The Effect of Pretraining Conditions and Age on Pitch Discrimination Ability of Preschool Children.
Jordan-DeCarbo, Joyce
Journal of Research in Music Education, v37 n2 p132-145 Sum 1989
Reports two experiments which investigated the effect of three pretraining conditions on the discrimination of select pitch patterns. Finds no significant differences among groups but results show a significant age effect. Indicates that providing activities requiring children to compare tonal patterns is at least as effective as vocal repetition of tonal patterns. (KO)
