Improving Students Learning Attention by Music Therapy Approach

-an Example of the 3rd Grade Students in Elementary School
Chang, Ching-Yi
Abstract
Music therapy is the use of music to achieve therapeutic goals. Goal areas
include motor skills, social/interpersonal development, cognitive development,
self-awareness, and spiritual enhancement etc. In the elementary school, we
can enhance or improve students learning attention by music therapy
approach.
We designed a set of curriculumns so called the music therapy
curriculumns for improving students learning attention. As we implemented
these curriculumns for the 3rd grade students in the elementary school, we got
the following conclusions:
1. The students learning attention was improved apparently after we had
implemented to teach the students our designed music therapy
curriculumns.
2. The effect of our implementation was apparently distinct according to
gender. Girls were better than boys.
3. The effect of our implementation was not apparently distinct according to the
differential income among the students families.
4. The effect of our implementation was not apparently distinct whether the
students ever learned musical instruments befored or not.
5. The effect of our implementation was apparently distinct by the diffirent
musical affinity of the students. The students interested in music were better
than those that were not interested.
6. There was positive correlation between the level of improving learning
attention and the achievement of music curriculumn learning.
