The Role of Innovative Musical Education in the Development of Social Skills in Children and Adolescents
Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools, v34 n4 p463-477 2024
This article aims to investigate the significance of innovative musical education in fostering social skills among children and adolescents. To achieve this objective, the authors devised teaching approaches centered on the development of social skills through vocal training, utilizing modern technologies such as "Minute Voice WarmUp and Swiftscales." The curriculum was designed to facilitate the formation of articulatory approaches to vocal singing, the enhancement of technical skills in vocal performance, the cultivation of emotional expression in execution, and the establishment of dual-voice rendition. Findings revealed that emotional expression in singing (0.491) and articulation (0.483) played pivotal roles in developing social skills, along with dual-voice rendition (0.207), influencing the freedom and confidence in execution. Moreover, the study results demonstrated that among the acquired social skills in children and adolescents, presenting vocal capabilities effectively (1.96) stood out prominently, enabling individuals to express their opinions in the interpretation of melodies. Additionally, students developed voice control skills (1.83), closely associated with the precision of word pronunciation and the conveyance of inherent intonation. The practical significance of this work lies in the potential for shaping social skills through vocal singing, guided by the utilization of digital applications such as "Minute Voice WarmUp" and "Swiftscales."
