Item Beginning band instrument selection preferences and performance scores over time(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2019) Quinones, Joseph Ramon; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Kristin Harney; Nick Lux (co-chair)This quantitative study examines the process of guiding students in beginning band instrument selection at Monforton Middle School, in Bozeman, MT. Data from 46 students was collected to identify if correlations exist between students initial instrument tone production and preference ratings and the students' performance throughout the first 15 months of playing the instrument they selected. Data for this study was collected through instrument tryout forms prior to students selecting and instrument and playing assessment rubrics for each of the 12 playing assessments, all of which were requirements of beginning band class. While data did not suggest that stronger initial tone production and preference ratings correlated with higher scores on playing assessments, there is evidence to suggest the overall instrument selection process was beneficial in guiding students to select an instrument that is well suited to them, as students, on average, scored 82% on their playing assessments. Further research to better prove the effectiveness would likely require a control group of students not receiving guidance in the instrument selection process; this would likely not be possible because student education would be inhibited through the lack of guidance.Item Goals and procedures for establishing a Music Education Resource Center(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1977) Donahue, Barry JohnItem A survey of music in the Alberta schools(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1966) DoBush, JackItem A comparison of the judgments of Montana music education in public schools and colleges regarding how much music performance should be in music teacher preparation(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1978) Rattin, Kathleen LouiseItem Difference in achievement scores between groups of students taught music fundamentals by traditional methods and groups taught by programmed methods(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1966) Martinec, Larry SteveItem The construction of an administrator's guide to the instrumental music program in the public schools(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1963) Bronson, Percy J.Item Diagnosis and correction of certain difficulties of non-singers(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1959) Guthrie, HaroldItem Determining components of effective instructions in beginning and intermediate instrumental music by the use of tests and the teaching of music materials(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1957) Schlatter, Richard H.Item An experiment with music composition as a supplement for junior high school general music(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1967) Rate, Richard T.Item Suggesting a course of study in music for kindergartens(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1957) Fuller, Dorothy
