La percezione della forma musicale nei bambini

One of the main goals of music education is that to develop the capacity to comprehend by hearing the speech of music, knowing how to follow the evolution and rebuild by ear the logic and the arrangements (M. Baroni 2004). Therefore, it is important that each subject has the tools to reconstruct by ear the formal articulation, trying locate by listening the organization map and the keen plot of it’s inside return. The segmentation of a piece according to Michel Imberty takes place on the base of the identification of contrasts and breaking of the temporal continuity that captures the attention of the listener and it brings him/her to operate towards the division in parts of the listened piece. In addition, the genetic construction of the ordered outline and of the ordered relationship is initially based on dynamic events that are experienced by the child starting from his/her own body, movements and sensibility (M. Imberty 2004). Especially considering that the research has wanted to verify if and how much the habit of movement in children could influence the formal cognition of a piece in it’s moments of contrast, repetition and tension. The first results of the research show the importance of the movement which aims to the perception of the formal structure of a piece, emphasizing a less participation in listening by children that study the instrument in the traditional way.
