This study aimed to evaluate the memory of children running musical activities. The subjects were 32children, ranging from 7-1 2 year; 1 6 had music lessons (Experimental Condition, M = 9.81 , SD = 0.84)and the other 1 6 had not (control condition, M = 9.63; SD = 1 ,82). We used Pictorial Test of Memory(TEPIC-M) and a social-demographic questionnaire. Descriptive analyzes and t-Student test forindependent samples were applied. Experimental condition presented higher mean rate (M = 11 .63, SD =3.07) compared to control condition (M = 8, SD = 3.58), yielding a statistically significant differencebetween groups (t(22) = 3.07, p<0.05). Thus, it is suggested that musical performance can improve shorttermmemory
