Musicalization and development for babies in kindergarten

Resumen

In the learning process, musicalization is presented in a multidisciplinary character, which allows the expansion of factors related to human development, in addition to expressiveness, communication and autonomy. In Early Childhood Education, it is an essential element to meet the demand for the formation of children's behaviors and habits. However, its use should be expanded, being "music for music's sake", since working with music itself is beneficial for the development of various skills. This chapter aims to demonstrate the role of musicalization in the development of babies and the importance of the use of this resource by teachers in the conception of Early Childhood Education. To this end, an exploratory bibliographic review was carried out on the subject, presenting the existing foundations in the literature on music, musicalization, baby development, and the insertion of this aspect in Early Childhood Education. As a result, it is seen that although the literature demonstrates the benefits of the use of musicalization for the development of babies in Early Childhood Education, its application is still made with a recreational nature, due to the absence of specific training of teachers. The lack of musical knowledge and experience leads teachers to not feel prepared to use music as a protagonist in the activities.
