Abstract: Identification of the Problem. Beginning wind instrument students often learn to play their instruments in large, mixed-instrument classes in which the teacher does not demonstrate on each student's instrument, or perhaps on any instrument. Thus, many students learn to play without hearing how their instrument should sound. In the absence of live demonstrations, aural models recorded on tape provide one way of supplying students with models. Research has indicated that aural models are effective when used by individuals. However, there is little evidence available to indicate whether aural models presented in group listening sessions are effective.
