Effects of development and implementation of an interactive multimedia computer program on the achievement and attitude of 44 sixth-grade saxophonists were investigated. For 3 weeks, the control group (n = 24) participated in band while students in the experimental group (n = 20) individually worked on the computer program during 8-15 minutes of their daily band class. Following treatment, students and band directors (n = 4) completed attitude surveys. Additionally, students completed written cognitive and videotaped performance assessments subsequently analyzed by two independent judges. Findings indicated that (a) band directors believed that they had covered assessed material in class; (b) experimental students demonstrated significantly higher levels (p < . 001) of perceived knowledge and performed significantly better (p < . 001) than did control students on written and videotaped assessments; and (c) students and directors indicated acceptance of the computer program. Data suggest that proper development and application of educational multimedia computer programs may benefit instrumental education
