Produktbeschreibung
As a Jazz musician and professional educator, I was
always intrigued by the notion that musical
activities, particularly as they related to the
practice of a musical instrument, could play a role
in the cognitive development of skills that
facilitated academic learning. While qualitative
literature was abundant on the subject and
significant works had been set forth indicating that
a relationship existed between the performance
aspect of a musical instrument and the cognitive
development of academic skills, quantitative data
was scarce. As such, I endeavored to study and
measure the effects of school band experiences on
the motivation of high school students. The research
was conducted at Irvine High School in Irvine,
California on the effects of school band experience
on the motivation of high school students and it
began to yield some information that we were able to
measure quantitatively as the data revealed
startling seemingly contradictory perspectives. The
mixed research method used in this research project
allowed us to gather,quantify, assess and
analyze a data that yielded unexpected and revealing
insights.
