The Development of Children's Musical Thinking
(Bayburt University, 2025) Caner, Sinem; Yapalı, Yunus
This study was conducted to examine the development of musical thinking in children aged 1-6, the critical periods in this process, and the impact of their musical interactions on cognitive, emotional, and social development. Through a systematic literature review, the research brings together scientific studies that explore various stages, ranging from children's musical exploration to the development of musical skills, the formation of thinking processes, and the deepening of comprehension. It has been observed that, particularly in the 4-5 age group, children enhance their awareness of rhythm and melody, begin to recognize different musical instruments, and express their emotions through music. Improvisation and creativity play a crucial role during this period, emerging as fundamental components of children's musical thinking. The study also examines how children construct a musical identity through music education and what musical skills they develop. The findings emphasize that creative musical activities support children's musical thinking and overall development. Furthermore, it is highlighted that exploring musical diversity, engaging in ensemble music-making experiences, and fostering parent-child interactions significantly contribute to children's development in the context of music education.
