Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the contributions of music to the development of children in Early Childhood Education. Its specific objectives are: to describe the contributions of the Nursery as a learning and socialization space for children from 0 to 3 years of age; discuss which aspects are developed in children through the use of music and identify how music is used in the pedagogical work of teachers in the daycare space. The theoretical framework is made up of authors who discuss the topic, such as: Brito (2003), Didonet (2001), Betti; Silva; Almeida (2013) and other researchers who offer theoretical support to the study. Methodologically, the research is characterized by a qualitative and field nature. The data were collected in a public daycare center in the state of Paraíba and had the collaboration of four teachers. For data collection, a semi-structured interview was used containing four questions referring to the teachers' pedagogical work in relation to the use of music in the classroom. The research showed that the use of music is essential in everyday life in Early Childhood Education contexts. Working on musicalization at this stage of teaching contributes to the development of various aspects of children: motor, cognitive, social and emotional. The teachers surveyed demonstrated that they use music as a pedagogical tool in the classroom and understand the importance of contemplating activities that involve music in a way that helps the children's learning process.
