Influence of music on the pre-schooler


example, the singing of an action song), provides the opportunity for experiencing success, which in turn is essential for the formation of a positive self-image.


 At the same time it may serve to broaden a young child’s insight and promote skill development.


Aſter a musical selection has been learned, repeated singing or playing on an instrument; provides the positive feedback and feeling of success that a child of this age so greatly needs and seeks.


3.2.3 The role of the educarer in concepts formation in music


 Te educarer must understand the developmental stages.  Know at what stage the children are.  Plan her group-time presentations very carefully.  Emphasis must be on enjoyment.


3.3


The contribution of music to affective being (developing confidence)


Te success of a music activity, as well as the success of the teaching of subject-matter in all situations, is dependent on the affective stability of the child.


Affective stability is how the child feels about himself, self-image and whether he is ready to try a new situation and learn something new.


Affective stability forms the basis or condition for a young child’s willingness to risk new content and to learn.


Affective stability constitutes feelings of:  safety and security which originate in the relationship of trust between a child and his environment, and


 between a child and those to whom he looks for help and guidance. Te feeling of security and acceptance – the trust relationship – has its origin in the young child’s family life and is


 extended by means of close co-operation between the paternal home and the pre-primary school.


An anxious, uncertain young child does not take risks, nor does he want to become involved and the task of the educarer is initially to create a secure environment from which the child may be led to discovery and participation in music.


3.3.1 What is self-concept?


Te self-concept is the impression which the child has of himself – the child’s own value judgment of himself. Self-esteem is the child’s own judgement of how worthy she is (Robinson 1983:88).


Why must we promote a positive self-concept? A. Positive self-concept provides the child with the:  confidence,  security and  willingness to accept challenges and  to solve problems.


A positive self-image springs from the feelings of acceptance, which are excluded by the people around the child as well as from the successful coping with tasks which brings about the approval of peers and adults and a feeling of self-worth.
