Through micro-genetic analysis of early singing, I describe and explain the complexity of song as an elementary cultural expression. For educators, it is important to understand the key role of song with and by young children as a means to convey feelings and musico-linguistic rules. Song consists of melody and lyrics, both of which are connected by metrical rules to form a Gestalt. A song sung by 18-month-old Lynn exemplifies that she produces the melody with ease, but shows difficulty forming the words. By following rules, she forms and expresses feelings of belonging to those who shared their singing with her previously.

一个年幼的孩子如何在她会说话之前唱一首著名的歌曲

通过对早期歌唱的微观基因分析，我描述和解释了歌曲作为一种基本文化表达的复杂性。对于教育工作者来说，重要的是要了解与幼儿一起唱歌以及由幼儿唱歌作为传达情感和音乐语言规则的手段的关键作用。歌曲由旋律和歌词组成，两者通过韵律规则联系起来形成格式塔。18 个月大的林恩 (Lynn) 唱的一首歌表明，她可以轻松地创作旋律，但很难形成词句。通过遵守规则，她形成并表达了对以前与她分享歌声的人的归属感。
