Application of the Orff Approach to Ear Training for Traditional Korean Rhythmic Patterns Education in Kindergarten

유아 국악장단 수업 모형의 개발 및 효과 연구 -Orff의 청음중심 단계적 지도법을 중심으로-

A model for teaching traditional Korean rhythmic patterns using Orff's ear training approach was developed and implemented with aim that it could be used as basic data for the operation of Korean music education. Children's rhythmic sense improved through teaching of sound searching, body rhythm, playing instruments, and improvising. Teaching the order of connective rhythmic patterns and a basic patterns-centered approach was more effective than teaching modified rhythmic patterns. With ear training, children perceived the stress of rhythmic patterns in advance and they perceived the length of sound. These results show that this model can be used as a basic approach in the operation of Korean music education.
