Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify in the specialized literature evaluation tests of musical ability, the concept that supports it and the elements that compose it. Methodology: An exploratory, non-experimental, systematized bibliographic review is carried out. Descriptors are obtained from Eric Thesaurus, searching databases such as academic google, Dialnet, EbscoHost, Scopus and Scielo. Results: There are 9 measuring instruments that evaluate children’s musical skills from different points of view, the trend is focused on measuring musical concepts that are developed according to the age of the children evaluated. Discussion: It is necessary that the process of identifying musical abilities be carried out as early as possible, however, only one of the tests found is designed for preschool ages. There are authors who promote designing and applying evaluations that consider internal factors of the test and the cultural context where it will be applied. Conclusion: There are evaluation tests for musical ability, however, the concepts on which each of them is based and the elements considered vary according to the authors.
