Considered as language, music acts on dialogue dimensions of the body, the senses, the affectionate-cognitive and of social interactions. Their uses reveal the social forces that cross the culture and constitution of subjectivities. The attribution of senses by the subjects to musical production reveals the cultural voices in dialogue, that circumscribe determined social places to them. Our aim in this work is to investigate the child musical appreciation, with children about 7 to 9 years old, and, by attributing uses and senses to music, unveil the voices that settle the places intended and assumed by infancy in contemporaneity The child constructs its musical appreciation through cultural access and mediation, possible by circulation in several socializing groups like family, school, church, infant groups, community groups and, more recently, publicity and media These last two spheres, enabled by the development of the technological means of communication, contributed to the dissemination of the set of consume ideas and for the emergence of the cultural industry, characteristic of the capitalistic production way in its present configuration. They develop new possibilities of perception of the world, in which the limits between childhood and adulthood are not anymore the same that have been established in previous centuries. So, the child musical appreciation is constituted by homogeneity regarding the senses built and disseminated by cultural industry and by the logical merchandizing, and singularities, associated to the construction of senses in interaction with global, local, and multiple contexts, through which the subject circulates and constitutes himself polyphonically / A m?sica pode ser encontrada em diferentes contextos hist?ricos e sociais com fun??es bem distintas, tais como rituais religiosos, educa??o ?tica-est?tica dos sujeitos, elemento terap?utico, cr?tica ou manuten??o de padr?es estabelecidos, dentre outras. Enquanto linguagem, a m?sica atua no di?logo entre as dimens?es do corpo, dos sentidos, do afetivo-cognitivo e das intera??es sociais. Seus usos revelam as for?as sociais que atravessam a cultura e a constitui??o das subjetividades. A atribui??o de sentidos pelos sujeitos ? produ??o musical revela as vozes culturais em di?logo, que circunscrevem determinados lugares sociais aos mesmos. Nosso objetivo nesse trabalho ? investigar a aprecia??o musical infantil, atrav?s de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com crian?as de idades entre 7 e 9 anos, para, atrav?s da atribui??o de usos e sentidos ? m?sica, desvelar as vozes que povoam os lugares destinados e assumidos pela inf?ncia na contemporaneidade. A crian?a constr?i sua aprecia??o musical atrav?s dos acessos e media??es culturais, poss?veis atrav?s da circula??o nos diversos grupos de socializa??o, como a fam?lia, a escola, a igreja, os grupos infantis, os grupos comunit?rios e, mais recentemente, a publicidade e a m?dia. Estas duas ?ltimas esferas, possibilitadas pelo desenvolvimento dos meios tecnol?gicos de comunica??o, contribu?ram para a dissemina??o do ide?rio do consumo e para o surgimento da industria cultural, caracter?sticos do modo de produ??o capitalista em sua configura??o atual. Desenvolvem-se novas possibilidades de percep??o do mundo, em que os limites entre idade infantil e idade adulta j? n?o s?o mais os mesmos estabelecidos tradicionalmente nos s?culos anteriores. Assim, a aprecia??o musical infantil se constitui em homologias, referentes aos sentidos constru?dos e disseminados pela ind?stria cultural e pela l?gica mercadol?gica, e singularidades, associadas ? constru??o de sentidos na intera??o entre contextos m?ltiplos, locais e globais, pelos quais o sujeito circula e se constitui polifonicamente
