This study aimed to see the effects of therapeutic singing activities on the improvement in receptive vocabulary of young children. Seven non-disabled two-year-olds at ??Nursery in Daejeon participated in this study. Any child in the experimental group had no experience of getting music therapy, with no systematic music class provided in the nursery. This study implemented a group program in a total of 16 session per week, 30 minutes per session, from SEp. to Dec. 2011. The post-test was performed under the same conditions as the pretest, using the same tools and in the same place, on Dec. when the entire program was finished. The results showed that the population composed of seven two-year-olds made a great improvement of raw scores after therapeutic singing activities. Along with the improved raw scores, the age equivalent and the percentile rank were also improved. Therefore, educational activities with music therapy can be used as activities for facilitating language development to meet the developmental level of young children in the practice of early childhood education for the purpose of this study, and are expected to present data for planning activities suitable for the current capability level of young children on a stepwise basis and be used efficiently in the field of music therapy for young children.
