Abstract

This work has as theme The importance of music as a methodological apparatus in geography classes: a playful way of studying the semi - arid Northeast. Using music in classes facilitates learning and dynamically increases students ' interest in classes. Geography as a school subject faces a great challenge, the one to make students interested in its contents because, for many students, the discipline is tedious and just decorative. Thus, the main objective of this research is to analyze the song "Chuva de honestidade" by Flávio Leandro, used to address the issue of the "Semi-Arid" in geography classes. The methodology used was the bibliographic research, with the survey of theses, dissertations, monograph and books that address the theme. The mentioned song was chosen to work the main characteristics of the semiarid in classroom. The need for changing methodologies is stark, since only the blackboard, the book and the blackboard marker are not enough to arouse students' interest. In this way, a specific methodology was developed for using Leandro’s song approaching Brazilian semiarid reality. Working with music is a way to bring the student closer to the content and their experiences, thus facilitating the understanding of the content and increasing the learning. Working on the theme "semi-arid Northeastern" with music explores the subject in a dynamic and detailed way, showing the students all the characteristics of this region with the aid of song.
