Musical training has been shown to have a positive influence on a variety of skills, including auditory-based tasks and nonmusical cognitive and executive functioning tasks; however, because previous investigations have yielded mixed results regarding the relationship between musical training and these skills, the purpose of this study was to examine and compare the auditory processing skills of children who receive focused, daily musical training with those with more limited, generalized musical training. Sixteen typically developing children (second–fourth grade) from two different schools receiving different music curricula were assessed on measures of pitch discrimination, temporal sequencing, and prosodic awareness. The results indicated significantly better scores in pitch discrimination abilities for the children receiving daily, focused musical training (School 1) compared to students attending music class only once per week, utilizing a more generalized elementary school music curriculum (School 2). The findings suggest that more in-depth and frequent musical training may be associated with better pitch discrimination abilities in children. This finding is important given that the ability to discriminate pitch has been linked to improved phonological processing skills, an important skill for developing spoken language and literacy. Future investigations are needed to determine whether the null findings for temporal sequencing and prosodic awareness can be replicated or may be different for various grades and tasks for measuring these abilities.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a musical instrument performance program on emotional intelligence, anxiety, and aggression in Korean elementary school children. A quasi-experimental study design was employed, in which the experimental group ( n = 30) received a weekly group musical instrument performance class with a regular music class, and the control group ( n = 30) received only a regular music class that is part of the elementary school curriculum. We measured emotional intelligence, anxiety, and aggression at the beginning and end of the 24-week intervention using the Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Aggression Scale. The musical instrument performance program improved the ability to perceive emotions, and reduced physical and verbal aggression, but had no statistically significant effect on the level of total emotional intelligence, anxiety, or aggression.

ABSTRACTEven though podcasting is a relatively new digital technology, it is becoming a tool of great value in the field of education. Although its possibilities are mainly being explored in post-secondary education, in recent years, the amount of studies and experiences in secondary education have incremented. In this communication we present a music class work experience where podcasts (mainly video podcasts) have been used to support musical interpretation. The data in this project indicates that students feel very motivated when using podcasts, a tool which comes from the 2.0 Web and that has a great potential for working on instrumental techniques.RESUMENAunque el podcasting es una tecnología digital relativamente nueva, se está convirtiendo en una herramienta de gran valor en el ámbito educativo. Aunque sus posibilidades están siendo exploradas principalmente en la educación superior, en los últimos años han ido apareciendo estudios y experiencias llevados a cabo en la educación secundaria. En esta comunicación presentamos una experiencia de trabajo en el aula de música utilizando podcasts (principalmente videopodcasts, podcasts de vídeo) de apoyo a la interpretación instrumental. Los datos de este trabajo indican que el alumnado se muestra muy motivado con el uso de podcasts, una herramienta proveniente de la Web 2.0 con gran potencial para el trabajo de la técnica instrumental. Contacto principal: [email protected]
