“…Singing is one of the most common musical activities in Early Childhood Education (ECE). Songs are taught to provide children with a repertoire to perform (Campbell, 2010; Gul & Bozkaya, 2015; Young, 2006), to increase vocabulary and enhance the ability to speak (Kristyana & Suharto, 2014), to reinforce foreign language learning (Ludke et al, 2014; Millington, 2011), to boost long‐term memory and retention (Wolfe, 2010), to ease transitions, routines, and as a clean‐up strategy in the classroom (Addessi, 2009; Register & Humpal, 2007), and to create positive learning environments (Angel‐Alvarado, 2017; de la Vega Sestelo, 2015; Paquette & Rieg, 2008). Songs are inherent to culture and can help children gain a better understanding of the identity of their community, their culture and the culture of others (Ilari et al, 2013).…”
