Read a following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 1 to 11. MUSICAL TALENT
Among all the abilities with which an individual may be endowed, musical talent appears earliest in life. Very young
children can exhibit musical precocity for different reasons. Some develop exceptional skill as a result of a well - designed
instructional regime, such as the Suzuki method for the violin. Some have a good fortune to be born into musical family in a
household filled with music. In a number of interesting cases, musical talent is part of an otherwise disabling condition such
as autism or mental retardation. A musically gifted child has an inborn talent, however, the extent to which the talent is
expressed publicly will depend upon the environment in which the child lives.
Musically gifted children master at an early age the principal elements of music, including pitch and rhythm. Pitch - or
melody - is more central cultures, for example, in Eastern societies that make use of tiny quarter - tone interval. Rhythm,
sounds produced at certain auditory frequencies and grouped according to a prescribed system, is emphasized in sub Saharan
Africa, where the rhythmic ratios can be very complex
All children have some aptitude for making music. During infancy, normal children sing as well as babble, and they can
produce individual sounds and sounds pattern. Infants as young as two months can match their mother's songs in pitch,
loudness, and melodic shape, and infants at four months can match rhythmic structure as well. Infants are especially
predisposed to acquire these core aspects of music, and they can also engage in sound play that clearly exhibits creativity.
Individual differences begin to merge in young children as they learn to sing. Some children can match segments of a song by
the age of two or three. Many others can only approximate pitch at this age and may still have difficulty in producing accurate
melodies by the age of five or six. However, by the time they reach school age, most children in any culture have a schema of
what a song should be like ang can produce a reasonably accurate imitation of the songs commonly heard in their environment.
The early appearance of superior musical ability in some children providence that musical talent may be separate and
unique form of intelligence. There are numerous tales of young artist who have a remarkable "ear" or extraordinary memory
for music and a natural understanding of musical structure. In many of these cases, the child is average in every other way but
displays an exceptional ability in music. Even the most gifted child, however, takes about ten years to achieve the levels of
performance or composition that would constitute mastery of the musical sphere.
Every generation in music history has its famous prodigies - individuals with exceptional musical powers that emerge at
a young age. In the eighteenth century, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began composing and performing at the age of six. As a
child, Mozart could play piano like an adult. He had perfect pitch, and at the age of nine he was also a master of the art of
modulation - transition from one key to another - which became one of the hallmarks of his style. By the age of eleven, he had
composed three symphonies and 30 other major works. Mozart's well - developed talent was preserved into adulthood.
Unusual musical ability is a regular characteristic of certain anomalies such as autism. In one case, an autistic girl was able to
"Happy Birthday" in the style of various composer, including Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, and Schubert. When the girl was
three, her mother called her by playing incomplete melodies, which the child would complete with the appropriate tone in the
proper octave. For the autistic child, music may be the primary mode of communication, and the child may cling to music
because it represents as a haven as a world that is largely confusing and frightening.
