A Case Study of Preschool Children’s Musical Interests at Home and at School     

Olga Denac 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2008,35(5):439-444

In the interaction between the child and the adult, interest can be a significant motivational initiator of activities. Systematic monitoring and development of the interest in music activities enables the teachers to influence the preschool children in forming a positive attitude towards the art of music. The research involving preschool teachers, children at the age of five to six and their parents, was conducted in order to determine the interest of preschool teachers and children in music activities. We found that the teachers showed greatest interest in singing songs, playing instruments and listening to music. The children’s favourite activities in kindergarten were movement to music (dancing), singing songs and playing on instruments, namely activities where they could take active part in the educational process. The parents reported that at home the children preferred most to listen to music, to sing songs and move to the sounds of music, and less to play on instruments and to be creative in music. The development of the children’s interest in music depends on the teachers’ expression of interest in music activities, on the choice of music activities and music contents and on the experience in the music environment of the family.  相似文献   

Using Music to Support the Literacy Development of Young English Language Learners     

Kelli R. Paquette  Sue A. Rieg 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2008,36(3):227-232

Integrating experiences with music in the early childhood classroom supports English language learners’ literacy development (Peregoy and Boyle, Reading, writing, and learning in ESL. Pearson, Boston, 2008; Saricoban and Metin, Songs, verse and games for teaching grammar. Internet TESL J, 2000). This article describes the benefits of incorporating musical experiences into daily instruction and provides practical activities for classroom implementation, e.g., reading, writing, and singing songs for language skill development, reading fluency, and writing progress. Despite a teacher’s level of aesthetic appreciation and musical training, the value of fostering creativity and enhancing literacy instruction through music is vital in today’s diverse early childhood classrooms. Music can transform classrooms into positive learning environments where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Providing children with structured and open-ended musical activities, creating an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect, and sharing the joy of creativity with each other all are foundational to bases for the growth and development of the early childhood learner.  相似文献   

Using Typical Infant Development to Inform Music Therapy with Children with Disabilities     

Barbara L. Wheeler  Sylvia Stultz 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2008,35(6):585-591

This article illustrates some ways in which observations of typically-developing infants can inform music therapy and other work with children with disabilities. The research project that is described examines typical infant development with special attention to musical relatedness and communication. Videotapes of sessions centering on musical play with typically-developing infants and of music therapy sessions of children with multiple severe disabilities are examined in light of developmental issues, conceptual frameworks, and relationships between typical development and developmental issues of children with disabilities. Greenspan’s model of psychosocial development is used as a basis for analyzing observations. This research was conducted over a period of several years. Portions of what is reported here were presented at the European Music Therapy Congress, Naples, Italy (Wheeler and Stultz 2001) and the 10th World Congress of Music Therapy, Oxford, UK (Wheeler and Stultz 2002). Thanks to Elizabeth Rightmyer for very helpful feedback on the article.  相似文献   

Hemispheric laterality in music and math     

Gary Michael Szirony  John S. Burgin  L. Carolyn Pearson 《Learning Inquiry》2008,2(3):169-180

Hemispheric laterality may be a useful concept in teaching, learning, training, and in understanding more about human development. To address this issue, a measure of hemispheric laterality was compared to musical and mathematical ability. The Human Information Processing Survey (HIPS) instrument, designed to measure hemispheric laterality, was administered to 101 participants who were then asked to provide a measure of their conceptual aptitude for mathematics and music. Scores were then compared through canonical correlation to test the hypothesis that perceived mathematical ability may be explained by left-brain hemisphere preference and musical by the right hemisphere. A relatively strong correlation was found between music ability and right-brain hemisphere preference. A relationship between math and left-brain hemisphere preference or integrated brain processing scores was found to be marginal. Ramifications to learning are discussed.  相似文献

"北狄乐"考论(下)     

吴大顺 《怀化学院学报》2008,27(7)

“北狄乐”是汉唐时期,北方鲜卑、匈奴、羌、氐、羯等各民族音乐通称。其经历原创、交融、分化等历史变迁后．部分歌曲被改造提升,进入北魏音乐机关,成为祭祀、享宴、郊庙音乐的一部分,其歌辞为华语系统,部分继续在民间流传,其歌辞仍为鲜卑语。而华化的这部分歌曲通过战争、外交、民间等各种方式流传到南方。在华胡音乐文化交流渗透中,“北狄乐”不断地被汉化,到唐代,其自身的鲜卓语系统已完全消融于汉语的音乐文化系统中。“北狄乐”入华,一定程度上丰富了华乐,进入华乐系统后,“北狄乐”的性质改变了,成了中华民族传统音乐文化的一部分。  相似文献
