CHIMES length of FA in classroom 3 varied from the full study as seen in Figure 8.
Level 1 preschoolers in Classroom 3 length of FA in the pretest (M= 274.50) was longer with
music (M= 297.50) and then had a shorter length of FA without music (M= 263.00). Level 2
children length of FA during the pretest (M= 171.50) was less with music (M= 106.50) and had
a slight increase in length of FA without music (M= 112.50). Finally, the Level 3 children
during the pretest (M= 214.33) had less FA with the music (M= 200.67) and shorter length of
FA during the posttest (M= 188.33). Classroom 3 children did not respond in the same manner
as the full-study children. However, without statistical significance it is difficult to determine if
the change in FA length is due to the preschool musical experience.

The number of FA episodes and CHIMES graph in classroom 3 differed from the full
study results. An increase of the number of FA episodes from Level 1 pretests (M= 1.00) with
the music (M= 1.50) and remained the same without music (M= 1.50). Level 2 maintained the
same number of FA episodes from pretest (M= 2.00) with music (M= 2.00) and with no music
(M= 2.00). Finally, Level 3 preschoolers increased in the number of episodes FA from the57
