About this exposition

Name: Emma van Dobben Main subject: ‘Music Education According to the Kodály Concept’. Research coaches: Renee Jonker, Ewan Gibson Title of research: ‘Advocaatje ging op reis.’ Research question: ‘How can music education for children at an early age benefit from using singable picture books?’ Summary of results: This research is about singable picture books: a picture book with one (children’s) song accompanied by illustrations for every verse, chorus or sentence. Singable picture books can have many positive effects on the singing voice, linguistic and reading skills, improvisation skills, social skills and narrative skills. Singable picture books can become a ritual and a moment of concentration in the lesson. It is an attractive way to present and prepare a song for the children. Folk songs are very suitable for singable picture books because of their narrative character. The children will have a more lively experience by looking at the story while singing or listening to a song. In this study I will explore the benefits of using singing and illustrations combined in a picture book. Also I have made a list with criteria what makes a good singable picture book. In the Netherlands there are not many singable picture books. I have made two books with a folk song in Dutch and a musical activity suitable for age 4-7. These books are meant for music specialists, but can also be used in other lessons or at home. Method Literature study about the benefits of using singable picture books: singing voice, folk songs, picture books, multisensory learning, reading and linguistic development. Practice based study: analysis of the singable picture books by trying them out in the music lessons, and write down features of the songs, books, and illustrations. Criteria list: based on my findings according to this analysis, what works well? What makes a good singable picture book? According the criteria list search for suitable Dutch repertoire.I will make two books with a folk song in Dutch and an extra musical activity. I have to find two illustrators who are willing to illustrate the book. Results: findings of my observations and observations of colleagues. What are the children’s reactions?
