The purposes of this study were to (1) develop a task as a measure of rhythmic conservation in young instrumentalists, and (2) determine the validity of the task. Twenty Suzuki violin students between 4 and 8 years old were individually administered an author-designed rhythmic task and a series of standardized tasks that measured area and length conservation. The training level of the students was found to be less of a factor in their ability to conserve rhythm than was age and area-length conservation. These results appeared to satisfy the criteria established for validation. Administration of the conservation of rhythm task to a large population of Suzuki violin students seems warranted
