Songs of ethnic Canada : (an interdisciplinary teachers’ guide for grades K-12, based on the folksongs of four Canadian ethnic groups) Luccock, Norma A.

Abstract

PROBLEM: One-third of Canada's population is now neither British nor French, yet few multicultural materials are available for teachers' use. The writer's aim was, therefore, to locate songs of four of Canada's minority groups and prepare them for use in Music, Social Studies, and Language Arts classrooms. PROCEDURE: For each group the writer chose four or five songs from ethnomusicological collections. The following aids were prepared for each song: adapted lyrics, orchestrations for Orff instruments, suggestions for use in Music classes and other subject areas, and a recording on tape cassette. CONCLUSION: Hopefully preparation of these materials will encourage educators to include multicultural Canadian songs in their programs.
