Aesthetics of Ghanaian indigenous children's play songs

This study aimed at examining the aesthetics of Ghanaian indigenous children's play songs. It adopted qualitative analysis techniques. The sample consisted of 12 participants who have helped in children gaming and trainings. This ensured that the information given is valid and very essential for the study. The information was collected and analyzed qualitatively and thematically. Present study concludes that songs can be seen to play an important role in the educational, emotional and cognitive development of children. It is important to understand that music fosters an appreciation of different cultures, encourages creativity and provides an outlet for freedom of expression. Songs have influence and significance which goes beyond words. First and foremost, sharing music with children is simply just another way of giving love and receiving affection. Music is an avenue to express creativity. When children are not allowed to let their imagination go wild, they can be stymied and merely adapt to the condition they are in as people. Children would become free to explore, design, and build at their own pace when developing a discipline that focuses on the fine arts
