The musical intelligence of children at Raudhatul Athfal Arafah Padang has not developed well, because of the low musical understanding of children in recognizing tempo, it can be seen when children are singing that many do not match the beats played by the teacher with a tambourine musical instrument or when clapping. The limited facilities and infrastructure for playing music for children have resulted in no opportunity for children to develop music playing activities at school. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quaishi experimental design, the data collection technique in this study is an action test on students.
