Computer-Based Recognition of Perceptual Patterns and Learning Styles in Rhythmic Dictation Exercises.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hofsteter, Fred T. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1981
Presents the results of a study in aural training that analyzed freshman music majors' responses to rhythmic dictation exercises in the GUIDO system. An analysis of the data showed perceptual patterns and learning styles common to exercises in both simple and common meters. (AM)

Effects of Visual-Spatial Added Cues on Fourth-Graders' Melodic Discrimination.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Forsythe, Jere L.; Kelly, Margaret M. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1989
Tests whether aural discrimination is significantly better when visual-spatial stimuli are paired with melodic phrases. Results suggest that the use of visual clues paired with melodies is generally an effective aid to aural discrimination among fourth-grade subjects. Recommends further research on the use of different visual stimuli. (LS)

The Aural Perception of Similarity in Nontraditional Chords Related by Octave Equivalence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gibson, Don B., Jr. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1988
Presents a study that investigated the significance of the octave-equivalence assumption, an essential assumption to the notion of "pitch class" and the analysis and pedagogy of all music in the Western tradition. Discusses development and organization of experimental items and describes the method of presentation. (GEA)

An Observation Procedure to Differentiate Teaching Experience and Expertise in Music Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Standley, Jayne M.; Madsen, Clifford K. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1991
Presents results of a study in which music teachers and students with varying levels of experience and expertise evaluated musical performances. Finds differences in subjects with high levels of expertise are a result of more than experience. Concludes that developing an accurate measure for expertise would aid in obtaining the best role models as…

Relationships between Grades in the Components of Freshman Music Theory and Selected Background Variables.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Harrison, Carole S. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1990
Determines how academic ability, music experience, and musical aptitude contribute to grade prediction in the written-work, ear-training, sight-singing, and keyboard-harmonics portions of two college freshman music theory courses. Finds Scholastic Aptitude Test mathematics scores the best predictor of grades in written work and ear training.…
