Children's Songs and music – major and minor keys

The music is very much a part of our lives. It affects us in many ways and evokes different emotional responses, cognitive and physical. Music can convey many themes and ideas. Music communicates with us in terms of our own thoughts and feelings. The early Greeks believed that certain modes (scales) or tones elicited specific emotions.

Let's visit two scales most commonly heard in Western music (the major and minor tonal system) and the responses that these scales can give rise to the listener. Easy to listen to a large scale, to play from C to C follows using only the white keys on a piano. To hear a small scale, the game A to A using only the white keys.

For the child, the difference between major and minor differences in mood. Major scales tend to increase the feeling of happiness and joy. Minor scales are darker and tend to strike the mind of anyone. Children often describe in great songs that sound bright or cheerful. They describe minor as sad or scary.

While teaching music to young children, I discovered that they can sing songs in a major key more easily than the songs in a minor key. It may be due to the relationship of each other in these two scales. It may also be due to lack of experience in singing in a minor key.

It is interesting to note young children during free play as they improvise their own melodies and songs. While the tonal patterns can be short and repetitive, they tend to be in a major key. This may be due to environmental influences such as music in the house, television programs Children and / or musical training. Many children of the songs are composed in major.

Idiot bus made many songs for children primary keys. Their songs in the major key has great appeal for children because of the brilliant qualities, happy, energetic and inherent this tone. The melodies are very attached to the text as appropriate to each song.

Tempo, the arrangement of slots in melody, rhythm and harmony also play an important role in the establishment of mood or expression of a song, and more tone. Researchers have yet to explain why and how music affects our emotions. What we know is that music affects us all and has the power to appeal after emotions that reside within us.
