“…In these, the occurrence of vocal productions including minor and major seconds is common. Also, when infants listen to melodies that are interrupted at points that sound inconclusive they tend to vocalize, filling the gap (Hornbach, 2005; Valerio & Reynolds, 2009) by singing sounds that are close in terms of pitch to the last one heard (Rodrigues & Rodrigues, 2003; Valerio, Seaman, Yap, Santucci, & Tu, 2006). It seems possible to affirm that children tend to complete the musical phrase, incorporating tones that are adjacent to each other in terms of pitch.…”

We compared infants' vocalizations produced both in singing and speaking conditions. In this study we collected the vocalizations of 12 infants aged between 12 and 24 months. Each 30-minute session integrated two stimulus conditions-speaking and singing. An acoustic analysis was developed in order to measure both segmental properties and melodic and rhythmic features. The results showed significant differences in the vocalizations to which the two stimulus conditions gave rise: in the duration of the vocalizations and the duration of the phonation, the number of nuclei and the duration of each nucleus present in the vocalizations. In particular, the greater extension of vowels in vocalizations in response to the singing condition seems to be distinctive from those produced in response to the speaking condition. This may reveal that there is a precocious distinction between the singing voice and the speaking voice. The acoustic analysis that we used shows promise in monitoring children's sequential singing development from early infancy onwards.

“…Listening to music with infants may benefit infant music development by increasing their exposure to music of many styles and from a variety of cultures and traditions; however, researchers have noted that the importance of live music-making and social music interactions between caregivers and infants may be invaluable (Reynolds & Burton, 2017; Trehub & Schellenberg, 1995; Valerio & Reynolds, 2009). Although the role of music in the home and between infants and their primary caregivers should not be understated, music educators may help develop a socially interactive music culture within their communities by providing high-quality music programs in various settings, such as schools, community centers, hospitals, and prenatal classes.…”

“…Many caregivers engage in music experiences with infants in diverse ways and for various purposes. Caregivers have used music to soothe infants, to ritualize everyday tasks, to play with infants, and to bond with infants (Corbeil, Trehub, & Peretz, 2016; Custodero & Johnson-Green, 2008; Ilari, 2005, 2016; Trehub & Schellenberg, 1995; Valerio & Reynolds, 2009). Researchers have found that the more infants gain exposure to frequent and varied music, the more infants may benefit in their music development (Gordon, 1999, 2013; Hicks, 1993).…”

Infant Music Development and Music Experiences: A Literature Review

Update: Applications of Research in Music Education

Each infant is born with music potential, and early exposure to music and social music interactions may positively affect music development. Researchers have found that infants perceive music, attend to music, respond to music, and engage in social music interactions. Caregivers may enhance their music practices by deepening their infant music development understanding. This literature review includes information about infant development, music perception and preference, music responses, and music-making with caregivers. With the intention of providing insights and practical suggestions that may inform interactions between infants and caregivers (such as parents, guardians, and music educators), the purpose of this literature review was to synthesize research on the topic of infant music development and music experiences. Recommendations for caregivers and music educators are discussed.
