Developing choral skills at a young age through choral singing.
Developing choral skills at a young age through choral singing.

Summary/Abstract: In this study we will present an experiment performed on a group of children whowere selected based on musical aptitude tests and were included in an experimental group.In this group we found children with various musical abilities: some have a very goodhearing but do not always sing correctly, some did not get good results in testing melodichearing but have rhythmic problems, others fail to reproduce the rhythm. Thanks to thesystematic choral activities carried out over a period of 8 months, most children were ableto achieve coordination between hearing and voice and to develop musically. If the childrenbenefit from a specialized guidance, they can obtain expressive and technical performancesthrough highly artistic interpretations. If the conductor manages to win the children's trust,to form their artistic discipline and to breathe into them a love for music, the satisfactionswill be as grand as those received from a choir of professionals.
