    El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el nivel de desarrollo de la habilidad musical de un grupo de estudiantes de música utilizando los métodos Orff y Kodaly en comparación con la enseñanza basada en el currículum musical convencional. Para analizar el nivel de aptitud musical antes y después del experimento (pruebas pre-test y post-test) se recurrió al sistema PMMA (medidas primarias de audición musical). Los resultados de la prueba t no revelaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los resultados previos (pre-test) y los posteriores (post-test) al experimento en ninguno de los dos grupos. En el grupo experimental, el porcentaje de alumnos con aptitudes musicales de nivel alto en el post-test se incrementó en un 5.1% (p = .047). Los resultados del estudio indicaron que el aprendizaje basado en los métodos Orff y Kodaly contribuye al desarrollo del ritmo. En el grupo experimental, la diferencia entre los indicadores previos (pre-test) y los posteriores (post-test) revela una tendencia positiva y estadísticamente significativa (p = .041). Los resultados también confirman la relevancia del desarrollo de las habilidades musicales en el programa de educación musical.

    The purpose of the study is to examine the level of the development of musical abilities of children studying music based on the ideas of Orff and Kodaly compared to a standard curriculum. In order to examine the level of musical ability before and after the experiment, the Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA) method was used. Based on the t-test, it was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-test results of the groups. In the experimental group, the percentage of children with a high level of musical ability in the post-test increased by 5.1% (p = .047). As a result of the study, it was determined that learning based on the Orff and Kodaly methods contributes to the development of rhythm. The difference between the pre- and post-test indicators in the experimental group has a positive trend and is statistically significant (p = .041). The results have also confirmed the importance of developing musical abilities within the music education programme.
