This maybe the reason that deterred the respondents from undergoing music lessons.

The pretest was the students’ first exposure to the musical piece. They learned their vocal parts by listening to a recorded melody. The same procedure was administered to the experimental group. Although they had higher weighted means. Along the elements as compared to the control group as shown by these results: pitch (1.87), rhythm (2.43), tonal quality (2.37) and articulation and phrasing (2.30) all of these were translated into the verbal description of fair.
