Abstract:

The primary objective of this study was to develop and pilot a research design aimed at identifying factors associated with the education and training and the resulting career patterns of symphony orchestra musicians. In particular, the study sought to develop data gathering instruments and techniques permitting a detailed analysis of educational and career influences. The instrument developed for this purpose was evaluated through administration to six symphony orchestras in the . The orchestras were chosen to include representatives of the whole spectrum of orchestra types. While suitable for test purposes, the six do not constitute a stratified sample intended to be representative of all symphony orchestra musicians. (p. 83)
