Abstract: The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether a significant difference in attitudes toward musical activities existed among high school students in selected bands with directors using varying teaching emphases. The teaching emphases investigated were (1) contest or competition emphasis, (2) marching band emphasis, (3) emphasis on teaching basic musical skills, and (4) equal emphasis on marching and concert band activities. A secondary objective was to determine whether significant differences in attitudes toward musical activities existed among high school students in selected bands with directors differing in age, years of teaching experience, and musical preference. The subjects were 1,243 high school band students from 21 randomly selected schools of North Carolina.
