In order to provide information concerning the development of musical concepts in young children, musical tasks related to Piaget's concept of conservation of metric time were presented to second- and third-grade children. The results indicated that children who played musical instruments did not perform significantly better than their peerswho did not play musical instruments. Second, females were found to be superior to males in performing the tasks. Third, there was a significant positive correlation between performance on the musical tasks and verbal ability for both males and females. Finally, it was found that little support could be given to the idea that conservation of metric time develops in an invariant sequence.
