Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The purpose of this study was to document the use of SmartMusic Interactive Practice Software and its effect on practice habits and motivation. The 12-week study measured participant practice time using paper practice charts and the online grade book/practice chart in SmartMusic Interactive Practice software. In addition, an 11-question Likert survey was administered pre and poststudy to measure students’ reactions and motivations to practice. Participants (N=38) were randomly assigned to either the SmartMusic group (SM, n=19) or the Contact Control group (CC, n =19). Data from an Independent Samples t test measuring group practice time indicate a significant difference between the mean scores of SM and the CC. Likert survey data were measured using a Wilcoxon Signed rank test and a 2-sample t test and indicate no significant difference in z scores or mean scores, respectively.</p>
