Purpose of this study was to determine if children in the first grade could discriminate whether two paired chords were the same or different, could learn to associate a tone with a chord in four brief training sessions, and could improve more in harmonic discrimination when performing chords in the training sessions than when merely listening to…

Purpose of this study was to investigate how music supervisors spend their time. (Author)

An investigation to determine what essential role characteristics lead to successful music programs. (CB)

Results of the study indicate that college nonmusic majors of the Southern United States have musical aptitude somewhat greater than that of high school students in general and lesser than that of midwestern college music majors. (Author)

An annual annotated listing of research summaries, journal-published reports, and dissertation abstracts published in the United States which pertain to mathematics education and which have some implication either for school mathematics programs or for instruction. (DT)

A concrete and a symbolic approach to learning multiplication in the second grade are studied. The results, indicating that children using the symbolic model performed at a higher level than those using a concrete model, are discussed. (DT)

The existence of inductive and deductive learning styles and their effect on mathematics achievement were investigated. No significant difference in achievement was found between students identified as having inductive or deductive learning styles, on materials which were classified as inductive or deductive learning programs. (DT)

Creation of materials for a geometry course using transformations is briefly summarized, then research on its effect upon student learning of geometry concepts and student attitudes towards mathematics is discussed. Implementation and other related questions are considered informally. (DT)

The degree to which second and third grade children learn transformational geometry concepts under specific instructional conditions and the effects of transformational geometry instruction upon the children's spatial abilities are studied. Results imply that the students learned aspects of transformational geometry but that their spatial…

The progress during the 20's and early 30's in school instrumental music might have taken longer to accomplish had there been no contests, or had they been less competitive. (Author/MB)

Vocal pitch acuity on ascending intervals is highly superior to acuity on the same descending intervals. (Author)

Article reviews the development of music activities in kindergarten. (MB)

It was hypothesized that individuals who can easily detect differences in the timbre of tone would be more likely to appreciate musical instruments with more complex sound waves, and that the degree of this tendency would be directly proportional to the length of time one has played the instrument.

Both music and nonmusic major college students rated technical and musical characteristics of a recorded piano performance lower when told the performance was by a student than they did when told it was by a professional. (Author)
