Music is a very i11q>or­ ta.nt :part of this program. In order to have an excellent music program, the tee.oher needs to have a good basio knowledge and understanding of music, a good basic knowledge and understandin& of children, and a ready reference to what is available in the area of .mu.sic for use at the first grade level. Numerous texts in music are available. Each public school gen­ erally provides one or several of these texts. However, the teacher needs to be aware of all the suggested song and music 11 terature that is available at the preaent time in order to provide an excellent program in music. I. THBl PROBLEM Statement 2!. ~ Qroblem. It is the purpose of this study to provide an annotated bibliography of music literature with suggested correlation for grade one. Isrporta.nce Q!. the study". The first grade teaab.er needs to have song and music literature available to meet the existing needs of chil­ dren. In order to do this, the teacher has to know what is available in texts in all areas of learning. This bibliography is an attempt to pro­ vide the teacher with information concerning the material available in 2 first grade music texte. II. DEFINITION OF TERMS USED Certain terminology, although in common use in music eduoation, may be strange to the layman and need definition. In this study, "bibliography" refers to two things: 1. A listing of all the music literature for use in first grade. 2. A listing of fourteen firet grade muaic texts and books of importance to the area of mu.sic education. ~ literature refers to songs for singing and rhythmic activi- ties and to piano pieces for listening and rhythmic activities. Annotated means a brief comment, including such things as com- poser, type of music, what the song is about, B'\1€gested accompaniment, mood, suggested rhythmic activities, length, rhythm, range, and national origin. Correlative aeans combinin& mu.sic with all other subject areas found in the curriculum. The abbreviations for publishers of the music books referred to here need the following clarification: Ginn. Ginn and Company, Ohioago, Illinois A.:B.C. American Book Company, Chicago, Illinois s.:s.a. Silver Burdett Company, San Francisco, California F.P.O. Follett Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois f.J!. Prentice-Hall, Incorporated, Englewood Cliffs, New Jerse7 C.O.E. C. C. Birchard a.nd Company, United States N.A.K.M.C. Neil A.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Thia annotated bibliography of music literature is an objective listill8 of available music literature found in music texts to help teachers correlate music with other Sllbject areas for enrichment. It does not eliminate the need for teaching music as such. It merely em­ phasizes the need for Dlllsia throughout the daily lives of children. The present bibliography does not atteq>t to differentiate good music literature from poorly written or trite literature. All music literature selected for firet grade texts was inaluded. The evaluation and selection of good music literature hae been left to each individual teacher. The previously stated criteria of SOll8 selection, by authorities in the field of music education, may be of assistance at this point. Finally, this bibliography is not a teacher's guide for the pur­ pose of telling teachers how to teach music. It was designed to help the teacher correlate music with other subject areas for enrichment, keepiDg in mind the need to evaluate the individual merit of each piece of music:. CHAPTER II .REVIEW OJ!' .REIA'r.ED LITEBA.TURE To understand mat was available in song and mueic literature in music texts, the writer has reviewed the music literature that is specifically for first grade. The writer has also reviewed books that were of importance to the area of music education. For purposes of efficient summarization, the literature will be reviewed in this chapter under the following headinge: The Correlative Approach; Criteria of Song Selection; end SingiI18 with Children. I. THE CORRELATIVE APPROACH Nye and Nye described the use of music in other areas of the cur- riculum in this way: A beautiful song that possesses emotional values and that describes experiences meaningful to children has universal appeal. These aesthetic, emotional, and cul­ tural qualities point toward this son& 1 s possible use to add interest, meaning, 81ld enjoyment to other areas of the curriculum.. It is also true that the subject matter of other areas can make lllllsic activities more interesting,
