Early vocabulary mastery is critical to developing language intelligence in early childhood. Through singing activities, students can become more enthusiastic about participating in the learning process and more optimally develop their initial vocabulary mastery skills. In addition, singing activities can help students become more comfortable using their vocabulary in real-life situations. This study was conducted to learn how to develop early childhood vocabulary through singing. The research method used is qualitative research. There are many data collection techniques used to gather information about a situation. By conducting interviews, observations, and documentation, it is possible to collect as much information as possible about the situation. This data validity technique uses evidence triangulation. The results of the study found that the learning process through the teacher's singing method in the classroom was well implemented. The improvement in children's cognitive abilities can be seen from the decline in the difficulties they experience when remembering the words of the song lyrics. That can also be seen from the results of the teacher's evaluation when asking children to mention the words contained in the song lyrics and sing them in front where they memorize them quickly, before using the singing method, many children had difficulty when asked to mention words related to the learning theme. After being given the singing method, children's voices became louder and more consistent.

Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa proses sebuaah pembelajaran melalui metode bernyanyi dilakukan oleh guru dikelas sudah terlaksana dengan baik. Peningkatan kemampuan kognitif anak dapat dilihat dari menurunnya kesulitan yang mereka alami saat mengingat kata-kata dari lirik lagu. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil evaluasi guru ketika meminta anak menyebutkan kata-kata yang terdapat dalam lirik lagu dan menyanyikannya di depan di mana mereka menghafalnya dengan cepat, sebelum menggunakan metode bernyanyi, banyak anak yang kesulitan saat diminta menyebutkan kata-kata yang berkaitan dengan tema pembelajaran. Setelah diberikan metode bernyanyi suara anak menjadi lebih keras dan lebih konsisten.
