Content:
At the 2nd GCOE International Workshop, we invited Dr. Sandra E. Trehub, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto. She is working on how infants can detect and learn music. She talked about research method on infants' perception and their ability to learn about music. Her research showed that infants could detect and learn pitch and timing of music as well as adults could. Especially, infants could performed better than adults in learning of lullabies sang in different languages. Moreover, her results indicated that there might be cultural differences in infants' perceptual skills on simple and complex rhythm.
