Sažetak
Progression of listening to music as cognitive activity to cognitive-emotional one is a starting point of the cognitive-emotional (CE) listening to music which will be presented in the paper. This holistic approach to music listening interviews the analytical tasks that lead to the acquisition of musical knowledge and the associative tasks that stimulate pupils’ imagination and emotional reactions. During the school year 2018/2019 557 fifth grade pupils in 16 Croatian general schools participated in the research of the CE approach. The study had a number of research objectives. In this paper the results in relation to pupils’ impressions and fantasy and teachers’ reflection will be described. The research methodology was a two-group experimental design. The control group was taught according to the conventional teaching approach, while the experimental group followed the CE approach. One questionnaire was prepared for pupils, and two questionnaires for the teachers. All questionnaires comprised YES/NO, open-ended, multiple choice questions and rating scales. Quantitative and qualitative approaches to data analysis were adopted. The findings confirm that the CE approach does stimulate a more intense emotional music experience in school-age children linked with their overall impression regarding music. They reflect upon the music and non-musical elements like human characteristics, values and ways of problem solving. This approach engages pupils across a range of musical and non-musical modalities (singing, dancing, playing and verbal and / or non-verbal presentations) and pupils also respond to the music through these modalities. The teachers stated that the CE approach was successful in practice, that facilitated pupils’ better concentration and involvement, more active participation and gave them the opportunity to express emotions and impressions. Teachers realized that preparing the teaching plan accordingly requires a more detailed lesson’s preparation. If we strive to improve the school practice, all the participants should be deeply involved: pupils with their activity and teachers with desire to teach creatively. The CE listening to music is one of the paths how we can succeed in it and new research in that direction will be proposed.
