The Rhythm of Language: Fostering Oral and Listening Skills in Singapore Pre‐School Children Through an Integrated Music and Language Arts Program

Linda Gan; Sylvia Nguik Yin Chong

The Expressive Language and Music Project (ELM) was initiated at the National Institute of Education in 1996. Its primary aim was to develop an integrated language and music program for preschool children in order to enhance their oral language competency in English. Twelve kindergarten children attended weekly sessions on campus, for a year, where they participated in a wide variety of language arts and musical activities (based on the Orff and Kodaly approaches to the teaching of music). The natural communicative setting and the creative use of resources and these activities, facilitated the childrens task of acquiring English. At the end of the year all the children involved had made noticeable gains in language, music and social skills.

The talent development of a musically gifted adolescent in Singapore

Pauline S.K. Ho; Sylvia Nguik Yin Chong

Using Gagné’s Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent (DMGT) as a conceptual model, this study investigated the factors that influenced the talent development process of a musically gifted adolescent in Singapore. Five macro themes emerged as key catalysts that impacted the adolescent’s talent growth: (1) natural abilities; (2) early musical experiences; (3) empowerment and motivation for success; (4) support from significant others; and (5) cultural knowledge and values. This article elucidates that musicians have access to a wealth of cultural knowledge and values that are potentially valuable to improving young musicians’ participation with and motivation in developing their musical potential. The richness of one’s cultural origins and backgrounds, which is rarely brought to the fore, are important as it affects the way a musically gifted child is ‘nurtured and socialized’. It is suggested that music educators re-examine home—school relationships to foster links between their teaching strategies and students’ lives, for a rewarding musical development process. Le développement du talent chez un adolescent singapourien musicalement doué En utilisant le « Modèle différencié de la douance et du talent » (MDDT) en tant que modèle conceptuel, cette étude vise à examiner les facteurs qui influencent le processus de développement du talent d’un adolescent doué de Singapour. Cinq thèmes macrocosmes ayant un impact sur le développement du talent chez l’adolescent ont été recensé: (1) des habiletés naturelles, (2) des expériences musicales précoces, (3) une autonomisation de la motivation pour le succès, (4) un support significatif des autres, et (5) les connaissances et les valeurs culturelles. Cet article met en lumière que les musiciens ont accès à de riches connaissances et de riches valeurs culturelles qui sont sans doute précieuses pour améliorer la participation et la motivation des jeunes musiciens afin de développer leur potentiel musical. La richesse de l’origine culturelle, qui est rarement prise en compte, est importante puisque celle-ci affecte la façon dont un enfant musicalement doué est « nourri et socialisé ». Il est suggéré que les éducateurs en musique examinent à nouveau la relation maison/école afin de créer des liens entre leurs stratégies d’enseignement et la vie de leurs élèves dans la visée de développer chez eux leur processus musical de façon édifiante. Entwicklung eines musikalisch begabten Jugendlichen in Singapur Unter Verwendung von Gagnés ‘Differentated Model of Giftedness and Talent’ untersuchte diese Studie die Faktoren, die den Entwicklungsprozess eines musikalisch begabten Jugendlichen beeinflusst haben. Es ergaben sich fünf übergeordnete Aspekte als Hauptauslöser für das jugendliche Talent: (1) natürliche Fähigkeiten, (2) frühe musikalische Erfahrungen, (3) Erfolgsorientierung, (4) Unterstützung durch wichtige Personen und (5) Kenntnis kultureller Werte. Dieser Artikel beleuchtet die Tatsache, dass Musiker Zugang haben zu einem Reich kultureller Werte, die potenziell bedeutsam sind, um jugendliche Musiker zu motivieren, ihr Begabungspotenzial zu entwickeln. Der Reichtum der kulturellen Wurzeln, der nur selten in den Vordergrund tritt, ist wichtig, weil er sich auf die Art und Weise auswirkt, wie ein musikalisch begabtes Kind gefördert und sozialisiert wird. Hier wird vorgeschlagen, dass Musiklehrer das Verhältnis von Elternhaus und Schule überprüfen, um Verbindungen zwischen ihrem Unterrichtsverfahren und dem Leben ihrer Schüler im Hinblick auf den Ertrag des musikalischen Entwicklungsprozesses herzustellen. Desarrollo del talento de un adolescente dotado para la música en Singapur En este estudio se investigaron, utilizando el Modelo Diferenciado para Dotados y Talentosos de Gagné (DMGT: 2003), los factores que influenciaron el proceso de desarrollo de las capacidades de un adolescente musicalmente dotado en Singapur. Cinco macro temas surgieron como catalizadores clave que influyeron en el crecimiento del talento de este adolescente: 1) capacidades naturales; 2) experiencias musicales tempranas; 3) capacidad y motivación para el éxito; 4) apoyo de personas significativas; 5) conocimiento cultural y valores. El presente artículo demuestra que los músicos tienen acceso a una riqueza de conocimiento cultural y de valores que son potencialmente valiosos para mejorar la motivación e implicación de jóvenes músicos en el desarrollo de su potencial musical. La riqueza de sus orígenes y contextos culturales, que raramente se tienen en cuenta, son importantes porque afectan el modo en que un chico musicalmente superdotados es “criado y socializado” (Sternberg, 2007, p. 168). Se sugiere igualmente que los educadores musicales vuelvan a analizar las relaciones escuela-hogar a fin de favorecer los vínculos entre sus estrategias de enseñanza y la vida de su alumnado para conseguir un proceso de desarrollo musical gratificante.
