Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the effectiveness of instructive methods to promote the articulation of image in constructive music expression. Two instructive methods are hypothetically proposed. 1. Having dialogues between the teacher and students in order to generate meaning in the musical activity. 2. Having students listen to their own performance in order to externalize their performance. The author has used these two methods in a class of constructive music expression in the second grade. The entire process of the class has been transcribed and analyzed. The result of the analysis shows that these two methods are effective for articulating images. The result also suggests that the methods lead students to problem-solving that is effective in musical activities.
