MUSIC EDUCATORS are agreed as to the significance of reading skills in the musical development of the individual. Skill in reading is considered an essential element of both musical understanding and appreciation, and of independent musical performance. Although there is little agreement regarding the degree of reading skill which children in the elementary school should be expected to develop, the basic program of the schools does give considerable emphasis to a variety of activities designed to facilitate the development of a minimal level of such skill. There is also general agreement among educators that a carefully planned music reading program designed to provide opportunities for the child to develop an aural understanding of the melodic, rhythmic, and interpretative elements of should precede any sequence of reading activities. It is expected that the child will, as a result of growing competence in the aural perception of musical sounds, be able to proceed effectively to the visual perception of symbols in reading because they are already familiar with the sound vocabulary of represented by these symbols. Recommendations regarding the general nature of such readiness programs have been based upon collective practical experience rather than upon systematic research. Since the future musical growth of the child depends upon developing this aural understanding, it is necessary to be able to identify accurately the stages through which such development moves. It is particularly important that we understand fully the nature of this auditory perception when programs of instruction in reading are planned
