An Investigation of Reinforcements, Time Use, and Student Attentiveness in Piano Lessons.
Kostka, Marilyn J.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v32 n2 p113-22 Sum 1984
Elementary, secondary, and adult students taking private piano lessons were on task for at least 85 percent of the lesson time. Teachers gave frequent reinforcement for academic behavior. While approval/disapproval ratios were not as high as the recommended 80 percent approvals, no evidence of effects on student attentiveness was apparent. (RM)
