Journal of Research in Music Education, v35 n3 p171-81 Fall 1987

This study investigated the relationship of tonal pattern to tonal concept development and performance achievement of beginning instrumentalists. Tonal concept development was compared with technical skill development. Results indicate that tonal concept development improved the melodic sight-reading skills more successfully than the traditional method of technical skill development. (BSR)
