Reseña del editor

The question: `From where, and by what mechanisms, does an individual's musical ability originate?' is a subject of major interest both to music psychologists, and musicians, heightened by the recent research into prenatal perception of sound. The Origins and Development of Musical Competence brings together authoritative reviews on central issues, beginning with prenatal auditory experience, through infancy and early childhood. The chapters chart the developmental process with reference to the child's changing environment: from the uterus, through the intense and semi-exclusive mother-baby bond, to the wider contexts provided by the family, school, and society at large, making this the most up-to-date integration of music and developmental psychology.

Contraportada

From where, and by what mechanisms, does an individual's musical ability originate? This book outlines recent research in the development of musical competence in children, from before birth to the early teenage years. There is particular emphasis on new research showing how the human infant possesses most of the inherent characteristics required for more complex musical skills.
