No research literature specifically describing a scale designed to measure educators’ musical skills at the ECE level has been previously published. In view of this lack, we carried out the customary procedures for designing and validating a psychological measurement scale: on the basis of a sample of university students (n = 209), we created a valid, reliable tool that allows researchers to evaluate and quantify how teacher trainees perceive their own musical skills. By applying EFA, Parallel Analysis, and CFA, we observed the emergence of four differentiated categories distributed along 25 items in the questionnaire''s final version. To improve and refine this tool, further research and study replication in a series of different educational contexts would be required. © 2021 The Author(s) 000118162 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000118162 592__ $$a0.818$$b2021 000118162 590__ $$a2.704$$b2021 000118162 593__ $$aEducation$$c2021$$dQ1 000118162 591__ $$aPSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL$$b27 / 60 = 0.45$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000118162 594__ $$a3.9$$b2021 000118162 591__ $$aEDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH$$b109 / 270 = 0.404$$c2021$$dQ2$$eT2 000118162 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000118162 700__ $$aGarcía Gil D. 000118162 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8263-3447$$aCasanova O.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118162 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-6492-2248$$aOrejudo S.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118162 7102_ $$13001$$2189$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
