The research methodology was based on a bibliographic analysis to identify which are the contributions of music in the classroom in the initial series, so we sought through texts by renowned authors, a theoretical foundation to support our questions about the theme researched for then, identifying theoretically the contributions of music in the educational mediation of children in the last 10 years. It is concluded that music is worked in early childhood education by many educators as a routine of this stage of the child's life in school, however it is a job that can be improved, as there are still difficulties presented by some teachers that go from formative issues to the mastery of musical language. We find reports from others who, even without specific training in the area, explore music in a pleasant, playful and stimulating way from the children's songbook and others who live accommodated in relation to this subject.
