Perceptual Modality and Musical Aptitude among Kindergarten Students.

Sanders, Paul D.

Contributions to Music Education, v23 p89-101 1996

Examines the relationship between perceptual modality measured by the Swassing-Barbe Modality Index (SBMI) to musical aptitude measured by Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA) in kindergarten students. Reports correlations between the measures that support findings at other grade levels. Supports the theory that perceptual modalities become more integrated with maturity. (DSK)
