The research instruments included Gordon’s “Primary Measures of Music Audiation” and ”The Survey of Mothers’ Musical Parenting Attitudes” which was designed by the researcher. Validity and reliability were tested through reliability analysis, t-test, factor analysis and correlation analysis.

In other word, children have equal opportunities to learn music even not every city was highly urbanized. (b) Children in different grades had significant differences in musical aptitudes, especial grade one to three. The musical aptitudes of the fourth grade children tended to be stabilized. (c) There was no significant difference in children’s gender, and it was possible due to the current parenting styles and accessible internet. (d) The finding showed there were significant differences in children’s sequence of birth. The musical aptitude of the youngest child was significant higher than the only child at home. According to the literature, the youngest child had better mothers’ parenting experiences, learning stimuli, and modeling, therefore mothers’ parenting attitudes and musical environment were equally important. (e) The children with musical learning experiences after school had significant higher musical aptitudes.
