Learning is an Exchange of Experience!

It is important that the learning process is based on the construction of knowledge, mutual respect, as stated by Paulo Freire (2004): “I can not discriminate against students on behalf of any reason to have my perception that students do not result solely from. How to act, but also how the students understand how I act. “(P. 97) In the field of education. Students can not be seen as a white paper that will be written, but as someone who is carrying a story that has experience. We are combinatorial elements. Thus, learning must always see as a continuation of what the students already have, then there is the arrival point for sure, not a point of departure, there is continuity. The new information obtained at the school will cater for the development of new knowledge in the elaboration of what he already had.

It is considered education as a game in which participants (students and teachers) are cut. In the game, the action will involve the reaction, as well as in teaching and learning: an action leads to another. Schools need to revise their concept of learning, so that schools can not be viewed simply as a place of entertainment, but the institutions that develop the skills to turn them into the skills needed to become a professional in your field. It should be noted that schools should prepare students not only in the professional and life as a second PCNS (1998) “A set of actions that help teachers to reflect on the learning conditions of the offer and tailor their practice to the needs posed by the students.”

The school environment is still stuck in the traditional practice of avoiding the technology is increasingly changing our daily lives. It is necessary that the professional review the values and conceptions of teaching to meet, present and future abandon the past, inefficient teaching, learning the way to the ancient forms of interactive educational and interesting. School becomes a place of conflict between teachers and students. On the one hand, teachers threatened at all times to maintain discipline and full authority, and on the other hand, the student sees the teacher as an authoritarian and began playing space. The result is that both are not playing a good job, so that the school is not just a struggle for space, but a place where they must learn to live with others and accept differences.

Music is a great tool to spread the culture and propagation, the spread of ideas and ideals of the author, the message they want to communicate with the listener.

On the one hand, music is a form of cultural expression, as it brings the letters varied subjects, but it is very important for the social, religious, transposes the imaginative world of children, adolescents and adults, including arts in general, among others.

Listening to music is not only listening, but can interpret his ideas, his own songs, and make these concepts help to form opinions about certain subjects.
