A importância da música na Educação Infantil

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of music for the learning and development of young children in Early Childhood Education. To this end, bibliographic and documentary research was carried out, based on authors who discuss art and its relationship with education, specifically Early Childhood Education, as well as researchers in the field of Psychology - especially scholars of the Historical-Cultural Theory - , as well as the Brazilian educational legislation regarding the teaching of music. The investigation is justified by addressing a relevant and current topic to think about the process of learning and child development in the school context, which can contribute to the training of pedagogues who have access to the text. In order to fulfill 2 the general objective, the work was structured in three topics, which discuss: 1) The relevance of art for the formation of children in Early Childhood Education; 2) Music in Brazilian educational legislation; 3) The defense of the presence of music from the early years of the child in the school environment. It was concluded that music, as an art form, must be increasingly present in Early Childhood Education institutions that intend to humanize children from an early age.
