Effect of Color-Coded Notation on Music Achievement of Elementary Instrumental Students.
Rogers, George L.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v39 n1 p64-73 Spr 1991
Presents results of a study of color-coded notation to teach music reading to instrumental students. Finds no clear evidence that color-coded notation enhances achievement on performing by memory, sight-reading, or note naming. Suggests that some students depended on the color-coding and were unable to read uncolored notation well. (DK)
