This type of research is quantitative research. The research method uses a quantitative approach in the form of experimental quasi. The method used in collecting data is a test with early childhood research subjects. The instrument used in collecting data is the test question sheet. The technique used in analyzing data is inferential statistical analysis (t-test). The results of the study werethat children in the experimental class who used percussion bottles filled with water had a higher average score when compared to children in the control class who used applause.
