It has used five schematics faces that are representative of emotions (happy, angry, fear, sad and scare) as a non-verbal instrument of judgment of fourteen segments of popular musics of differents styles. The sample was formed of 82 participants. Each child must appoint the face correspondent to the emotion felt transmitted by each music listened.
