註釋The purpose of this survey and subsequent interview was to investigate parents' use of developmental music activities taught in a weekly music group. We specifically questioned what type of activities were most used by parents, the frequency of each used, and the correlations between attendance, demographics, and use of activities. The survey and interview also sought to determine parent perceptions of the developmental music groups. Parents of children ages 6 to 24 months (n=40) who a attended a weekly developmental program served as participants for this study. Participants completed a 3 page survey created by the researcher obtaining information on demographics, attendance, and the frequency with which they use activities and handouts from the group in other settings. Ten subjects volunteered for a short interview that asked participants to describe ways they use the activities in other settings. Greeting songs and transitional songs were reported by 55% of the respondents as being used 6 or more times outside the group. Songs for affection and bonding were reported by half of the respondents as being used 6 or more times. Songs with movement, songs with stories, and songs with sign language were also activities reported as being used 6 or more times by a large number of respondents. The least frequently used activities appeared to be the songs with scarves, songs with puppets, and songs with emotions. Seventy-seven percent of the respondents reported never using songs with scarves, 50% reported never using songs with puppets, and 47% reported never using songs with emotions. A Spearman rank order comparison revealed a moderate correlation between participants' self-report on the frequency of activities used and their approximate length of attendance. Higher scores of the frequency of activities used were correlated with scores on length of attendance, rs = 0.30, p
