The subject of this empirical study is the development of musical preferences during the elementary school years. A total of 591 children (300 m, 291 f) between the ages of 5 and 13 evaluated their likes or dislikes of eight short excerpts of music (approx. 80 sec.) of different styles (classical music, pop music, 20 th century art music and ethnic music). The results show highly significant (p = .000, Kruskal-Wallis) age-related changes in preferences regarding all types of music. Pop music received the most positive ratings. The younger the children, the more positive were the ratings for classical, avantgarde and ethnic music. With increasing age, ratings for these types of music dramatically changed into negative. There are also significant differences between boys and girls. The results suggest that especially the first years of elementary school as well as the preschool years are important time windows to provide manifold musical experiences, including a wide range of musical styles.
