Abstract
Singing, or the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, is celebrated in every culture around the world. From the earliest point in infancy, humans have some knowledge of musical sounds, broadly defined—evidence for knowledge of musical attributes has been observed even in newborn infants (Winkler et al., 2009). Sensitivities to pitch, key, and harmony are known to emerge from infancy to childhood (Olsho et al., 1982; Trainor and Trehub, 1994) and have been reported in many other cultures (Castellano et al., 1984; Krumhansl et al., 2000; Trehub et al., 2008). Because of its prevalence among humans, the ability to make music has been posited as an innate human ability (Peretz, 2006).
