MUSIC THERAPY Rose de Lis Sauane

Abstract

This article seeks to discuss the contributions that music education as an educational resource, combined with psychopedagogy, can offer to human development and learning. This is a bibliographical study that uses the assumptions of Ferreira, Brito, Ponso and Abramovay regarding the issues of teaching, learning and development. Music education has been present in children's lives since birth. Its presence in the most diverse and varied situations of everyday life causes them to begin their musicalization process intuitively. Adults sing short melodies, lullabies, play games with rhymes and nursery rhymes. Delighted by what they hear, babies try to imitate and respond, creating significant moments in their emotional and cognitive development, responsible for the creation of bonds with both adults and music. This is how music is, not an accessory, but an instrument in the improvement of development without age limits. And with such importance, it should not be discarded in its actions.
