  24. <meta content="This article draws on systems views of creativity and their application in music education, to argue
  25. that young children's independent invented song making evolves from their early musico-communicative
  26. interaction with others, is evidential of their capacity for elaboration, and is foundational
  27. in the development of creative thought and activity in music. The argument is explored through
  28. the analysis of data generated in a longitudinal study of young children's (aged four to six years)
  29. early music making as composers, song makers, and notators. Focusing specifically on children's
  30. invented song, the article provides case study analysis of the song making of a four-year-old girl
  31. that explores the musical and lyric content, and the environmental features (context) that support
  32. and shape her song making (process) and invented songs (product). The implications of such a

  257. that young children's independent invented song making evolves from their early musico-communicative
  258. interaction with others, is evidential of their capacity for elaboration, and is foundational
  259. in the development of creative thought and activity in music. The argument is explored through
  260. the analysis of data generated in a longitudinal study of young children's (aged four to six years)
  261. early music making as composers, song makers, and notators. Focusing specifically on children's
  262. invented song, the article provides case study analysis of the song making of a four-year-old girl
  263. that explores the musical and lyric content, and the environmental features (context) that support
  264. and shape her song making (process) and invented songs (product). The implications of such a
  265. view for early childhood theory and practice are discussed.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/09669760.asp</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330199.html">330000 Education &gt; 330100 Education Studies &gt; 330199 Education Studies not elsewhere classified</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1917</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mrs Anita Cubit</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">27 Sep 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1917;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&amp;eprintid=1917">item control page</a></p>
