Computer -Assisted Music Instruction as Supplemental Sight -Singing Instruction in the High School Choir

Pretests and posttests were scored by three judges, all veteran choral music educators. Members of the CTG demonstrated a mean gain of 11.52 points from pretest to posttest while members of the TTG recorded a mean gain of 1.65 points. Paired t-tests revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest in the CTG with a t-value of -3.92. The TTG demonstrated a difference oft value of -1.88, not significant. Independent t-tests were not computed because at least one of the TTG subgroups was empty (0.00). The gains made by the CTG are both statistically and practically significant, and offers CAMI as a viable supplement to traditional sight-singing instruction.
