Different-Age and Mentally Handicapped Listeners' Response to Western Art Music Selections.

Byrnes, Suzanne Rita

Journal of Research in Music Education, v45 n4 p568-79 Win 1997

Examines musical responsiveness in children in grades 2, 5, 8 and 11-12, and trainable mentally handicapped students to different performance media. Finds that lower and higher grades rated all performances more positively than did middle grades, and instrumental music was preferred across all grades; no results were obtainable for handicapped students.
