Q

Development of conceptual understanding

A

For a concept to become part of deeper understanding it must be
continually experienced in a variety of contexts

Conceptual learning is a spiraling or cyclical process

Music concepts begin to develop when children have multiple
opportunities to experience and explore sound sources in their
environment

Teachers should encourage exploration of music concepts both
in group settings and in individual play

Musical foundation is laid in the early years

Children expand their conceptual understandings as they are
continually engaged in active music-learning experiences

Concepts are categorized by the elements of music

Q

Zoltan Kodály philosophy

A

young children should learn to read and write music just as they learn to read and write language. He believed strongly that the development and use of the singing voice should be at the centre of the school’s approach to music literacy for every child. He also maintained that it was the right of every citizen to be musically educated.

23
Q

Kodály Method

A

comprehensive system of music education that was not invented by Kodály but rather it evolved in the Hungarian schools under his guidance and with his inspiration.

24
Q

what did kodaly emphasize

A

use of the tonic sol-fa and the movable doh system as major vehicles through which music literacy could be achieved. In the tonic sol-fa system syllables are assigned to pitches to facilitate the hearing and singing of melodic intervals. Hand signs are often used as tools to reinforce the inner hearing of the intervals and they provide a visualization in space of the tonal relationships being sung.

25
Q

Overall Kodaly approach

A
  • All people capable of lingual literacy are also capable of musical literacy.
  • Singing is the best foundation for musicianship.
  • Music education to be most effective must begin with the very young child.
  • The folk songs of a child’s own linguistic heritage constitute a musical “mother tongue” and should therefore be the vehicle for all early instruction.
  • Only music of the highest artistic value, both folk and composed, should only be used in teaching.
  • Music should be at the heart of the curriculum, a core subject used as a basis for education.
26
Q

Carl Orff

A

He believed that children should experience speech, music, and movement together. He also believed that children should experience by reliving the early stages of historical development in music and therefore should be actively involved with music. Creativity is an important aspect of the Orff approach to teaching music and teachers provide children with many opportunities to be creative.

27
Q

what did orff develop

A

Orff developed instruments for children’s use: the xylophone, metallophone, and the glockenspiel. He guided the instrument maker, Karl Maendler, in the creation of these instruments. A variety of unpitched percussion instruments are used in conjunction with the Orff instruments. The Orff approach is one of guided exploration of sound, space, and form within a particular structure

28
Q

“Schulwerk

A

Orff approach
Children are encouraged to explore space, sound, and form. In Orff-Schulwerk imitation is used to ensure a role-model for creativity. The teacher in Schulwerk is like the “master” or major role model. The role of the teacher is gradually lessened as the children exhibit more and more independence. The process involves:
Observe – Imitate – Experiment – Create

supports the notion that although children must discover the qualities of space, sound and form for themselves, each individual simultaneously contributes to the group as a whole, and that community of individuals becomes the ensemble.

29
Q

what did orff advocate for

A

The Orff approach advocates for the inclusion of extensive musical experiences prior to the development of reading and writing music. Music reading and writing is viewed as a tool for children to record their musical creations.

30
Q

music literacy

A

ability to read and write music

ability to understand a wide variety of music as it occurs within a broad range of contexts. It refers to one’s ability to make meaning out of musical experiences and to use music as a means of personal expression. It means understanding the organization of music across time and place, the conventions and cultural characteristics of music, and its role in the lives of people. It means knowing enough about music to function with a certain amount of musical independence - and knowing enough about music to value it in one’s lives

music literacy should be approached from a ________ before ______ perspective
