| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 幼兒教育學系碩士班 === 96 === The researcher adopted a quality research approach to investigate 5-6 years old young children playing music in a music learning center during Nov. 2006 to Apr. 2007. The result of study is explained as follows:
1. Young children playing music alone:
a. Given two instruments, young children will generally play instruments in two ways. The first way is to play one instrument first and then play the other. Alternatively they will play these instruments together. Young children usually adopt the first way, and then adopt the second way when they play instruments.
b. It was discovered that young children generally would only play with up to four instruments at any one time. Since young children adopt “make up” or “division” methods to play instruments, they will group the instruments in such a way that will make it seem like they are only playing with two instruments.
c. Young children arrange these instruments in several different forms when they play them such as: parallel, side by side, interweave, and in a triangle. It was found that the most common method of arranging the instruments was in a line side by side. The two greatest influences in arrangement of the instruments were the characteristics of the instrument and the physiology of the child.
2. Young children playing music in a group:
a. In group situations the young children will play the instruments in two ways. The first way is to take turns with the other children. Secondly they will play with the other children at the same time. It is most common for the children to take turns while playing the instruments.
b. In group situations it was found that the young children would only play one instrument each, therefore the proportion of children to instruments was 1:1.
c. The young children arrange themselves in different forms when they play as a group such as: parallel, side by side, in a triangle, and in a square. It was found that the most common arrangement was parallel which is two rows of children facing each other. The biggest factor affecting the arrangement was the number of people in the group.
