Miriam Factora, Ph.D.
Item #:

Price:
$38.95
Philippine Children’s Songs, Spoken Rhymes and Games for
Teaching, Book One is a collection of 132 Philippine vocal
materials, most of which were collected by Dr. Factora through
extensive fieldwork across the country. Thirty-two of the
items that supplement this anthology come from secondary
sources, such as theses and existing publications. The
selections that Dr. Factora gathered directly from the field
come with 98 downloadable audio recordings. This is the first
in a two-part series of publications focused on Philippine
materials aimed at making music education in the Philippines
more culturally relevant and providing music educators a model
of sequential music teaching utilizing Philippine vocal
resources. The offerings in this first book represent 34
ethnolinguistic groups from across the country. This
collection is a practical reference for educators, students,
and cultural enthusiasts.
This book specifically presents a sequence to teach rhythmic
and melodic concepts through a systematic process developed
from the following major research components: 1) collection
and gathering of Philippine children’s folk songs, spoken
rhymes, and musical folk games around the country; 2)
transcription into music notation; 3) translation of the
materials into English; 4) translation of selected materials
into Filipino, the national language, with music
transcriptions; 5) analysis; and 6) classification and
systematization of the materials. Systematization resulted in
the development of a sequential music teaching model.
This research project aligns well with the Philippine
Department of Education’s goals and guiding principles for
music education, which emphasize the importance of teaching
local, traditional, and indigenous music alongside global
musical forms. This approach instills in students a sense of
cultural identity and pride, as well as an appreciation for
the rich diversity of the Filipino heritage.
