Dear Participants,
My name is Dr. Charles Ciorba, and I am an Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of Oklahoma. I am conducting a research study to examine the effectiveness of a new Jazz Theory Test. I plan to build on the results of this research to create an educational theory that can help jazz educators diagnose the musical imperfections exhibited by beginning improvisers with the intention of creating appropriate solutions. In addition, music educators can use these results to develop innovative curricula, which can be used to effectively teach the art of jazz improvisation to their students.
If you agree to participate in this research, you will be asked to complete a 60-item jazz theory test, which should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. There are no risks and no benefits from being in this research. Participation is completely voluntary, and all responses will remain anonymous.
