The music in the context of the historical-cultural theory of Vygotsky

Abstract

Art exists in society since the first civilizations. Among the many artistic expressions, music is one of the oldest and stands out for its subjective and abstract character. Over time, it became clear that the relationship between people and music became increasingly important and inevitable, to this, we point out the importance of understanding music's impact on human development and its impact on people's lives, seeing music as a psychological and cultural phenomenon. Therefore, we will explore the concept of Vygotsky’s, then, we will present music, and we will use as method a revision of literacy. The possible impact of the theme paves the way for the work in the continuing education of teachers. Under this perspective, we believe that music can change the physical state and mental of the human being, allowing him to get over your feelings and change your world.
