on Memorization in the String Classroom. The purpose is to examine how music educators feel about memorization in the string-learning environment. It is widely accepted that teacher perceptions strongly influence student achievement in most learning environments.
Currently, NO DATA exists to inform us about teachers’ perceptions on memorization in the instrumental classroom. Please help us answer some very intriguing questions on this subject by taking 5 minutes to express your valuable opinions.</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 0px; height: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
