The present work refers to research with the experiences of composing, auditioning, and
performing in the Musicalization Workshop with the fluteatMunicipal School Professor
Arnaldo Monteiro Bezerra, in Natal, RN, during the period of physical distancing. The
general objective is to expose, reflect, analyze, and discuss experiences related to musical
learningthatreflectonhumanformation.Thisisanevaluativeinvestigationofthe
consequences of music inthe shaping of students in education. The lived experiences and the
developed activities were carried out in Elementary School, permeated by action research in a
qualitative approach, using class records through images, writings, and filming, as well as
interviews with students and testimonials from family members, teachers, and management
staff. As themain theoretical contributions of Music Education, we used Swanwick (2003a,
2003b, 2014), Penna (2010), Loureiro (2003), Brito (2019), and Bastian (2018). In the context
of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have Cruz (2020) and Ricci and Vieira (2020). In the
reflections on the knowledge of experience, we seek foundation in Bondiá (2018) and Santana
(2010). We conclude that it was a successfully developed project, both on the pedagogical and
artistic sides, reflecting actions with noticeable results in the musical, personal, and social
learning and growth of the students, who developed artistically and musically, cognitively and
culturally. This experience can offer discussions that encourage the teaching of music in
schools, pointing out possible paths in the teaching and learning relationships.
