Abstract Details

2009, Master of Music, Ohio State University, Music.
It has been observed that children have difficulty dancing to the beat of music. This paper aims to explore the inability of children to synchronize movement to an external beat and to examine through research and experimentation whether this difficulty may result from the average musical tempi being too slow in relationship to a child’s internal timing mechanism and body morphology.
