Abstract
In recent decades, digital media have transformed children's cultural and communicative practices. This study explores musical understandings among Lusophone children and their interactions with digital platforms. Through ethnographic research with 84 children (ages 5-13) from choirs in southern Brazil and northern Portugal, we analyze data using the concept of musicmedia, which examines the interplay between music and digital media. Findings reveal that platforms like YouTube and Spotify shape children's musical preferences, serving as primary sources for discovering genres and artists. These results highlight the need to integrate digital repertoires into school curricula, fostering critical engagement with music in educational settings.
