| Abstract | This report defines musical aptitude in order to construct a test and obtain data pertinent to the perfecting of the definition and helpful in the practical assessment of student aptitude. Criteria for assessing potential music students often reflect achievement rather than aptitude; objective tests are often too atomistic and narrow in scope or are too subjective and dependent on culture and training. By defining musical aptitude as the ability to conceive the structure of acoustic material, and by placing that definition within a model representing the areas of important variable correlation with musical comprehension--areas of sensory discrimination, musical aptitude and some correlated factors, and personality--a basis for a culture-free test of aptitude was derived. The test was administered to 30 music institute students, ages 10-18, and consisted of recognition of a second series of sounds as a segment of a first series of sounds. Analysis of the results, which correlated .60 with teacher's ratings, have motivated further study which will consist of a lengthened test, the use of the test in selecting institute students, and the correlating of musical ability with general intelligence and spatial ability.
