AFRIKAANS: In hierdie studie word 'n voorstel gemaak vir die skep van 'n interdissiplinere musiekblyspel vir die seniorfase (Graad 7-9). Die uitgangspunt vir hierdie musiekblyspel is die dinamiese interaksie wat daar tussen sprokies en musiek bestaan. In voorafgaande navorsing deur die outeur, is hierdie interaksie as die integrasieteorie geformuleer. Die integrasieteorie word in hierdie MMus-verhandeling deur middel van storytelling met die kurrikulum verbind. Die vertel-elemente van filmmusiek word ondersoek. Die werk van die filmprodusent, Walt Disney, as sinoniem vir die kombinasie van musiek, sprokies, film en storytelling, dien as voorbeeld vir die skep van die musiekblyspel. Improvisasie¬materiaal, na aanleiding van die fases en motiewe van 'n gekose sprokie, vorm die basis vir die skep van musiek vir die musiekblyspel. Die wedersydse ondersteuning wat tussen die sprokie en die musiek tot stand kom, verhoog die opvoedkundige waarde van hierdie projek. Die skep van hierdie musiekblyspel bied moontlikhede vir suksesvolle kurrikulum-integrasie.
ENGLISH: In this study a proposal is made for the creation of an interdisciplinary musical for the senior phase (Grades 7-9). The point of departure for this musical is the dynamic interaction that exists between fairy tales and music. In preliminary research by the writer, this interaction is formulated as the theory of integration. In This MMus dissertation the theory of integration is linked to the curriculum by means of storytelling. The narrative elements of film music are examined. The work of the film producer, Walt Disney, as synonym for the combination of music, fairy tales, film and storytelling, serves as an example for the creation of the musical. Improvisation material, in terms of the phases and motifs of the chosen fairy tale, forms the basis for the creation of music for the musical. The mutual support that comes about between the fairy tale and the music, enhances the educational value of this project. The creation of this musical presents possibilities for successful curriculum integration.
