Summary/Abstract: The arts have accumulated forms of artistic thinking through specific language, being influenced by the fundamental aspects of the material and spiritual life of man, representing over time the evolution of his social and individual consciousness. The oldest way of human sound communication is considered by specialists to be, along with the verbal one, the musical expression. The sounds of vocal music were the first ways to make interpersonal connections. Later, along with the voice, the man used tools that mbecame musical instruments over time. In a continuous evolution and improvement of vocal and instrumental perfection, man has created a language of sounds, which knows no boundaries, being universal and understood with equal ease on all the meridians of the world. Conceptually, specialists in the fields of psychopedagogy and the arts have advocated for the inclusion of the arts in the education of children and adults. Over time, it has been found that the aesthetic ideal has influenced the pedagogical ideal, that art has played the role of the author of the human spirit and has been a fundamental means in the evolution of social life.
