The training models discussed are categorized as short-term and long-term, encompassing both theory and practice through a transdisciplinary approach. Based on initiatives promoted by the Companhia de M\u00fasica Teatral (CMT) and the Education and Human Development Group of the Centre for the Study of Sociology and Musical Aesthetics (CESEM) at NOVA University Lisbon, the article highlights projects such as: (i) Opus Tutti and GermInArte, developed between 2011 and 2018; (ii) the Postgraduate Course Music in Childhood: Intervention and Research, offered at the University since 2020\/21, which integrates art, health, and education, promoting collaborative work between professionals; and (iii) Mil P\u00e1ssaros (Thousand Birds), developed since 2020, which exemplifies the integration of environmental education and artistic practices. The theoretical basis of these training programs combines neuroscientific and educational evidence, emphasizing the importance of the first years of life for integral development. Studies, such as those by Heckman, reinforce the impact of early investment in children\u2019s development. Edwin Gordon\u2019s Music Learning Theory and Malloch and Trevarthen\u2019s concept of \u2018communicative musicality\u2019 structure the design of these courses, recognizing music as a catalyst for cognitive, emotional, and social skills. The transformative role of music and the arts in educational and social contexts is emphasized, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, by proposing approaches that articulate creation, intervention, and research to promote human development from childhood onwards.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/educsci15080991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]],"date-time":"2025-08-07T12:15:40Z","timestamp":1754568940000},"page":"991","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Music and Arts in Early Childhood Education: Paths for Professional Development Towards Social and Human Development"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Helena","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Musicology, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Campus de Berna, CESEM, NOVA University Lisbon, 1069-061 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4218-1028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Isabel","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Musicology, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Campus de Berna, CESEM, NOVA University Lisbon, 1069-061 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Paulo Maria","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication and Art (DeCA), Universidade de Aveiro, Campus Universit\u00e1rio de Santiago, INET-mD, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Paulo Ferreira","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Training and Research in Education and Development, Escola Superior de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o de Lisboa, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Lisboa, Campus de Benfica do IPL, CESEM, 1549-003 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5344-0024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelita","family":"Broock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola de M\u00fasica, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Campus Pampulha, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"AIGAM\u2014Associazione Italiana Gordon per l\u2019Apprendimento Musicale (2025, June 01).
