Abstract

There is a lack of creative material for classroom and music teachers to use. Teachers do not often have the creative ability or the time required to create their own materials; therefore, the author felt a need existed for an in-depth study of elementary music programs. The themes of the programs chosen were such that they correlate closely with social study units. Considerable research was conducted to find the most appropriate songs and dances from many sources. Vhen there were none, the author composed or created new material which was made available for elementary teachers. These programs may be adapted to meet the needs of individual schools. Teachers could modify or expand them to meet their own classroom situations. It was discovered that there was little related literature directed to the problem of preparing music programs for the elementary school. Dissertation Abstracts, issues of the Journal of Research in Music Education and Music Educators Journal were reviewed and it was found that an apparent void existed in this area. Additional programs may be developed in many other areas of the elementary music curriculum by those who are interested in this area of research.
