Effects of an Integrated Physical Education/Music Program in Changing Early Childhood Perceptual-Motor Performance.

Brown, Judy; And Others

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v53 n1 p151-54 Aug 1981

Two approaches to facilitating perceptual-motor development in children ages 4-6 were investigated. Fifteen children (the experimental group) received integrated physical education/music instruction based on Kodaly and Dalcroze (Eurhythmics) concepts. The control group received movement exploration and self-testing instruction. Significant improvement occurred only in the experimental group. (Author/SJL)
