musical development as a basis for interpretation of evaluation scale in music

Abstract

Musical development, in general, follows a typical and observable pattern and, in music, the evaluation scales help in pointing out the current state of development of the student/patient treated, including musical development. In this sense, the present work, of the Narrative Review type, aimed to verify the possible interfaces between musical development and the interpretation of evaluation scales in music. To this end, the authors condensed the milestones of musical development informed by the studies by Kenney (2008), Parizzi (2009) and Monteiro (2011) and reflected on the applicability of knowledge of such milestones combined with the correct understanding of evaluation scales in music.
