Summary

Introduction

The purpose of the study is to describe an analysis of children’s song characteristics Titounis. On YouTube, we can find several channels that focus on developing children’s songs, Pinkfong from Korea, Super Simple Songs from America, and Titounis from France. The varied instrumentation of accompaniment by utilizing imitations of sound combined with very simple song lyrics makes the presentation of Titounis songs different from songs from other children’s music video channels. Such a pattern needs to be studied to determine its potential if used as material for children’s songs that can positively contribute to children’s development. The music evokes a picture of experience (Reybrouck, 2015)
