Play, search, and create : in search of how to let children have their sounds

One of the aims of the present revision of the Course of Study for Elementary School is the education of children's ability of acting and expressing themselves creatively based on their own thinking and judgements. That ability is essential for children to have a positive attitude in life. This thesis explores how to organize a learning process in which early stage elementary school children can actively engage in music with their creativity in full use. Specifically we propose a leaning method consisting of Playing, Searching, and Creating. Playing should include rediscovering a variety of sounds
