Abstract

The research presented has as its theme art, transdisciplinary education and spirituality, its relationship with music and vibrational therapy in the formation of the reader of elementary school, basic education. The general objective of the research is to understand and verify how music and vibrational therapy are constituted from transdisciplinarity and spirituality as a proposal for the formation of the reader in basic education, more specifically, in elementary school. The research is qualitative and exploratory, it consists of a transdisciplinary approach, based on bibliographic studies and activities with music education and vibrational therapy, Aesthetic Experiences (Parode, 2004), made possible by the educator and music therapist in elementary school in a municipal school in Porto Alegre/RS. In order to delimit the field of research and to account for it and the analysis of data produced with this theme, the searches, investigations, and observations took place from March 2022 to March 2023. To obtain the research data, websites, Google articles, Google Scholar, books, theses and dissertations were investigated. Some references such as Parode (2004, 2007, 2010, 2019), Nicolescu (2001, 2002), Morin (2000, 2001), Freire (1996), Capra (2008), and others were punctual for the execution of the research. The theoretical-practical articulation of the research occurred, at first, with the bibliographic survey and then from the execution of practical activities of Music and Vibrational Therapy over a period of one year (2023) with students from the Gilberto Jorge Municipal Elementary School located in the south zone of POA/RS. From this study it is possible to affirm that art with its multiple artistic languages, Music and Vibrational Therapy that constitute a transdisciplinary education approach are fundamental in the process of education and formation of the reader in elementary school, since they provide knowledge, knowledge, the awakening of creativity, creative processes,  of the imagination through the Education of the Sensitive (Parode, 2004)), the development of sensitivity and human development from childhood, in addition, that transdisciplinarity as an approach that is between, through and beyond the discipline, a paradigm that transcends the Cartesian and linear vision, the traditional model of education, effectively and directly linked to life,  enables an education for the Wholeness of the Being (Parode, 2004) and expansion of its consciousness. The research also found that the spirituality worked on in the formation of children, by a systemic pedagogy in elementary school, is a process that can imply an aesthetic, ethical and epistemological posture of commitment to the truth of the Being throughout its evolutionary journey, being able to generate adult beings no longer with a shallow, anthropocentric vision, but with a vision of deep ecology (Capra,  2008), so urgent and necessary in contemporary times.
