Influence of young children's learning modalities on their pitch matching

Journal/Book: Percept Mot Skills. 1993; 76: 313-4.

Abstract: To assess whether the ability to match pitch vocally could be improved through use of learning modalities 1201 children, ages 6 to 9, sang a song while responding visually (seeing high and low visual aids), auditorily (hearing high and low pitches), or kinesthetically (showing high and low with their hands). Analysis indicated the first-grade children using the visual model sang significantly more accurately than the first-graders using either auditory or kinesthetic models. Vocal accuracy with the visual model did not improve after first grade.
