Resumen

Existe creciente evidencia en la literatura que reconoce la relación entre aptitud musical y competencia lingüística. La lengua se suele segmentar en sus subcategorías cuando se aborda en los estudios, mientras que la música, no. Debido a esto, no está claro si la competencia lingüística se relaciona con todos los componentes musicales (tono, ritmo, etc.) del mismo modo. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la aptitud musical y la pronunciación receptiva extranjera, en este caso, en inglés. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio de campo en el que han participado 69 estudiantes españoles de 2º de Primaria de un colegio público bilingüe, de 7 a 8 años de edad (34 niños y 35 niñas). Se administraron dos pruebas para medir su aptitud musical y su capacidad de discriminar fonemas. La prueba musical constaba de seis ejercicios que evaluaban las distintas subdestrezas de la aptitud musical (tono, amplitud, duración, ritmo, timbre y percepción de velocidad). Por otro lado, la prueba de pronunciación se basaba en la discriminación de fonemas.  Los resultados muestran una correlación positiva entre la aptitud musical y la identificación de sonidos en lengua extranjera.
