MUSIC VISUALIZATION METHOD FOR AGES 5-7 YEARS OLD
MUSIC VISUALIZATION METHOD FOR AGES 5-7 YEARS OLD

Summary/Abstract: Visualization with different images and shapes is an effective tool to show and describe contents and musical signs in early childhood. Music is abstract for children because it has temporal rather than spatial extent. Music does not appear but it is felt through the sense of hearing, therefore during the process of learning music, to achieve faster results we use visual tools-drawings, colors, symbols as well as stories, i.e. what is invisible to children in music we make visible.In the Republic of North Macedonia, for the initial teaching of solfeggio and instrument in their curricula, there is no concept that links the teaching of these two subjects and there is no correlation between them which creates ambiguity in the learning process of initial musical information. Another shortcoming is the lack of material dedicated to elementary music education. As a result of those shortcomings the idea arose to create a new innovative method that will work and contribute in this direction and that will find application in the field of elementary music teaching and education. From many years of work with children aged 5-7, and from the lack of literature and musical concept for this age, the Music Visualization Method was created, by combining solfeggio and piano and visualizing their learning.The book “Musical Stories” was compiled on the method of visualizing music, which treats learning basic information from music theory; musical expressive elements, music with program, absolute music, all of them interconnected in the teaching of solfeggio and piano. The work explains the method of visualizing music with examples taken from the book “Musical Stories”. This method was created from the author herself.
