Abstract

THE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE of this study was to devise a means of conserving the classroom time of the instrumental music teacher. The author was interested in determining whether or not certain aspects of beginning clarinet playing could be taught on teaching machines just as effectively as they could be taught by the teacher in the normal class method of instruction. A teaching machine program was developed to teach beginning clarinet students clarinet fingerings and such factual knowledge as the names of the parts of the clarinet, the names of the various clarinet keys, and the names of the different ranges of the clarinet. The completed teaching machine program was used in conducting a controlled experiment with beginning clarinet students.
