RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: There is a growing focus by the introduction of courses in humanities and arts in medical education. Music is not widely used tool in medical education. It has unique features that make it an excellent educational resource for the possibility to express emotions. Within minutes, topics of interest in learning medicine as loss, compassion, sorrow, solidarity can be identified and used in pedagogical processes. Music like other forms of art can deal with the emotional universe of the student. Promoting reflective attitude within an academic discipline requires creating space to make it formal. OBJECTIVE: To grasp the impact of music as an educational resource on the experience of medical students. METHODOLOGY: The research follows a qualitative approach. We played songs predefined by the author during the classes in family medicine module at the boarding school of medicine in the state of Sao Paulo. Twelve students who attended this course agreed to participate. The interviews were taped, transcribed and then interpreted according to the hermeneutic perspective. RESULTS: The process of understanding the experience of students allowed for the xv unveiling of a phenomenon that encompasses your inner world as he attends to his medical training. The music played on the outside resonates in the story and emotions of the student. The student realizes that the pace imposed by the medical school does not allow to think about, reflect, whether on his own life, whether in his formation. The music experience allows students to hear their feelings and share them with the professor and peers. He is surprised by memories and feelings that surface and was unaware or they could not remember. These feelings are presented in themes that organize the affective experience of the student, mobilized by the music. Several themes emerged as well as the search for self, family, death, vocational doubts, relationships with peers, professors and patients CONCLUSION: The findings of the experience of the music spectrum come in, offering numerous prospects for development in the context medical education, as noted in the themes that emerged. As the basic experience we have of the world is emotional, the music, this form of human knowledge of affective tone also becomes educational force, because the process of teaching is not limited to transmission of content but, more importantly, implies that the teacher in development processes of meaning and significance to enable the learner, reflect and transform the everyday practice, especially in medicine where the interpersonal relationship is the basis for the full realization of future professional action
