Sequential Patterns of Instruction in Music

Louisiana State University

Harry E. Price

University of Alabama

The purpose of this study was to examine extant research in effective teaching and to determine the extent to which results were being applied in music teaching. Rehearsals (N = 79) were analyzed to determine time spent in and correct sequencing of presentation of task, student responses, and reinforcement. Results demonstrated that (a) time spent in presenting musical information and appropriate reinforcement was about one-fourth of total rehearsal time, (b) an almost equal amount of time was spent giving directions as compared to musical information, (c) almost half the rehearsal time was devoted to performance, and (d) experienced teachers were highly disapproving of student responses, whereas preparatory teachers were highly approving.
