Abstract

It was the purpose of this study to examine data gathered from the itinerate string teachers of the Palm Beach County School System in the State of Florida, in an attempt to decide the effectiveness of the five-day experimental string classes for fifth-grade students taught prior to the regular beginning fifth-grade string classes. The method of research used consisted of questionnaires sent to string specialists, elementary principals and fifth-grade teachers. These data were tabulated by the researcher. The data were presented with reference to numbers of participating students, number and frequency of classes, duration of the experimental program and working condition for the classes. These were illustrated through a series of tables and figures with an analysis of each and interpretation of the results and recommendations for improving future experimental string classes. It was determined that all of the string teachers had similar problems in scheduling classes, transporting instruments, and finding adequate classroom space. The mutual strength of the program was the enthusiasm of the fifth-grade students during the five days of class instruction.
