RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC EXPERIENCES AND MUSIC APTITUDERelationships between Early Childhood Music Experiences and Music Aptitude (original) (raw)

Abstract

The problems of this study are to 1) identify early childhood musical experiences (birth to 18 months) that predict music aptitude scores as measured in first grade and 2) learn whether school type (public/private) and school setting (urban/suburban) contribute to the predictions.
