T PRESENT, the only criterion for the evaluation of achievement of high school music performance groups seems to be music performance for its own sake. It would appear, on the basis of recent thinking by prominent music educators, that an evaluation of music learnings and music understandings achieved through performance by high school students would necessarily be considered in the assessment of the high school performance program. The Fluke Test in Music Perception for High School Performance Groups represents an attempt to create an instrument that would measure the extent to which students in high school performance groups had obtained some of the tools necessary for an understanding and appreciation of music. The test was designed to measure musical perception of certain aspects of several of the constituent elements of music in a concert situation where the listener would hear the music as a whole, i.e., with all the elements of the particular number or passage heard at the same time
