Abstract
The present study aimed to develop a teaching method for changing lyrics based on musical concepts in the current elementary music textbooks for 3rd and 4th grades. The contents of song lyrics activity in the role of teachers in the definition of music making and in the connection between music and language were investigated. Based on the textbooks analysis, various methods were suggested in which the essential musical concepts (accent, rhythm) included in all lyrics change and the selective musical concepts (e.g. form, key) characteristic of the song are linked to the content and linguistic characteristics of the lyrics. This study confirmed that song lyrics activity can be linked to cultivating Comprehensive Musicianship and making vocal works. Also this article will be a detailed lesson example of the achievement standard [4um01-03] presented in the 2015 revised music curriculum.
