Relations among Motivation, Performance Achievement, and Music Experience Variables in Secondary Instrumental Music Students

Schmidt, P. (2005) "Relations among Motivation, Performance Achievement, and Music Experience Variables in Secondary Instrumental Music Students." Journal of Research in Music Education. 53(2), p134-147


Great article discussing the research of Motivation, Performance Achievement and Music Experience in middle school students. As a director that is one of my "Fierce Wanderings" in my own practice.


"Overall, instrumental students in this study tended to report that their own success was best defined by mastery and cooperative orientations, while they placed less emphasis on competitive and ego ori-

entations."
