- Title
Singing and Moving: Teaching Strategies for Audiation in Children.
- Authors
Garner, Allison Maerker
- Abstract
The article presents discussion on teaching basic music skills to preschool and elementary students, particularly listening ability through movement and other interactive practices. Details are given regarding the developmental musical pedagogy theories of Edwin Gordon and Howard Gardner, combining Gordon's musical-listening concept of "audiation" and Gardner's theories of developmental psychology to discuss means of internalizing music instruction through movement exercises. Several activities are discussed wherein audiation can be fostered, including individual instrument instruction, group singing, and movement games.
