Abstract

Elementary school music education plays a crucial role in developing students' musical sensitivity and expressive abilities. However, young learners often struggle to understand abstract musical concepts, such as dynamics in singing. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a multisensory approach in teaching singing dynamics to second-grade elementary students by incorporating color as a visual representation and body movement as a kinesthetic reinforcement. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing observation, and documentation for data collection. The participants consist of second-grade students engaged in singing lessons where colors represent different dynamic levels, and body movements reinforce their understanding. The results indicate that this approach enhances students’ comprehension of dynamics, increases their engagement in learning, and strengthens the connection between auditory, visual, and kinesthetic perceptions. The study concludes that integrating color and body movement is an effective pedagogical strategy for improving young learners’ understanding of abstract musical concepts, particularly in singing dynamics. These findings suggest that multisensory strategies can be effectively applied by elementary music teachers to support students’ expressive vocal development and engagement in classroom singing activities.
