摘要：The aim of this research is to identify the difference between children’s solfege singing with body movement skills in terms of diction, pitch accuracy and rhythm between the treatment group and the control group. The solfege notations selected and evaluated in this research include (i) so mi and (ii) so mi la. The duration of this research is two weeks. Fifty children from two preschools were selected as respondents. This research adopts quasi-experimental design approach with one treatment group and one control group of twenty five children, respectively. The treatment group sang with body movements, while the control group sang without body movements. The research findings indicate that the Kodaly teaching method applying solfege singing with body movements is more effective to improve diction, pitch accuracy and rhythm compared to the teaching method without body movements. Solfege singing with body movements in Kodaly teaching method has given positive impact based on the fact that the solfege notation needs to be used to improve children’s musical skills.
