Abstract

Music is present in the everyday life of many people, including in the classroom, it can be a tool used in teaching the categories of Geography, especially the study of categories of place, landscape and territory. In this research, music is of great importance to help in the teaching of Geography, because it has the ability to streamline the contents and subjects, articulating them with the categories. The main goal of the research is to understand the contributions of music in teaching through the categories of Geography. The methodological procedure involved bibliographic research focused on the categories of Geography, dialogues with curriculum policy documents, and with teacher training experiences in the Geography course. In this path, discussions were held that involve: music and the teaching of Geography, song lyrics and their respective analysis related to the geographic categories, and presentations of pedagogical proposals to express the specificities of place, landscape and territory, present in the musical lyrics. It was verified that through the contextualization of the authors' work, and musical analysis along with the pedagogical proposals produced, there is a real possibility of music being a tool that contributes to teaching, anchoring the study of Geography, which can serve as mediators in practices both to make it more attractive, as to make learning more significant.
