Abstract
Musical activities promote many aspects of child development. In particular musical activities offer opportunities to engage young CI users in listening. Musical pitch is poorly transmitted through CI's indicating the need for music to be presented in a sequential and logical way. A music training programme was implemented at a rehabilitation centre in Turkey and 25 young CI users' progress through the programme was monitored. Children's performance on musical activities improved overtime with training. Necessary adaptations were made to the programme before publishing MusicalEars®. MusicalEars® with detailed information and video clips should make inclusion of musical activities into habilitation programmes easier for non-specialist teachers.
