Abstract

The aim of music education is relevance of curriculum content through creativity, involvement, and flexibility. Therefore, the gamut of music programs must be continually and carefully examined to provide what is appropriate in the school music diet for today's technologically advanced child. This project was pursued to satisfy the need for a comprehensive music program in Martin County , Florida, and to assist the writer in guiding her kindergarten and first-grade children in discoveries leading to growth in musical sensitivity. As a result of the investigation, the writer has gained an in-depth understanding of the Manhattanville Music Curriculum Program, the Orff approach, and the Kodaly method as adapted by Mary Helen Richards. Related research revealed that no one method is the panacea in music education. Therefore, the forestated approaches were analyzed, paralleled, synthesized and implemented in structuring the music curriculum emphasizing creativity through involvement and discovery.
