Thus, a fundamental question in developing tasks for assessing musical ability is whether the tasks are supposed to test the comprehension of a specific, culturally evolved musical system, or the ease of processing of elementary patterns of rhythm and sound that can be found across various musical systems and traditions.
Abstract. Converging evidence has demonstrated that musical training is associated with improved perceptual and cognitive skills, including executive functions and general intelligence, particularly in childhood. In contrast, in adults the relationship between cognitive performance and musicianship is less clear and seems to be modulated by a ...
Nov 8, 2012 · The auditory system is of course critical for music, and it is hence one of the systems that is most altered by musical training. Functional and structural changes due to musical experience take place at various stages of the auditory pathway, from the brainstem (e.g., Wong et al., 2007), to primary and surrounding auditory cortices (e.g., Bermudez et al., 2009; Schneider et al., 2002), to ...

An entire section of the first Handbook of Research on Music Teaching and Learning was devoted to assessment. Those authors successfully summarized the history of assessment in music with chapters on assessment in five areas: teaching, creativity, program, general, and attitude. This chapter is an update of a few of the issues raised in the ...
Musical performance assessment is characteristic of higher music education, and the principal form of assessment associated with tertiary musical performance training. Although educational assessment is a ubiquitous feature of higher education around the world, it has remained a contested realm of practice for decades, reflecting competing purposes, approaches, and philosophies.

Nov 8, 2012 · Musical training has emerged as a useful framework for the investigation of training-related plasticity in the human brain. Learning to play an instrument is a highly complex task that involves the interaction of several modalities and higher-order cognitive functions and that results in behavioral, structural, and functional changes on time scales ranging from days to years.

Aug 11, 2021 · We sought to determine whether an objective test of musical ability could be successfully administered online. A sample of 754 participants was tested with an online version of the Musical Ear Test (MET), which had Melody and Rhythm subtests. Both subtests had 52 trials, each of which required participants to determine whether standard and comparison auditory sequences were identical. The ...
