Musical Activities Performed During Music and Movement Classes at the Primary School in Romania

Abstract

"Quality music education can only be achieved when the activities proposed by teachers during music and movement classes are designed for the development of musical skills in children. For this purpose to be achieved, teachers must have musical skills that allow them to perform various musical activities. Through this study we explore the opinion of teachers teaching music and movement at primary school about the musical activities they perform. This research is based on a design based on a quantitative analysis: A questionnaire attended by 1,151 teachers from the primary school in Romania. These data were taken from 28.05 to 26.06.2021. The main results point out that singing on a voice, musical listening and teaching are the reference activities to the primary cycle. Teachers also use YouTube, various platforms and teaching tools made by other colleagues for their own musical activities. It is obvious that the institutions that can propose training activities for teachers have never organized, in proportion of 59, 3% musical training activities."
