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

- that young children's independent invented song making evolves from their early musico-communicative
- interaction with others, is evidential of their capacity for elaboration, and is foundational
- in the development of creative thought and activity in music. The argument is explored through
- the analysis of data generated in a longitudinal study of young children's (aged four to six years)
- early music making as composers, song makers, and notators. Focusing specifically on children's
- invented song, the article provides case study analysis of the song making of a four-year-old girl
- that explores the musical and lyric content, and the environmental features (context) that support
- and shape her song making (process) and invented songs (product). The implications of such a
- 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 > 330100 Education Studies > 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&eprintid=1917">item control page</a></p>
