Abstract

This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of a therapeutic program based on musical songs in alleviating the phenomenon of social shyness among kindergarten in the schools in the city of Irbid, numbering (340) children. The Rovan Model School and Kindergarten, numbering (70) children, was chosen intentionally from the kindergartens of the study community due to its proximity to the researcher’s residence. Then (25) children who suffer from social shyness, aged (5-6) years, were selected. By useing The study used the experimental method with a quasi-experimental design, for one group (one division). The study shows that:  there are statistically significant differences (α≤0.05) between the pre- and post-applications in the average degree of performance of the study sample children on the social shyness scale.and when reviewing the arithmetic averages it became clear that these differences were in favor of the post-measurement; The arithmetic averages for the postscale are higher than those for the delayed measurement, and this may be due to the children not continuing to communicate and integrate with the musical songs after completing the application of the therapeutic program for a short period of time, which affected the children by other extraneous factors such as motor sports activities, internal trips, or family visits. , or official holidays.
