Abstract
Given the importance of knowing the intellectual and musical skills in the youth of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, we set ourselves the objective to analyze the relationship between musical and intellectual abilities of Elementary School children. The participants were 932 students (488 girls and 444 boys) aged between ten and twelve. The instruments employed included the Battery of Differential and General attitudes (BADyG -E3) for the cognitive area and Seashore Test of Musical Ability to assess musical skills. The results show that musical skills of school children are located below the fiftieth percentile. Notably they stand out best at discriminating pace and duration. In conclusion, we note that there is a positive correlation of moderate intensity between the variables under study.
