Abstract
Music@Home was developed in the United Kingdom as a systematic instrument for the assessment of informal musical interactions in the home environments of children under the age of 5. It has been successfully adapted and validated in German, and widely used in research with typically developing children, children with neurodevelopmental disabilities, and adults reporting their early music exposure retrospectively. In the present study, we adapted and conducted a preliminary validation of the Music@Home Infant and Preschool questionnaires for a Greek-speaking population. A total of 238 Greek-speaking primary caregivers completed either version, along with measures of cognitive stimulation at home and child language and communication development. Both Greek questionnaires demonstrated acceptable to good confirmatory fit, strong internal reliability, and evidence for divergent validity, with test-retest reliability established for the Preschool version, indicating that musical engagement represents a distinct aspect of the home environment rather than general cognitive stimulation. Exploratory analyses revealed modest positive associations between Infant scores and parent-reported language outcomes, consistent with previous research linking early musical experiences and language development. These findings provide initial evidence that the Greek Music@Home is a psychometrically sound tool for assessing the home musical environment in Greek-speaking populations and highlight the value of cross-cultural adaptations for research on music cognition, language, and broader developmental outcomes.
