Abstract
This study has been made in response to some of the problems observed in the general music program of the Logan City School District during the five-year period 1960-1965. As the number of classroom units increased during these years, the function of the elementary music supervisor was modified. Supervision as a "visiting music teacher" on a bi-monthly schedule gradually changed to supervision as a "teacher consultant" whose scheduled classroom visits were once a month or less.
During these scheduled visits, the classroom teacher planned and presented two or more music lessons for observation. Other scheduled contacts were either teacher-supervisor consultations, or were supervisor demonstrations int he classrooms, prepared in response to the teacher's requests and needs. More and more supervision time was spent in an effort to help the teacher to teach music, rather than in helping the pupils to sing.
This shift of responsibility for teaching the general music program, from the supervisor to the classroom teacher, fostered many problems. Most of these problems were consequence are commented upon in this study.
