The type of approach is qualitative guided by the case study method with aided of techniques such as bibliographic research, un-structured interview, non-participatory observation and photography registration. The Edwin Gordon’s musical learning theory sustained this research, stating that music is and must be learnt at the right moment when the students are ready to learn certain competence and a logical sequence of contents. The main results of the research show 1) the lack of teaching resources that stimulate the practical component in the classroom; 2) a gap in teaching and learning development, content mastery, combined with the lack of specific training in music; and 3) the prevalence of non-dynamic methods of teaching and learning development such as exposure. Therefore it is recommended 1) the use of hands, pops, beating in the foot, whistle, etc.; 2) the training of prepared staff; 3) the application of active and participatory methods. From the unfolding of the research, it is also alerted the following aspects: 1) creation of policies for monitoring and evaluation of school activities; 2) valuing the subject of Music Education as any other; 3)development of activities inherent to music; and 4) making available, in the classroom, different songs from which, the teacher, instigate the curiosity of the students.
