Från färdighetsträning till vokalt uttryck
Om sången i grundskolans läroplaner
The subject singing in elementary school changed its name to music in 1955 and with the name change followed a change in the content of the topic. In my study, I examine the perspective of how song as a subjekt has changed in the basic school curriculum texts. As a complement to text analysis, I used interviews in which two music teachers with long service in primary school were interviewed. My survey shows that there has been a clear change of the contents of concept song from being a pure skill where the aim was the vocal line benefits in different contexts and is today a vocal expression that can be embodied in many different ways. Curriculum texts have not been crucial to the changing content of the concept song. The change is more a consequence of a number of other factors such as teachers education, music, substance identification in school and social changes that led to a more postmodern approach the knowledge concept.
