Classroom Survey Ð Sound Health¨
Using Sound Health
Submitted by: Center for Psychoacoustic Research
In 1998 a classroom survey was conducted at two public schools in the mid-western
United States. Teachers of grades Kindergarten through Six were asked to play the
Learning and Concentration CD's from Sound Health in their classrooms. Following
the use of these CD's the teachers were then asked to complete a survey providing
us with their feedback concerning the use of these CD's. The results of the classroom
survey follow.
School Survey Results
Sound Health CD's used with 27 classrooms with 560 students averaging 21 students
per class. Here are the teacher responses following the use of Learning and
Concentration.
Results
students more score less score no change no comment
On Task 70.5% 1.5% 19.5% 8.5%
Productive 50.5% 41% 8.5%
Attentive 48.5% 1.5% 41.5% 8.5%
Quiet 68% 1.5% 22% 8.5%
Noisy 1.5% 68% 22% 8.5%
Between these two schools a total of 27 classrooms with 560 students grades
Kindergarten through Six listened to Learning and Concentration. Review of the
combined responses of the 27 teachers, from the two schools showed that 100% of
the teachers reported they enjoyed the experience of playing this music in their
classroom. An average of 70.5% reported their students were more on task, 68%
reported their classrooms were less noisy, 48.5% reported their students were more
attentive, and 50.5% reported their students were more productive when listening.
These teachers also indicated they felt the music was most useful when played
during periods when the student engaged in writing, math, thinking, silent reading,
language, and independent study. Sound Health proved to
provide benefit to the students in a school setting.
Music for Concentration and Music for Learning are part of an
eight CD series called Sound Health. The series contains
psychoacoustically-refined classical and baroque music
performed by the Arcanglos Chamber Ensemble. Music for
Concentration has an average tempo of 50-60 beats per
minute and includes compositions by Bach, Vivaldi, Salieri and
Albinoni. Music for Learning also has and average tempo of 50-60
beats per minute and includes compositions by Bach, Vivaldi
and Corelli in addition to sounds of nature.
Sound Health was developed by the Center for Psychoacoustic
Research in conjunction with Advanced Brain Technologies, LLC.
