Main Article Content

Abstract

Rhythmic skills and linguistic development are strongly connected and already evident in preschool age for children between 4 and 6 years old. The rhythm organizes events and plays a fundamental role in music, phonology and prosody of language. Verbal language and music are based on: inflections, intonations, time, rhythm and melody. Children with linguistic difficulties have a wrong perception of the rhythmic structure but on the other hand the children who don’t present linguistic difficulties they present a high degree of correlation between phonological awareness and rhythmic abilities, connection highlighted by specific rhythmic tests.
