development and growth.
• The quality of all children's lives is positively affected by
the early interaction.
• Music aids all champs bonds emotionally and intelligibly
with other with creative expressions in songs, rhythmic
movements and listening experiences.
• Future music learning is built upon the early music learning
foundation.

CONT…
• In correlation design the scholar explores the relationship
between variables with taking the helps of statistical analysis.
• Quasi experimental design seeks to establish the cause and
effect relationship between two or more variables while in
experimental design use the scientific method to establish
cause-effect relationship among a group of variables in a
research study.

Role of music in child development
• As per the view of author investigated that how music plays an important role in
development of child.
• Author has gone for the two different studies for observing development of brain.
• The group of children's has been taken in the study one who were provided with the
music lessons and other group of children where no music lessons were provided.
• After the study scholar has observed differences obtained through MRI scans of
children of both group.
• In his study Finney, J., (2016) has found that the group of children who were stick with
music lessons have exceptional talents and achievements as comparing with others.

How does listening music impacts the
development
• According to Hallam and Council, (2015) musically imposed
young children could recognize the sources of various sounds
from instruments in different families as well as different
instruments within an instrumental family.
• Koops, (2014) in its research asked 108 children of 5-7 years

• It also develops the physical skills as there are some instruments percussion
assists development of champs by coordination and motor skills , they need
the movement of the hands , arms and feet's (Council, 2015) .

Methods of research
Research methods are of three types that are qualitative , quantitative or mixed
methods.
Qualitative methods- It is a scientific method of observation to gather non
numerical data . It includes the investigation that
• desire reply to a question
• consistently uses a specify set of operations to reply the question
• collects information
• produces aggregation that were not discovered in advance
• produces findings that are relevant on the far side to immediate edge of the study

CONT…
Quantitative methods
Quantitative research is the systematic empirical investigation of observation with
the help of statistical data. The data driven by quantitative research is always
numerical because they are obtained with the helps of mathematical or statistical
information. Its methods includes quantitative which involves descriptive and quasi
experimental , correlation design, experimental design etc.
• Descriptive design is a method of design provides a current status of variable
phenomenon.
• In correlation design the scholar explores the relationship between variables with
taking the helps of statistical analysis (Koops, 2014).

CONT…
Mix methods of research
• This is also known an multi methodology. It is a methodology for
conducting research that includes analysing, collecting and integrating
qualitative and quantitative research techniques.
• The present study is based on quantitative research as it provides
various methods and it seems to be more reliable objective.
•As it provides the statistical data which helps in identifying the relevant
outcomes of the topic.

Rationale for the selected approach
• Research approaches of two types deductive research approach and inductive
research approach.
• Deductive reasoning works from more general to more specific sometimes is
also called top bottom approach.
• While inductive reasoning moves from specific observation to generalization
and the theories.
• The report has taken the inductive research because it is flexible as the
investigator doesn't have to follow any standard or set information (Slater and
et.al., 2015).
• Therefore, researcher would end up in correct conclusion.

Research question and hypothesis
Research questions
What is the role of music in the development of child ?
What are the benefits of music for children in early stages ?
How does listening music impacts the development ?
Hypothesis
H0 = Music will direct provide the impact of early childhood.
H1= Music will not provide the direct impact of early childhood.

Description of the variables (independent,
dependent, mediating, etc.)
In the present study of the impact of early
childhood music education the music is
the independent variables and child is the
dependent variable .

Description of the population under study
• The researcher has taken teachers for the study
on the impact of early childhood music
education.
• According to the investigator this will help him
to identify appropriate outcome of the research.

Description of how the researcher will
identify and recruit a sample
• The investigator will take the purposive sampling
for the recruitment of sample. It is techniques on
to which scholars relies on their own judgement.
• In this method researcher believe that they could
be the representative sample by using sound
judgement.

Description of any necessary permissions to
access and recruit the population or data
sources under study
• While doing research on the impact of
early childhood music education the
researcher has taken the permissions
from the parents of children (Finney,
2016).
• They also have to take permission from
the child care boards and individual
authorities.

Data collection tools (survey, artifacts,
interviews, etc.)
• Data collection technique in present report is
artifacts. In which they have observed in a scientific
investigation or experiment (Waite, ed., 2017).
• This helps them to identify the appropriate
outcomes for their research on the impact of early
childhood music education.

Ethical Consideration
• Ethical consideration is the most significant
factor that connects research to most effective
process.
• Ethical consideration can be specified as one
of the most important part of the research.
• It helps to minimize the uncertainty or
possibilities in the research.

Data analysis
• Data analysis is a process of inspecting, cleaning
and transforming the all collected data for further
steps, this helps to meet out the goals of a study
(Sala and Gobet, 2017).
• Data analysis encompasses different facets,
approaches and techniques to underpin the accurate
knowledge or methods.

Detailed Timeline of the study
• This present study has been started from started
on a particular manner.
• Study has been started from planning phase and
further followed by research aims, questions and
identify the research problem statement and
significance of study.

Providing graphical organizing outline
and timeline
• In this step researcher will present the all task
checklist and ensure to the members whether it has
been finished or not.
