Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the extent to which military-connected schools provide opportunities for students to participate in music ensembles. The researcher proposed three primary research questions: 1) Are there standards set by the administration overseeing these schools which directly require or affect inclusion of music course offerings in the schools? 2) To what extent do military-connected high schools offer band, choir, and strings courses? 3) How frequently are courses offered at the beginning, intermediate, and advanced level at each school? Data on all three questions was collected in order to determine any correlation between curriculum standards and the presence of music in individual schools.
