The present study is an investigation of the effects of breath management instruction on the performance of elementary brass players. The experimental group ( N = 32) received instruction on the use of air during brass performance. The control group ( N = 29) continued with instruction from their method books. Three measures for breathing (thoracic displacement, abdominal displacement, and lung capacity) and for performance (range, duration, and tone quality) were the dependent variables. The data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analyses of covariance. Independent variables included group (experimental and control), instrument (trumpet, horn, and trombone), and grade level (fourth, fifth, and sixth). Main effects for group showed that the experimental group had significantly higher scores on measures of abdominal displacement, range, and duration ( p < .05). There were no treatment-by-instrument or treatment-by-grade-level interactions. Breathing instruction in group lessons was effective in improving the breathing and performance of elementary brass players.

Purpose: There is need to focus on extensive use of technology in teaching and learning process, since the teachers are provided with well-organized WebQuests that are beneficial for developing effective teaching skills. The study aims to investigate the extent of the effects of WebQuests on the teaching skills and performance of pre-service teachers of English at the College of Education of King Khalid University. Methodology: The study sample, which included 35 students of the general diploma in English, were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The members of the control group were supervised in the traditional way during their teaching practice, and the members of the experimental group were given WebQuests so that they could surf the internet under the guidance of their supervisor and find the information they needed about teaching skills. The teaching performance of the teachers of both groups was assessed via a teaching performance observation form. The data collected through classroom observation was analyzed using SPSS. The differences between the teachers of both the groups in terms of the teaching skills were calculated using Mann-Whitney U test. Findings: Statistically significant differences were found in the rank means of the participants of the control and the experimental groups regarding their lesson planning and teaching skills. The results were favorable for the teachers of the experimental group; however, no significant difference was found between the scores of the experimental and the control groups in terms of lesson evaluation skills. Originality: The use of WebQuests significantly enhances the teaching skills of the students of the general diploma in English.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using tape-recorded aural models for home practice on selected sight-reading and performance skills of sixth-grade clarinet students. The experimental design was a pretest-posttest control-group design with an additional posttest measure. It was predicted that students in the experimental group would do significantly better than students in the control group with regard to pitch reading, rhythm reading, tempo accuracy, and intonation accuracy as measured by the sight-reading and performance tests. It was also projected that students in the experimental group would complete more music exercises during the study than students in the control group. The statistical analysis indicated no significant difference between the experimental and control groups with regard to either the skills measured or the number of music exercises completed during the study. These results appear to indicate that tape-recorded aural models used in this study had no observed effect on the selected music skills.

When teaching or training fencing we find that most learners are able to perform some fencing skills during learning within the lesson, but they find it difficult to perform the same skills when linked in one sentence after a short period or in subsequent lessons, or during practical exams, so I conducted those Study to develop solutions to this problem by investing the Zahoric model and its distinctive educational steps in learning the kinetic sentences in the female blinds, and its impact on the process of learning and linking kinetic sentences in the sport of fencing and make the learning process more effective and economical.   The experimental method was used by designing the experimental and control groups with pre- and post-test on a sample of the second stage students (B22), representing the experimental group and learning the skills using the Zahoric model in its five steps, while the (D26) student representing the control group, which is learning the fencing skills according to the teaching method. Followed. The learning and performance of some kinetic sentences were evaluated by a standardized form of fencing according to the parts of the movement and their manifestations.  An educational curriculum has been prepared using the Zahorik model to learn the kinetic sentences by fencing according to the sectoral vocabulary of the second semester by following the steps of the model (activating information - acquiring - understanding - using - thinking in information). After the statistical treatments, it was concluded that the Zoharic model, designed to learn some kinetic sentences in the experimental group, gave positive results in evaluating the kinetic sentences better than the teaching method used in the control group. In light of the conclusion, it is recommended to adopt the Zoharik model in learning some kinetic sentences with a blind weapon, as it gives the learner a positive in the analysis, composition and understanding of the movements that are combined to give a kinetic sentence that ends with a touch in favor of the attacker who clearly understands where it begins and ends the syntax of the correct kinetic sentence, which resolves the sentence in his favor.
