Musical Fitness Assessment
WHAT IS MUSICAL FITNESS?
The ability to perform basic music skills, such as keep a steady beat, clap the rhythm of the words of a song, match pitches, and sing in tune. These skills develop the brain’s auditory processing and that is correlated with better reading achievement.
WHY ASSESS CHILDREN’S BASIC MUSIC SKILLS?
Keeping track of children’s progress on these foundational functions makes sense.
“FIT BY 5!”
With practice, most children will be able to perform these skills by age five.
