Music literacy, a foundational discipline for cultivating musical abilities, aims to foster comprehensive musical skills in young children. This study employs scientifically validated methods to assess the musical aptitude of preschoolers, offering insights into their current musical capabilities. Conducted in a kindergarten in City X, China, the research investigates the music aptitude of 4-6-year-old children and explores patterns in music literacy development. Findings from tests conducted on 150 preschoolers reveal: 1. No significant disparity in music aptitude among preschoolers without prior professional music literacy training; 2. Markedly superior musical aptitude among children who have undergone music literacy training. Based on these results, the study recommends the timely introduction of music literacy education during the critical developmental phase of 4-6 years, which can substantially enhance children's musical abilities.
