Instrument Association Skills: Children in First and Second Grades.

Wooderson, Dawn C.; Small, Ann R.

Journal of Research in Music Education, v29 n1 p39-46 Spr 1981

Subjects listened to sounds of individual musical instruments and matched these to instrument pictures. Second graders scored significantly higher than first graders; rank orders of instruments according to association difficulty, however, were markedly similar between grades. Results support the view that children bring much music knowledge to their first classes. (Author/SJL)
