A study of students from competitive and noncompetitive Florida high school bands using an adaptation of the Academic Motivation Scale and the Sport Competition Anxiety Test
Description:
The Band Activity Inventory (BAI), a musical adaptation of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT), was administered to 345 high school band students in four bands. Two pairs of competitive and... Using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), it was determined that the competitive band brass players experienced significantly higher (alpha =.05) competitive trait anxiety (competitive A-trait) than their noncompetitive... The evidence suggests that competitive band brass players--part of organizations that attend a significant number of marching contests--display a significant tendency for competitive anxiety and low intrinsic motivation, perhaps the...
The effects of aural, visual, and motoric cues on accuracy and latency of tempo modulation discrimination among musicians and nonmusicians
Description:
This study investigated the effects of aural, visual, and motoric cues on tempo modulation discrimination among musicians and nonmusicians. While listening to music during these three conditions, subjects manipulated a Continuous... Music experience was a determining factor in differential response to tempo modulation discrimination among subjects. Musicians more accurately detected tempo changes than nonmusicians. Musicians were better at detecting tempo... The data suggest the ability to internalize steady beat such that discriminatory comparisons of external aural stimuli may be made is perhaps developmental. Data indicate nonmusicians benefit from receiving tempo information through... These findings may be equally important for conductors of experienced musicians. Musicians demonstrated greater accuracy while listening only and may have perceived conflicting information when watching a conductor. Perhaps musicians...
