This is a study on music teaching methods for young children based on an integrative approach and its purpose is to offer basic materials for the introduction and research of integrative music teaching methods for young children This study employed literature research as its method and, to this end, the following research themes have been established: 1. What is the composition of integrative music teaching methods for young children which are introduced for subject matters found in daily lives? 2. How are integrative music teaching methods for young children actually implemented? The research findings can be summarized as follows: First, with respect to the analysis of the activity amount of integrative music teaching methods for young children for subject matters found in daily lives, the most studies were conducted in the subjects of 'animal' and 'season' while the fewest studies were made on the subject of a 'special day.' Second, with respect to the integration types of integrative music teaching methods for subject matters found in daily lives, the 'integration within the music field' was most frequently found and the 'integration within the art field' was least frequently found. Based on this, the types of integration were re-examined. The results showed that 'singing a song' was most frequent in the integration within the music field, 'motion' was most frequent in the integration within the art field, and 'science' was most frequent in the integration within the scholastic curriculum area. Third, an investigation was conducted on the actual implementation methods of integrative music teaching methods for young children. It would be desirable to see that a variety of music activities are conducted in an integrative manner in music education for young children so that education for the whole man can take place. In addition, far-reaching studies on integrative music education will also be necessary.
