  • Standardization of the Gordon Primary Measures of Music Audiation in Greece

    Open AccessLelouda Stamou, Charles P Schmidt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Music…2010Cited by: 1References: 1

    The purpose of this study was to standardize the Primary Measures of Music Audiation in Greece ( N = 1,188). Split-halves reliability was acceptable across grade levels (K through 3) for the Tonal and Rhythm subtests, but test—retest reliability was generally unacceptable, especially for the Rhythm subtest. Concurrent validity was mixed, with teacher ratings of musical achievement generally significantly correlated with Tonal but not Rhythm subte…

  • Music Mainstreaming: Practices in Arizona

    Open AccessJames Frisque, Loretta Niebur et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Music…1994References: 2

    This study examined mainstreaming in music via a survey of a sample of Arizona music educators. Among the respondents (n = 107), the vast majority are or have been responsible for teaching students with disabilities, although most have received little or no training in special education. Emotionally/behaviorally disordered students are perceived as the most difficult to mainstream, and physically handicapped and speech-impaired students the least…

  • Precursors of Musical Aptitude Testing: From the Greeks through the Work of Francis Galton

    Open AccessJere T HumphreysARTICLEJournal of Research in Music…1993Cited by: 2References: 7

    Carl E. Seashore's tests of musical aptitude, originally published in 1919, were a logical outgrowth of first, centuries of research and thinking on sensory discrimination and specification, and second, applications to psychological research of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. These two fields came together when English anthropologist Francis Galton (1822-1911) devised tests of sensory perception to test individual mental capacity in the 187…

  • Measurement, Prediction, and Training of Harmonic Audiation and Performance Skills

    Open AccessJere T HumphreysARTICLEJournal of Research in Music…1986Cited by: 1References: 2

    The main purposes of this study were to test music majors' abilities to harmonize notated melodies and recorded melodies with chord symbols, and to perform harmonic accompaniments to recorded melodies; measure the effectiveness of a harmonic audiation and performance training program; and measure the predictive power of eight independent variables on harmonic audiation and performance skills. Six subtests were administered in a pre-post design to…

  • The Child-Study Movement and Public School Music Education

    Open AccessJere T HumphreysARTICLEJournal of Research in Music…1985Cited by: 2References: 1

    The child-study movement was a late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century educational I fashion whose impetus came from the influences of Darwin's Origin of Species (1859) and from the advent of empirical psychology in the 1860s and 1870s. Child-study leaders sought to reform the public schools, calling for widespread and “scientific” observation and study of children. Music educators adopted some child-study principles, incorporating them in c…
