Just wanted to tell you that when my kid was 18 months old she participated in a study at Carnegie Mellon University about this exact topic. They played some “happy” and “sad” music to babies, toddlers, and kids to attempt to learn at what age the children could distinguish between the different moods of music.

I haven’t heard the results of the study but you could Google thaw university and your question to see!
