In this work, we discuss a modality of continuing education for teachers of the early years of elementary school. This discussion has been undertaken with a view to aesthetics in training for teachers at work. The discussion is based on results from a longitudinal study conducted between 2004 and 2006 with a group of 12 teachers from public schools. The outline presented here aims to contribute to studies on the possibilities of aesthetic development in the continuing education of teachers. The analyses and results are being discussed under the impact in education, starting an experience of music in the continuing education of teachers of the early years of elementary school. Workshops were held with a musician teacher, recorded on videocassette in which the teachers involved could experience the music in its aspects of melody, rhythm, and the handling of some percussion instruments, leading them to their different sensitivities. The analysis of the material was taken from the theoretical and methodological assumptions of historical-cultural Psychology, especially the contributions of Vygotsky. The videotapes were transcribed and analyzed with a view to grasp to the different meanings attributed by teachers to the elements present in musical experience. The results indicated that, more than learning music, the sensitive eye was extended with possible consequences for everyday teaching.
