“…Contrary to the notion of the infant entering the world in a blank slate (John Locke 1690, cited in Berk, 1999), there is now evidence showing infants to be sophisticated listeners who perceive music in many adult-like ways (Schellenberg & Trehub, 1996;Trehub & Trainor, 1993) . For example, young infants perceive melodic contour (see Ferland & Mendelson, 1989;Trehub, Bull, & Thorpe, 1984) and are responsive to different pitch alphabets (Lynch & Eilers, 1992), consonance and dissonance (Schellenberg & Trehub, 1996;Trainor & Heinmiller, 1998;Zentner & Kagan, 1998), timbre (Michel, 1973;Pick, Gross, Heinrich, Love, & Palmer, 1994), expectation and form (Krumhansl & Jusczyk, 1990;Melen & Wachsmann, 2001), among others. In the first year of life, infants also display some sophisticated musical-perceptual abilities such as grouping mechanisms and auditory stream segregation (Demany, McKenzie, & Vurpillot, 1977;Trehub & Thorpe, 1989).…”

Listening preferences for two pieces, Prelude and Forlane from Le tombeau de Couperin by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), were assessed in two experiments conducted with 8-month-old infants, using the Headturn Preference Procedure (HPP). Experiment 1 showed that infants, who have never heard the pieces, could clearly make a distinction between the Prelude and Forlane when the latter are played in multiple (i.e. orchestral) but not single (i.e. piano) timbres. In Experiment 2 infants were exposed repeatedly to one of the two piano pieces over a 10-day period. Concurrent with previous studies, results suggested that babies can recognize a familiar piece after a 2-week delay. Implications for early childhood music education are outlined at the end of the article.

“…Another study group by Pick et al (1994) also described infants aged between 7 and 9 months tended to stare more intently at the instruments that accompanied the soundtrack. The findings postulate that an encounter with hearing and seeing a musical performance in the first few years of life may influence what young children understand about instruments and sound.…”

“…The first study route includes research on how exposure to music impacts young children's capacity to match auditory and visual cues. Pick, Gross, Heinrichs, and Love (1994) looked at whether young infants could identify the origin of different sounds from distinct musical instrument families as well as different musical instruments within a single family. Pick et al (1994) allowed children aged three to seven to view a video of two musicians performing while the soundtrack for one of the instruments played.…”

Pick et al (1994) allowed children aged three to seven to view a video of two musicians performing while the soundtrack for one of the instruments played. It was discovered that kids between the ages of 5 and 7 were able to recognise and classify different musical instruments within the family of instruments based on their pitch and size.…”

The study sought to investigate the role of music in the lives of pre-school children in the Offinso Municipality and also examines how children respond to music within the pre-school learning environment. To arrive at a detailed description and identify pre-school musical experiences that will nurture their musical potential and also to observe and outline children's actions and responses when they engage or participate in musical activities in pre-school learning environment, the researcher adopted a qualitative method approach in a conjunction with interpretivists' paradigm and implemented the case study research strategy. The instruments used were interviews and observation. The study revealed that Children learn language structure, word formation, pronunciation, grammar, meaning, and usage of the words in the songs that they sing. Music is used for enrichment, enjoyment, self-esteem, language development, or for teaching other subjects. Children are natural musicians, and exposure to music during the early years enhances the learning process by promoting language development, creativity, coordination, and social interaction. There is a need to develop the early childhood music programme from the following perspectives; self-selected activities, opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, and developmentally and educationally sound musical activities.

Pick et al (1994) wiesen für 40 Kinder im Alter von 5 bis 6 Jahren nach, dass das Zeigen von Instrumenten, deren Name zuvor gesagt wurde, besser gelang als das Benennen von gezeigten Abbildungen von Instrumenten durch die Versuchspersonen (S. 367-368). Ein sogenanntes Labeling wurde beobachtet, Klarinetten wurden als Flöten sowie alle Streicher als Geigen bezeichnet.…”

Wahrnehmung von Klangfarben ausgewählter Orchesterinstrumente bei Vorschulkindern

Das klangliche Unterscheiden von Instrumenten ist ein Ziel des Anfangsunterrichts im Fach Musik und stellt eine Voraussetzung für das bewusste Hören von Musikwerken dar. Studien zeigten, dass Vorschulkinder in der Lage sind, Klangfarbenunterscheidungen solistisch spielender Instrumente über die Methode Zuordnung sicherer zu treffen als über die Methode Identifikation. In der vorliegenden Studie wird mit abgewandelten Aufgabenstellungen geprüft, ob diese Forschungsergebnisse reproduzierbar sind. Die Ergebnisse von 120 Vorschulkindern im Alter von 6 Jahren bestätigen, dass das Erkennen von Melodieinstrumenten über Zuordnung besser gelingt, jedoch anfällig für Zufallslösungen ist. Die Dauer des Zuhörens bis zum Fällen der Entscheidung unterscheidet sich jedoch nicht. Hörbeispiele mit solistisch spielenden Instrumenten werden in Bezug auf die Instrumentenfamilie sicherer identifiziert als solche mit Ensemble.
