Harrison, Carole S.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v38 n2 p124-37 Sum 1990
Analyzed the relative contributions of academic ability, music experience, and musical aptitude to predicting grades in college freshman music theory courses. Found that the best predictor of grades was the mathematics component of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Data analysis revealed five factors that accounted for 78.6 percent of the variance in the original variables. (DB)
