Children's singing; Musical cognition; Complementarity.Abstract
In order to deal with some aspects of children's singing and its relation to some cognitive aspects, we take these the following steps: (1) musical capacity is presented in three different views that are not mutually exclusive; (2) more recent studies on musical development are reviewed, with focus on singing and (3) finally, children spontaneous singing is addressed. Children's singing should be a promising study object for us to understand the relationship between the perception of musical environment and the individual's singing production in childhood; and how this perception and production reflect the musical environment and allow us to detect aspects of musical cognition.
