Orff

- 1920s, German - It is a way of introducing and teaching children about music on a level that they can easily comprehend. Musical concepts are learned through singing, chanting, dance, movement, drama, and the playing of percussion instruments. Improvisation, composition, and a child's natural sense of play are encouraged. - "Never music alone, but music connected." - Approach is simple, basic, natural, close to a child's world. IMITATION EXPLORATION LITERACY IMPROVISATION

Gordon

How do beginning woodwind players often play? [Music Learning K-12]

Beginning woodwind players often play with a closed throat and oral cavity to compensate for inadequate breath support

Synchronzied Movement [Music Learning K-12]

By following a pre-set order of movements to music, children are able to begin to understand a connection between feeling and hearing the music. Children can later apply this connection and develop a steady beat or pulse. There are four standes for young children's understanding the beat of music. 1) Unable to respond to the beat. 2) Responds with too much. 3) Narrow down response to the beat. 4) Able to clap or step to the beat. Using props during synchronized movement helps children to focus on the movements as they relate to the music and create the movements with greater confidence. (ex. scarves, streamers, ribbons, parachute)

Which of the following is an application of Bruner's spiral curriculum theory to music instruction? A. Fifth-grade students learn a song by rote; then they learn the song with syllables by rote; then they learn to read the song in notation. B. Third-grade students sing a song; then they add instrumental accompaniment to the song; then they add movement to the song C. First-grade students learn about up-and-down melodic motion; in third grade they learn about melodic motion by steps and leaps; in fifth grade they learn to distinguish between thirds and fifths in a melodic contour D. First-grade students learn to sing songs less than two minutes long; in fifth grade they learn to sing songs four minutes long; in ninth grade they learn to sing multi-movement works more than nine minutes long

Rousseau

Children should enjoy the simple joy of true vocal sound to understand about harmony and vocal resonance. Songs with simple and narrow range and no words. Children should dance and make up songs.

Why music educators should model movements in teaching creative movement...[Music Learning K-12]

Children will often watch the movements of those around them. Music educators can show students how to do a particular movement to a song, and then let the children copy what they have seen. Any type of movement should be at the child's developmental level. Music educators can show children how to move faster or slower through music. They can also be introduced to dynamics with loud marching or tiptoeing. Teachers can teach about changes in phrasing by changing direction.

Orff-Schulwerk Approach

Combines music, movement, drama, and speech into lessons that are similar to child's world of play. Four Different Stages withint the Orff-Approach 1. Imitation - the teacher, group leader, or students perform for the class and the class in turn repeats what was played for them. 2. Exploration - Allows students to seek out not only the different musical aspects that the Orff instruments offer but they also explore aural/oral skills and the different motions and expressions that the body is capable of. 3. Literacy - Taught by learning musical notation and becoming familiar with the various forms of music like rondo, and ABA 4. Improvisation - The act of creating something, especially music, without prior preparation.

What is the Music Educator's Role? [Music Learning K-12]

Educators are responsible for making music a positive influence on students. All teachers should seek out ways to prepare for curriculum planning and designing instructions that are appropriate for the child's particular education level. Music combines with all developmental, cognitive, language, physical, emotional, and social arenas of education and places the music educator in an important, multifacted role. Music educators should be able to guide children in their musical experiences and encourage progress as it occurs.

Comenius

Johann Amos Comenius believed that the education of children should begin immediately so that the child could learn about faith, cognizance of moral actions, and familiarity with arts and language. Comenius felt that music education was instinctual for children who first learn to make sound through vocalizations.

K-4 Vocal Range [Music Learning K-12]

K-4 vocal range is about an octave starting with Middle C (C4)

Creative and Synchronized Movement [Music Learning K-12]

Movements that are associated with msuc and performed as dances or exercise by young children are classified as either creative movement or synchronized movement. Creative movement gives children freer expression and allows them to improvise and enjoy the act itself. Synchronized movement follows an established routine and is choreographed to the rhythm and beat of the selected music. Creative movement allows children to freely express themselves to song, while synchronized movement helps children to freely express themselves to song, while synchronized movement helps children work as a group and realize the importance of teamwork.

Perceptive Listening [Music Learning K-12]

Music is best appreciated by listeners who are attentive, and music educators can help students learn how to listen. Perceptive listening allows students not only to hear the notes but to understand the structure and movement of the phrasing.

Music Sequencing and its effect on Music Education [Music Learning K-12]

Music sequencing is similar to linguistic structuring as it relates to the audience member: patterns of melody, harmony, and rhythm work together better with appropriately defined tone, key and chord structures. Infants are able to approximate tone and young children can reproduce short or limited contours with some discrepancy in pitch. Early childhood music education opportunities to learn to produce pitches accurately and distinguish between scale and key structure.

Jerome Bruner

New Material ---> ICONIC to Symbolic representation. -Suggests that a learner even of a very young age is capable of learning any material so long as the instruction is Bruner (1960) adopts a different view and believes a child (of any age) is capable of understanding complex information: 'We begin with the hypothesis that any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development.' (pg. 33) -Importance of language for coding -Spiral curriculum - information being structured so that complex ideas can be taught at a simplified level first, and then re-visited at more complex levels later on organized appropriately, in sharp contrast to the beliefs of Piaget and other stage theorists.

Involvement of Parents [Music Learning K-12]

Parents should always be encouraged to become more active in their child's education and musical development. Music educators should make an effort to include parents in discussions of instruments or musical practice. Parents are teachers first and a full support from them will help the child learn the importance of education. Music educators should always seek out ways to keep parents involved, such as through band suppor programs or fund-raisig.

Working wiht rhythm in instruments in the classroom [Music Learning K-12]

Rhythm insturmentals such as shakers, cowbells, drums, and tambourines are the easiest to work with when instruction children about rhythm, beat, and tempo since they are small, and children can easily be taught to use them correctly. Children should be introduced to these instruments and how they work to produce sound before being taught simple melodies. Once students are familiar, they can be instructed to incorporate those sounds in their exercises.

How can beat, rhythm, and tempo be explored? [Music Learning K-12]

Rhythm is the pattern of long and short sounds. Music educators can explore beat by clapping each syllable of a simple song. Beat is the pulse of the music which may speed up or slow down during the course of the music. Music educators should have students practice grouping beats together. Tempo is the speed of the music. Music education should help students learn the distinction between slow, moderate, and fast tempos by speeding or slowing down the music.

Why is singing and chanting important with young children? [Music Learning K-12]

Rhythmic songs and chants are important for children to understand the combination of sounds and beats and aplly the process to their own sensory perceptions. When music educators participate in the singing or chanting, they can interact with the children, and show them how much fun moving to music and creating music can be for all ages. Music educators can teach songs in small segments, through repetition, or through example.
