The development of musical style sensitivity in elementary school-age children

The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of musical style sensitivity in elementary school-age children. The problem was to discover the extent to which children in first through sixth grade are sensitive to style differences in music. The following questions were formed to facilitate the exploration of the problem: (1) To what extent does musical style sensitivity vary among children of selected age/grade level and gender? (2) To what extent does musical style sensitivity vary with selected genre or musical media? (3) To what extent does musical style sensitivity vary with selected musical stimuli that come from the same genre or from one or two stylistic genres apart? and (4) To what extent can developmental growth be identified in children's sensitivity to selected musical style stimuli?
