A Survey of Creative Musical Activities in Kindergartens at Middle and Southern Taiwan and Related Teaching Material Analysis
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
This study has two parts.
Description
The first part explored what types of and how often creative musical activities were taught in middle and southern Taiwanese kindergartens, and explored the problems associated with teaching them. A total of 29 creative musical activities, which were categorized into four levels, were listed in the survey questionnaire.
The creative behaviors were developed from American national standards for music curriculum and Taiwanese curricular standards for kindergartens. The sample consisted of full-time head teachers and part-time music teachers at 572 public and private kindergartens. The results showed that head teachers had more difficulties than music teachers.

Further, head teachers in private kindergartens have fewer problems in teaching creative musical activities than their counterparts in public kindergartens because private schools often hired part-time music teachers to assist music teaching. The most frequently chosen difficulty by head teachers was their lacking musical competence. This study also found that among musical concepts, rhythm was most frequently taught.
In addition, creative movement activities were more frequently taught than other activities (such as creative singing and creative performing activities.) The second part of this study, the content analysis about creative musical activities in published Taiwanese teaching materials for kindergarten teachers, used both pre-designed and emergent categories to analyze the materials. Most of the creative musical activities found in the teaching materials were movement improvisations for expressing responses toward music or musical concepts.
Activities regarding musical improvisation, composition, and arrangement were not much.
