| Abstract | The purpose of this project was to design a bilingual/bicultural kindergarten course of study based on the concepts of the Richards Education Through Music Method. This method is rooted in the Hungarian composer-educator Zoltan Kodaly's educational philosophy and was developed in the U.S. by Mary Helen Richards. This is a method of teaching all areas of the curriculum through musical activities. This methodology involves games and extensive aural experience. Both the acceptance of a child's culture and the acquisition and development of a second language are fostered. The classroom chosen for this research pilot project was an urban bilingual kindergarten class in the New Jersey school system. The class was made up of twenty-one children from Spanish-speaking homes, most of them of Cuban descent. The focus of the program was on language arts readiness through music. The lessons of the five-lesson unit were based on Jose Marti, a Cuban national hero. Objectives in music, language arts, and social studies were developed around this central theme. Strong points of the lessons were: they provided a natural mode of expression for children who come from cultures where music is an integral part of daily life, and the games which music provided were an indirect way of teaching the concepts. The weak points were: some musical activities called for a certain level of proficiency in the musical skills which the children did not have, and the lessons should have followed each other more closely, not twice a week, so that the concepts could have been better reinforced. The pilot unit with the lessons are included in the appendix. (Author/AM) |
