	Musical development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In European classical music, musical development is a process by which a musical idea is communicated in the course of a composition.
		It refers to the transformation and restatement of initial material, and is often contrasted with musical variation, which is a slightly different means to the same end.
		The musical form which traditionally exploits development to the fullest is the sonata form.

		The renewed interest in integrating music into the school curriculum has also been influenced by the work of psychologist Howard Gardner, who, in his groundbreaking study Frames of Mind, challenged the limitations of traditional concepts of intelligence, listing musical ability as one of seven basic types of intelligence that need to be nurtured and exercised.
		One of the best ways for parents to foster an appreciation for music in their children is to provide a positive role model by demonstrating a love for it themselves, exposing their children to recorded music and concerts and, when they are very young, singing to and with them at home.
		Musical development can be enhanced by listening to a variety of music, especially lively music, which toddlers especially enjoy, and playing musical games that involve both song and movement.

	Development of Musical Ability From Birth to Childhood
		Since music is a unique and universal language, it makes sense that children can also acquire and learn music as they develop in a way similar to that of spoken language.
		As a future music educator, this idea is very important to me. If children can learn and acquire musical skills in ways similar to the ways they can acquire language, it will be important that they be taught music continuously from the day they are born.
		Parents and caretakers of children should try to give their children music instruction as best they can, and music instruction should be an integral part of the education system in the same way that language is, from the time a child enters school.

	Musical Development of the Young Child
		Since natural growth is the most important factor in a young child's musical development, the teacher of young children must be aware of the progression of that growth so that musical activities may be chosen that are appropriate and that encourage and reinforce the skills and concepts that are developing naturally.
		Moog hypothesized that, although these movements are not synchronized with the music, they must be in some way related to the music's rhythm, because "as the child develops he begins to match his movements both to the rhythm and the dynamic of the music which he hears" (Moog, 1979, p.
		Music training was shown to dramatically improve spatial reasoning abilities which are important for complex reasoning tasks such as mathematics.

		By the age of one year, however, this openness has begun to disappear as infants' musical expectations become shaped by the acoustic intervals that characterize the music of their own culture.
		Coordination of movement and rhythm develops by the age of 18 months, as does the ability to repeat specific melodic intervals (as opposed to single pitches).
		A special musical talent that is now thought to be influenced by both heredity and environment is perfect pitch, the ability to recognize the exact pitch of any sound and, in return, to accurately produce any pitch without being given a starting pitch as a reference point.

		As a music teacher, I am often asked the question, "What can I do for my child to help his/her musical development?" My answer to this question is based on the philosophy that every child is born with musical potential that can be developed into "talent" via quality musical experiences.
		Children develop musical talent and skills best by learning to sing first, and then applying the same concepts and skills to musical instruments.
		Many of these studies have used musical activities as a basis for study and found that brain activity increases during the activity.

	Musical ability by John Sloboda
		Musical ability is the ability to 'make sense' of music, and develops in most people over the first decade of life through normal enculturation.
		Whether this ability is developed to a high level usually depends on the decision to start learning a musical instrument, which forces high levels of focused cognitive engagement (practice) with musical materials.
		It is argued that much formal education inhibits the development of musical ability through over-emphasis on assessment, creating performance anxiety, coupled with class and sex stereotyping of approved musical activities.

		It grew into "Musical Development 301," of which this particular installment, Getting the Notes Under Your Fingers, or Practicing, covers the original subject matter.
		The underlying principle here is very simple, but very rarely do we relate it to music: the smaller the percentage of total effort—mental, neural, or muscular—required to do something, the more "brain cycles" you can devote to other things, like thinking ahead to the next section, singing, or just enjoying the music.

	The Development of Musical Tuning Systems
		When I was learning elementary music theory my teacher told me that the intervals of the diatonic major scale go "tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone semitone" and I asked the question "Why?".
		At the time this seemed to be of mystical significance, perhaps in much the way that the initial discovery of proportion in musical consonance struck Pythagoras or the discovery of both arithmetic and harmonic means in musical intervals struck Zarlino.
		I trace the development of western tuning systems from their origins in ancient Greece and Babylon up to the development of equal temperament.
