“…Robert has a bilateral moderate-severe hearing loss and does not wear a hearing aid. His HI will have consequences for the perception of some speech sounds and frequencies (Vatti, Santurette, Pontoppiddan & Dau, 2014) but will not necessarily affect either perception or enjoyment of music (Matsubara, Terasawa, & Hiraga, 2014).…”

“…Tierney and Kraus (2013) argue that practice in beat timing may improve the brain’s response to processing auditory signals. There is also increasing evidence that musical training leads to superior AP in those with HI (Matsubara et al, 2014; Parbery-Clark, Anderson & Kraus, 2013; Rochette, Moussard & Bigand, 2014). For example, in people with HI, musical experience enhances rhythmic tapping performance in adults (Matsubara et al, 2014).…”

Therefore, there is the potential for rhythmic music training to support and develop musical aptitude in people with DS.…”

The musical rhythmic abilities of people with Down Syndrome (DS) reportedly exceed their general cognitive abilities. Although they display atypical rhythmic production in musical motor tasks, little is known about how their developmental and cognitive differences affect temporal perception or production. Additionally, hearing impairment often excludes potential participants from studies, further limiting our understanding. This case study examined the rhythmic ability of one young adult with DS and moderate-severe hearing impairment when producing limb-motor movements to music in auditory-only and auditory-visual conditions. His temporal accuracy was observed for gross-motor movements to music. Measurements were made of his temporal accuracy and stability when tapping on a drum at three tempi, and when tapping to non-isochronous rhythms. Results revealed temporal deficits in all tasks. However, production improved in tasks that were augmented with visuo-spatial stimuli, and in isochronous beat entrainment at the fastest tempo. Findings were compared to the participant’s cognitive and perceptual profile. Results suggest that his production was limited by developmental factors, but that auditory memory deficits and hearing may account for instability in isochronous entrainment tasks and delayed onset of timing. Recommendations are made for supporting skills in production and perception of auditory rhythms within the DS population.
