The paper presents the content and results of a 6-week intervention program of musical-movement education, which was designed to stimulate selected components of musical-movement abilities (rhythmic perception, rhythmic adaptability, dynamic balance, movement creativity and sensory-auditory ability) in girls on elementary schools. The program has been verified at two schools in Prague and 56 probands between 13-16 years has been included. Measuring the effectiveness of the musical-movement program was done through musical-movement skills tests. The evaluation of the current level of musical-movement abilities was realized twice before and after of the intervention. Based on the results of the normality test, the nonparametric Wilcoxon Pair Statistical Test was used. The research showed statistically significant differences in the results of the pretest and posttest. Statistically significant differences in pretest and posttest were found in rhythmic perception (p-value 0.0003), rhythmic adaptability (p-value 0.0129), dynamic balance (p-value 0.0020), and collective motion creativity (p-value 0.000). P-values of the Wilcoxon test are smaller than the chosen significance level of 0.05 for the variables mentioned. The secondary aim was to examine teacher influences on the results of level of musical-musical components. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test and the parametric two-t-test showed the independence of improving the musical-movement ability of the probands by the teacher.
