Preschool Children's Music Preferences for Classical Music and World Music
Dobrota, Snježana
Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, Paper presented at the Annual International Conference of the Bulgarian Comparative Education Society (BCES) (20th, Virtual, Jun 2022)
Musical activities in early and preschool age significantly contribute to the overall development of the child. The paper has explored music preferences of preschool children for classical music and "world music." As a part of the research, a general data questionnaire and music preferences questionnaire were used. The research was conducted in Split, Croatia, on a sample of 126 children of early and preschool age children -- three to six years old. The results show that there was no difference in children's music preferences with regard to age. Furthermore, no difference was found in children's music preferences with regard to gender. The obtained results have significant musical-pedagogical implications for the organization and conception of musical activities during early and preschool education. Musical contents for listening to music and singing can include various examples of "world music." In this way, children will develop intercultural competencies from the earliest days.
