ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The writer is grateful for the assistance received from many persons in
the designing, development, and the completion of this study. The Iowa
Testing Programs under the auspices of the College of Education of The
University of Iowa generously provided research grants. The National
Associatofi oBann d Instrument Manufacturers made a gift of many mu-
sical instruments to The University of Iowa. Members of the Research
Committee of the College of Education and individuals associated with
the Measurement Research Center have unselfishly given time and ad-
vice. And, of course, without the important services and cooperation of
the school music teachers and their administrators, the study would not
have been completed.
Above all, the writer is most grateful to two persons for their invaluable
guidance and assistance—Professor Paul J. Blommers and Dr. James Neilson.
