Abstract: It was the purpose of this thesis to investigate the level of difficulty of aural skills required by the institutions of higher education in the state of North Carolina of music majors at the end of the freshman year and at the end of the sophomore year. In that students transferring from one institution to another have encountered difficulties in theory competencies, this study attempted to set forth the requirements of the participating institutions. Three hypotheses were proposed: (1) that there would be a significant difference in the level of difficulty required by the two-year institutions and by the four-year institutions; (2) that as the level of difficulty increased for notational responses to problems measuring specific aural skills, so would the level of difficulty in synthesizing these skills (in the context of polyphonic musical phrases); and (3) that there would be institutions requiring no aural skills. A questionnaire was constructed in the form of a test that might be administered to music students. The questionnaire was mailed to all of the colleges and universities in the state of North Carolina. The recipients were asked to indicate a response that would show the minimum level of requirement that they would have at the end of the and at the end of the sophomore year. Twenty-five responses received and constituted the sample for the study.
