Funded Activity Summary

A cross-cultural study of the music play practices of children in school playgrounds. This study seeks to observe, collect and analyse children's musical play in school playgrounds in a range of social, cultural and national contexts in order to determine the characteristics of music, movement and language; teaching and learning processes; degree of cross-cultural transmission; factors affecting language use; and effects of audiovisual media on games. This research will challenge misconceptions regarding children's musical play on which which major international music education pedagogies (Kodaly and Orff) are based and will inform current music education practices relating to learning processes and music repertoire.
