A música como instrumento de aprendizagem na educação infantil

Abstract

This paper was developed from the desire to know how education professionals use music as a tool for learning in Early Childhood Education. The research was conducted at Creche Sinhazinha Celino, located in Campina Grande/Paraíba, with teachers of Early Childhood Education. The main objective of the research was to analyze the importance of music as a teaching tool for the work in Early Childhood Education. Our theoretical framework was based on several authors, among them we can mention some special like Brito (1998), Vygotsky (2009), Rapapport (1981), Damazio (1991) and RCNEI (1998). The methodology was qualitative field research, and the instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire. It was noted that our research question was answered, because we realized that music is embedded in Early Childhood Education as a learning tool. However, music cannot be reduced to a mere work tool, because it speaks for itself and contributes to the holistic development of children.
