Narodna pesma iz etnomuzikološke građe u funkciji primene Vasiljević metode - metodički aspekt izbora dopunskog muzičkog materijala za mlađi školski uzrast

Abstract

In accordance with the current Vasiljević method, model songs and songs for special occasions are the starting point in the process of developing students' music literacy. At the same time, these songs are used for developing students' voice. In order to investigate the methodological functionality of the model songs and songs for special occasions, we analyzed the textbooks of eight publishing houses (Zavod za udžbenike, Klet, Vulkan, Eduka, Bigz, Novi logos, Freska, Kreativni centar). The results indicate that the textbooks mostly contain the models recommended in the curriculum, but that the models are often composed by the textbook authors themselves with a didactic purpose. It was also observed that the authors in the textbook literature, especially in the first-grade textbooks, do not follow the methodological guidelines of the Vasiljević method in terms of working on the development of the voice volume. In order to point to the ethnomusicological material as a good source for the selection of songs, we first explained the procedures for adapting the songs from the ethnomusicological material, and then provided several models and songs for special occasions. The aim of the research is to improve the lessons of music literacy in primary schools in Serbia using the Vasiljević method and to point out the importance of folk songs as basic and initial music material, both for the music literacy of children and for vocal development. The researchers used the method of theoretical content analysis. The implications of the research refer to raising the professional competence of primary school teachers in the selection of music material for teaching music literacy, the design of operational curricula, familiarization of the wider academic public with the importance of adapting musical material from ethnomusicological collections, the improvement of work in schools and teacher training colleges in terms of an adequate application of the Vasiljević method.
