Abstract	Previous research has suggested that by the age of six, children display high levels of competence in identifying and reliably distinguishing between different musical styles. Until now, it has been difficult to investigate musical style sensitivity in the early years because the test procedures have relied heavily on the use of language, including the use of verbal instructions and written responses, and because they have demanded levels of concentration, attention and memory span that are beyond most preschoolers. This study reports on the development and piloting of a new procedure which overcomes these problems, and the results suggest that many preschool children do seem able to distinguish between different musical styles.
