Abstract
This thesis will serve as a guide and show the function
or music in the National Recreation Playground Program. The
recreation program's aim is to organize and promote a wide
range of activities that a start would consider spiritually
satisfying, mentally stimulating, physically wholesome, and
socially sound.
Music is a field only recently being introduced into the
recreation program. A historical background will be given
to establish the need of experiencing and studying fine arts.
These musical ideas have been concluded from successes and
failures with a music program in the Hutchinson and Wichita,
Kansas Recreation Program. The concept is to make the music
program both beneficial and enjoyable, thus stimulating the
desire to continue the study of music in school, church, and
outside activities. The appendix may be used as a brier
guide in the construction of puppets and rhythm band instruments
and in the selection of reading and listening material.
To combine all these various phases or music which will
become the basis of the recreation's music program, I have
prepared these suggestions and aids for the playground leader.
