Objective: To report the experience of holding music workshops with children with ASD. Methods: This is an experience report on the use of music as a complementary therapy for children diagnosed with ASD. The activities were divided into the following stages: 1) Reception; 2) Identification and recognition; 3) Motor coordination and monitoring of the musical pulse; and 4) Closing. Results: It was possible to notice an evolution in the children's behavior throughout the sessions, with greater bond formation and promotion of cognitive and social development. The interactions promoted by the stimulus of music evolved increasingly, culminating in the formation of strong bonds between children and the team, in order to enhance the benefits observed in the period studied. Conclusion: The use of appropriate techniques to offer music intervention to children with ASD proved to be positive based on observation throughout the intervention. The positive impacts observed can contribute to stimulating further studies on the topic and the greater inclusion of music as an alternative therapy for ASD.
