O canto e sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento integral da criança de zero a cinco anos

Abstract

This research is a bibliographical review about singing in early childhood music education, investigating the scientific productions of the Associação Brasileira de Educação Musical (ABEM) (Brazilian Association of Musical Education), the Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Música (ANPPOM) (National Association of Research and Postgraduation in Music) and periodicals from the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) (Superior Level Staff Development Coordination), from 2015 to 2018, which deal with singing, early childhood musical education, from zero to five years old, and integral development. This review also included the book Música na Educação Infantil: propostas para a formação integral da criança (2003), by Teca Alencar de Brito. The aim of this study was to analyze scientific productions to identify the contributions of musical education through singing in the integral development of children from zero to five years old, through two ways: the study of the concept of integral development and the study of pedagogical practices. The methodology includes qualitative approach and text analysis through content analysis. Given the review and analysis chosen, it was possible to notice that singing contributes to integral development through musical, social and intellectual development through expressiveness, sensitivity, musicality, concentration, interaction and respect with those involved. In conclusion, I observed that the pedagogical practices adopted were singing games, movements and improvisation through dance, songs, musical production, musical perception, musicalization through ludic, and various forms of musical making, which are possibilities to contribute to the integral development of the child (sic).
