- Summary:
-
For nine years the National Assessment of Education Progress has attempted to measure behaviors that are assumed to correlate with sensitivity to music and analytic skills typically taught in the classroom. These skills included musical performance, ability to use traditional notation, ability to discriminate and label instruments and voices, ability to recognize important aspects of music history and literature, and the disposition to listen to music and participate in musical activities. Eighty thousand individuals in four age groups were tested. Results indicate that performance, knowledge of notation and terminology, and knowledge of music history and literature rank the lowest. Knowledge of the names and sounds of musical instruments and general attitude towards music rank the highest. The general pattern is that people are involved at the simplest levels with the activity of music, while more specialized knowledge is lacking. (Author/DE) Primary type of information provided by report: Results (Overview).
