Show moreStatement of the Problem. This study was designed in response to a documented decline in music skills for the purpose of identifying, rating and analyzing proposed competencies to be possessed by a high school student following four years choral membership. Procedures. Randomly selected current or former choral instructors, high school choral students, and post-high school choir members rated a set of eight general and 68 associated sub-competencies according to their perceived importance for high school choral students. A forced-rank order rating system yielded rank order values for each general and sub-competency. Results. Answers were sought for the following questions: (1) Did the data obtained from the rating procedure concerning the general competencies lend themselves to a statistical rank order of relative importance? Results: Median values for the general and sub-competencies were extracted from the one-way frequency distribution. Arranging these values in order from smallest to largest achieved an average rank ordering of the data. (2) Do the groups differ when all general competencies are considered simultaneously? Results: Multivariate analysis of the rank order of competencies indicated differences, not attributed to chance occurred among the groups. (3) On which individual competencies do the groups differ? Results: Univariate F-tests revealed differences, not attributed to chance, existed among the groups on four of the general competencies. When the result was subjected to the Scheffe post-hoc, follow-up test, two of the four competencies were rejected as not containing differences from influences other than chance. (4) How do the groups differ on the individual general competencies? Results: Analysis of the remaining two general competencies revealed five sub-competencies for one and ten sub-competencies for the second contained significantly different ratings. Recommendations for Further Study. Pursuit of the investigation initiated through this study should seek answers to these questions to solidify and validate the findings of this study. (1) Would a replication of this study employing analogous or non-analogous populations of raters yield identical results? (2) How would the study results have been influenced by: a different membership for the Panel of Experts; a difference in independent variables; a simultaneous use of multiple variables; and, a different set of statistical tests?
