Sometimes children, during the session, sing. Why? At the same time, not all children sing. Why? Trying to give answers to these questions, the development will retrace from embryonic state when the sound of maternal voice is added to body rhythms and it became a kind of primary maternal object precognition. Sometimes the en-counter with this object after birth is difficult. And so any developmental problems will be possible, especially in linguistic area. We will discuss two clinical cases: a child with autism diagnosis and a teenager boy who had difficulty using language and his own voice expressively. With both, music and especially singing have had a relevant role during analytic work.

Keywords: singing, music, language, autism
