Abstract

The article analyzes research data developed with students attended by a full-time public-school program-90% of them in situations of social vulnerability. The data was collected by the music teacher who carried out an academic research on the subject. This work’s goal is to demonstrate that music education in school can bring a humanizing perspective, when educating in music means to enable the learning of music as a historical, social and cultural phenomenon, that can be understood and produced by all human beings.
