Dear colleagues:

We are conducting a research study to gather data on the music theory and aural skills used by musicians (considered broadly to include performers, conductors, musicologists, composers, theorists, classroom instructors, and studio teachers). We plan to share the data we collect and our analysis in order to inform music theory pedagogy and music curricula in higher education. Participants will complete a short online survey (approximately 5–10 minutes).

The survey (https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_agvGbI8jtqpFg90) is anonymous and no identifiable information will be collected.

We appreciate your consideration and would invite you to share the survey with other musicians.

Please contact Sara Bakker (sara.bakker@usu.edu) or Andrew Gades (agades@collegeofidaho.edu) with questions.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience with us!

Dr. Sara Bakker
