Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if modeling conditions had a significant effect on the performance achievement of beginning string students. During phase I, guided aural and guided aural-visual modeling tapes of Applebaum's String Builder, Book 1, were produced for violin; a two-part Likert scale adjudication form was designed and tested; a pilot study was conducted; and companion guided aural and guided aural-visual modeling tapes were produced for viola, cello, and double bass. During phase II, the main study was conducted to test the null hypothesis: There is no significant difference in performance achievement as a result of practice conditions under three levels of experimentation--guided aural modeling, guided aural-visual modeling, and no modeling conditions. Twenty-three fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade beginning string subjects were administered Gordon's (1965) Music Aptitude Profile and Dunn, Dunn, and Price's (1988) Learning Style Inventory. Subjects were assigned randomly to one of three treatment groups and received instruction in a heterogeneous string class. After four weeks, the 10-week treatment period began; group I practiced with the guided aural model, group II with the guided aural-visual model, and group III without modeling conditions.
