    Abstract: The perception of music requires focus on what is happening here and now. When working with children with developmental issues, it is important to modulate stimuli, so they are strong enough to attract and sustain their attention, despite any limitations. In musical activities, the children follow and respond to the musical movement that occurs within various changes in pitch, melody, intensity, rhythm, timbre, etc. Through these changes, it is possible to regulate the level of attention span. Different musical activities can be implemented into various educational and intervention strategies according to the children’s interests as well as their specific needs. The aim of this paper is to present music as an attractive and effective medium to improve children’s attention.

    Keywords: Attention. Attention training. Musical components. Musical activities. Early intervention.
