Module 5
Pictures should be bright and clear. Too much detail can be confusing. Proportions, for instance, the size of a mouse compared to that of a house, should be correctly illustrated.
If the educarer utilises illustrations, Only the most important characters and happenings should be illustrated.
Place and time for presentation Te music story should be presented indoors on the carpet. It should be presented at music presentation time.
Guidelines for the presentation of a music story Te music and the story should go together. Tis means that the music should really describe the incident taking place, for instance, “All of a sudden he stood still, for he heard a violin playing.” A short extract from a violin solo should then be played, and not an orchestral piece with violins.
Te dialogue and the music should alternate. Te music is thus utilised to illustrate incidents in the story, for example, “Te teddy-bear started dancing” or “the toy mouse ran up and down”. Music is then employed to represent the movement.
Te music extracts should be short, to ensure that the young child does not lose interest in the story.
A music phrase may be compared to a sentence in speech and may therefore not be interrupted before the completion. Te extract chosen should thus be played until the end of the phrase.
Careful preparation is important for successful presentation. Te educarer should ensure that she knows the story well. Te music used should be recorded beforehand so that the story and the music can be presented without interruptions. Te CD player should be placed near the Educarer to facilitate her operation of the player at the required time.
If the educarer also wishes to utilise illustrations, a flannel board may be employed for indicating the illustrations one by one. Te illustration is leſt on the flannel board when the music plays to help the child to co-ordinate the visual representation and the auditory message.
Te sound quality of the music should be good. Old scratched CDs or DVD players are not conducive to the young child’s sensitive aural development.
Listening activities initiated by the pre-schooler Te objective of this activity is to provide an opportunity for the child to listen to music of his own choice at his own free will.
Te role of the educarer in listening activities Te educarer should encourage the child’s listening activities by having a comfortable listening corner specially suited to listening activities.
Include the following: 1. A CD player with ear-phones should be provided so that one or more children are able to listen at the same time, without being disturbed by others.
2. A DVD player with ear-phones should be available on request. Te educarer should operate the player.
3. A selection of DVDs. 4. A selection of CDs provided with illustrations to indicate the content of the CD. A picture of a clock could, for instance, be used to indicate “Te Syncopated Clock” by Anderson, or a doll could illustrate “Te Waltzing Doll” (Poldini). Trumpet music or guitar music could be indicated by means of pictures of the relevant instruments.
