The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of scalar or root classification systems, inductive or deductive content sequences, and kinetic or verbal coding processes on identifying harmonic functions. An aural identification test battery that consists of root position and root position/inversion subtests was designed by the investigator to serve as criterion measures. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the results of the study. Only the main effects for classification systems were found to be significant on the multivariate test. Separate univariate analyses indicated that the scalar classification groups obtained significantly higher mean scores on both criterion measures. Thus, a scalar classification system appears to be a more effective procedure for teaching the aural identification of harmonic functions
