, the first entitled “Music in the legal basis of early childhood education”, which discusses the analysis of some documents that guide early childhood education, among which are: the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (Brazil, 1990); Resolution No. 5, of December 17, 2009, which establishes the National Curricular Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (Brazil, 2009); and the Common National Curricular Base (Brazil, 2017). The second entitled “Music as an indispensable tool for child development”, refers to the analysis of some authors who deal with music and its importance in the formation of children, among them are: Bréscia (2003) and Martins (2009).
