This research aims to describe the aesthetic pattern and meaning of songs children created by Indonesian authors from the 60s to 70s. The songs it is very familiar and frequently sung by children of their time. The spread of children's songs at that time only through radio and electronic television media, which was still very rare and owned by the people of Indonesia at that time. In this digital age, the spread of children's songs conducted through digital media is very fast, good in audio and audio-visual form. The development of technology makes it convenient for children to recognise songs. The second aim is to describe the meaning of character education in three dimensions: the connection between man with God, man with humans, and humans with nature.

Children's songs have an impact, on the wellbeing, personality development, communication skills and cognitive growth of preschool and elementary school children. They teach values, character education and positive behavior through creativity. This study aims to explore how Sinhala children's songs can be used as a medium to instill values. A purposive sampling method was used to select twelve songs for analysis. Each song underwent an examination to identify phrases and ideas related to ten fundamental values using discourse analysis. Through qualitative approach, the research focused on uncovering values embedded in the lyrics. The importance of these values was assessed based on their presence and influence on the theme and narrative. Application of Schwartz's Theory of Basic Human Values revealed a range of values within the selected songs that reflect experiences and perspectives influenced by cultural norms, family dynamics and societal expectations. The songs highlight concepts such as thoughtfulness, empathy, respect, education, tradition, relationships, personal growth, ethical reflection and cultural values such as benevolence and harmony with nature. Among this identified values benevolence emerges as the main theme in the songs symbolizing nurturing love and support. Conversely, power appears to be the least emphasized value in these songs, suggesting that they place an importance on relationships, empathy, personal growth and kindness. In a nut-shell, it is crystal clear that children's songs have the ability to impart values in children, aiding the overall development of a child's character. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Statistics derived from the Essen Folksong Collection have widely been used as a proxy for general stylistic norms familiar to Western listeners. Since the specific facets of contemporary musical experience best modeled by a corpus of nineteenth-century European folksongs remain ambiguous, this study tests whether Essen-like music might be familiar to North American listeners through common children’s songs. Comparison with a corpus of 38 English-language children’s songs highly popular in North America finds that scale degrees from Essen and the children’s song corpus have near-perfect correlations in frequency profiles as well as high to very high correlations in tonal expectations and 4-grams. Profiles of scale degrees’ downbeat probabilities and average durations have moderate to high correlations for the diatonic but not the total chromatic. Overall, profiles of scale-degree behavior from the children’s song corpus match profiles from Essen more closely than do profiles from another corpus of music widely familiar to contemporary listeners (Billboard Hot 100 songs) and similarly closely as a corpus of nineteenth-century common-practice German vocal music (Schubert songs). For contemporary North American listeners, studies relying on Essen might plausibly be reinterpreted in terms of Essen acting as a corpus of early musical experience although the generalizability of Essen-derived statistics likely depends on the precise statistics being measured.

This essay spins off the many versions of "There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly." This children's song plays with rhyme to tell the story of an old woman who dies after consuming increasingly large animals to rid herself of the previously swallowed one. Revisiting the lyrics, the violence, with its lulling repetition and rhyme, enacted by the old woman was unsettling, another of so many cultural phenomena that deaden our response to violence. This piece calls upon poetic inquiry to explore the rampant violence in U.S. culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Venda musicians incorporate aspects of “traditional” Venda life and music while still trying to make their music marketable to a larger audience. Johannesburg, the “City of Gold” was never such for many popular Venda musicians as their music did not yield any gold for them. Two significant influences take center stage in realizing a wider market for popular Venda music. These influences reference melodic and rhythmic motifs from indigenous Venda music and children’s songs, while retaining a touch of “homegrown” in the music. Interviews with several popular musicians and an analysis of music indicates cultural relevancy in popular Venda music quoting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The positive effects of music education on the physical, spiritual, and mental development of children have been indicated by many studies. During preschool education, which is thought to be the basis of schooling, accurate and effective teaching of music lessons is crucial for the developmental processes of children. As one of the sub)branches of music education, singing is the first skill to be taught to children since their infancy. The aim of this research is to determine which songs are frequently used by teachers in preschool music education lessons. The study is conducted in the general survey model, one of the qualitative research methods, and is an example of a phenomenology pattern. To determine the first five songs that preschool teachers frequently use in music lessons and to analyze the points they attend to while determining these pieces, the semi-structured interview method was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of 41 preschool teachers who were teaching in the provinces of Çankırı and EskiĢehir in the 2021-2022 academic year. During the data analysis stage, the content analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. In accordance with the data obtained, it is revealed that the preschool teachers have their students trained in 106 different songs, and as a result of the analysis of these songs, the first five songs are "Red Fish", "Sculpture", "Dinosaur", "Apple Wolf" and "Walnut Man". When the common features of the first five songs are examined, it has been concluded that all of them are entertaining, many of which are about animals, and have rhythms and lyrics that attract children's attention.

This study investigated (1) whether children's songs could be potential sources of internal state information and (2) cross‐cultural/linguistic differences in the availability of such information. We coded for expressions of mental states and other internal states in 255 English songs, likely accessed by children in the United States, and 255 Japanese songs, likely accessed by Japanese children. The majority of the songs in both samples contained at least one internal state expression, with songs containing four to five tokens and two types of internal state expressions on average. Japanese songs had more types of internal state expressions than English songs when comparing the two samples in proportion scores that controlled for the length of songs. However, differences between English and Japanese songs were negligible in the absolute frequency of tokens and types of internal state expressions, with the exception that Japanese songs were richer in ambiguous internal state expressions.

This paper focuses on the use of children's songs in learning Kiswahili language in Dar es Salaam Tanzania. Usually, songs serve different purposes including transmission of knowledge, values, and language. It argues that children's songs serve as a means for learning Kiswahili and indigenous culture. The study was conducted at Msewe, Kimara and Changanyikeni nursery schools located in Ubungo municipality of Dar es Salaam. The data was collected using interviews, observations, discussion, and documentation. In this empirical research, the study analysed the Kiswahili songs, lyrics and associated information collected with the children at these schools. With recourse to the participant and arousal theory, the study found that, apart from learning word sounds and singing, songs help children to learn pronunciation and application of words found in songs in their day-to-day communication. The tunes and rhythms of these songs support the children's acquaintance with Kiswahili words. Furthermore, the songs' lyrics enables children to construct Kiswahili sentences and structures, thereby enhances their learning of Kiswahili language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents a manual classification model, the Classification Model for the categorization of Children's Songs (Model CMCS) for the selection of children's songs based on the proposed criteria found in studies about the selection of children's songs, on music theoretical background, and on findings from cross-cultural studies about (dis)similarities in children's songs. A step-by-step procedure comprising four levels for the classification of songs is explained and applied in the first testing, employing two musical experts for the evaluation of three different songs. The results have shown that the Model CMCS is transparent (understandable), applicable, and useful and will be tested in the next stage on a larger number of songs and involving more musical experts. An improved version of the Model CMCS could be used in the future as a framework for an automatic classification model for the selection of children's songs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Children’s memory of Spanish exile can be found in the repertoires published in America since 1939. These collections reveal various processes of re-creation that occur in the migratory flow (sometimes back and forth) of songs and retahílas, as well as in the overlap between popular poetry and author poetry. RESUMEN: La memoria infantil del exilio español se puede encontrar en los repertorios publicados en América a partir de 1939. Estas colecciones revelan diversos procesos de re-creación que ocurren en el flujo migratorio (a veces de ida y vuelta) de canciones y retahílas, así como en las imbricaciones entre poesía popular y poesía de autor.

The Music Pedagogy Workshop working within the Institute of Music at the University of Nyíregyháza has initiated several programmes related to music methodology, financed by EU funds. Within the framework of subproject entitled "Renewing the practice of teaching music in public education based on folk traditions," digital handbooks and teachers' books have been designed for the Grades 1 to 4 of primary schools. The present paper introduces the novel features of the material designed for Grades 1 and 2. It touches upon the issues of the relevant points in curricular regulations, the possibilities of the innovative methods of score notation and score reading, tailored to the age characteristics of students, and the new approach to teaching the musical elements connected to a selected song corpus. The basic concept in designing the material of the first two grades was the amalgamation of folk culture, including folk tales and children's game songs, and the world around children. The elements of the knowledge of the present and the past appear side by side in the individual thematic units. Interdisciplinarity also gets emphasised. The generative and creative music activities, the tasks aimed at developing receptive competences, games, and the application of graphic notation, targeting the development of fine motor skills and music literacy, have been designed to broaden the toolkit of music pedagogy for junior schools.

Values provide unity and solidarity among the members of that society by directing the emotions, thoughts and behaviors of the society. Teaching these individuals to the individuals of the society at an early age allows them to be internalized and transformed into behavior. Values are also under the cultural umbrella of society. Including the values of the society in language teaching is important in terms of introducing the cultural elements of that society. Because language teaching is a cultural interaction. Presenting values in teaching Turkish as a foreign language enables language learners to gain a perspective on target culture. This perspective will facilitate the adaptation of language learners in society. In this study, a proposal was made on the use of children's songs as a course material in the education of values in teaching Turkish as a foreign language at an early age. Four children's songs, which are given as examples, were examined. It is explained what values these songs reflect. Information about teaching as a foreign language at an early age, the use of songs in teaching Turkish as a foreign language at an early age, values in teaching Turkish as a foreign language and the place of values in Turkish children's songs has been given. In the research, document review, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. At the end of the study, it was concluded that children's songs are an authentic material that can be used as a teaching material in language classes in teaching the values of Turkish society. At the end of the research, suggestions were made on the use of children's songs in the development of language skills, word teaching and pronunciation development in teaching Turkish as a foreign language at an early age.
