This book is based on a PhD thesis that investigated infants'
preferences and long-term memory for two contrasting two complex
pieces of music (Prelude and Forlane) from the suite Le Tombeau de
Couperin by Maurice Ravel (1875- 1937). A group of 8.5-month-old
infants was randomly assigned to one of four experiments conducted
on the Headturn Preference Procedure. The first three experiments
examined infants' preferences for the Prelude and the Forlane in
piano and orchestral timbres, and the fourth one aimed at infants'
long- term memory for complex music. For this experiment, thirty
infants were exposed to either the Prelude or the Forlane three
times a day for ten consecutive days. Two weeks following the
exposure, infants were tested on the HPP. Contrary to the belief
that infants are ill equipped to process complex music, this study
found that infants could discriminate, encode and recall the two
Ravel pieces for at least two weeks. Implications for early
childhood music education and for future studies are outlined at
the end of the book.
