Penerapan Musik Dan Gerak Tari Untuk Meningkatkan Kreativitas Anak Di PAUD

Abstract

This study examines the use of music and dance movements as a form of stimulation to increase children's creativity in Child Care Centers (TPA). Conceptually, music and dance are learning tools that can strengthen the ability to imagine, express, and develop motor coordination. However, the reality on the ground shows that art activities in many landfills are still minimally varied and have not been systematically designed, so they do not fully support the growth of children's creativity. The purpose of this study is to explain the steps of applying music and dance movements and analyze their influence on the development of children's creativity. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of the study show that music and dance activities are given in a structured and repetitive manner so that they can increase children's creativity, especially in the aspects of flexibility of movement, spontaneity of expression, and the ability to create simple movement variations. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of music and dance movements is an effective method in stimulating children's creativity in the TPA environment.
