dc.description.abstractBeginning instrumentalists are often unmotivated to practice. The researcher conducted an action research project to determine if GarageBand, a music recording software, could be used to motivate eighth grade music students to increase the amount and quality of their independent practice sessions. Students completed three 25-minute practice sessions and at random intervals self-recorded if they were on-task. Students then recorded themselves using GarageBand, and their performance was scored against a rubric. The study produced mixed results although student response at the end of the project revealed that a majority of the students had a favorable attitude toward practicing and recording using the software.
