Primary Measures of Music Audiation

Why test your students? This innovative kit will help you identify gifted students who may not be involved in your music program yet. It will also help you adapt your instruction to the individual differences in your students. There are two tests, both of similar design; the primary test is for grades K-3, and the intermediate test is for older children, or for younger children who find the primary test too simple. No reading or music skills are required, and the administration time is at most two 20-minute periods. Children listen to a tonal and a rhythm quiz on the CD. Questions on the CD are identified on the answer sheet by pictures. Sheets can be corrected quickly by using scoring masks, and raw scores are directly converted to percentile ranks in the manual. A profile card is used for each child for individual documentation and the interpretation of scores, and tonal and rhythm results are graphically compared for each child. The manual gives complete information on administering, scoring, and interpreting results, as well as suggesting ideas for music instruction. Each complete kit includes 100 rhythm answer sheets, 100 tonal answer sheets, a CD with tonal and rhythm tests, introduction to testing booklet and two research monographs, one set of scoring masks, manual, 100 student profile cards, and four class record sheets.
