ABSTRACT
As part of the AIRS project examining children’s singing cross-culturally and developmentally, using the AIRS Test Battery of Singing Skills (ATBSS), we report results from testing 104 English children, aged between 4 and 9 years on three components. The results summarize a number of associations between singing and language skills, and children’s abilities to reproduce musical patterns. The findings indicate the variability in the singing skills of the youngest children, and distinctions between lyrical and verbal fluency. Concluding comments consider the significance and potential of the AIRS digital library for future research in this area.
