RESUMO
This study is a result of a research in the qualitative approach, in the Gerontology and Musictherapy scenario. It was analyzed the importance of alternative practices like playing an instrument, singing, or practicing a guided musical exercise as a therapy activity for old people with Parkinson Disease. The data collection was based on questionnaires, with recorded and transcript information, obtained from ten individuals: two musictherapeuts (a pianist and a maestro of the therapeutic Chorus), two phonoaudiologists and two physiotherapists, which guide vocal and physical therapy of the patients, and four old people with Parkinson Disease, members of the Association Brazil Parkinson-ABP, located in Sao Paulo, one of them a public person, from which information was collected from a published interview and a published book. The analysis, the systematization and the interpretation of the data were based on the phenomenological paradigm, which pointed: music is an excellent way to improve the life of the patient that becomes more sociable, decreasing physical and psychological symptoms (symptomatology). The singing or playing (piano, violin) act, as therapeutic activity, is a way for the self-expression and self-realization, and the lyrics reveal the intimate subjectivity/existentiality of each patient. The self-reliance of the patient brings positive expectations about the present moment and also about the future. The Musictherapy, as a coadjuvant treatment, can be extended and indicated in others areas of actuation. Finally, Musictherapy seems to contemplate about themes related to life/death, health/disease, besides the relation of the patient with its disease and the sociability with people around
