Abstract

This study was to survey university choral students regarding their views towards the choral conductor’s rehearsal behaviours utilized in the rehearsal setting by ranking the behaviours in the order of importance to them and to investigate the attitudes of university choral students towards their choral rehearsal. The author also surveyed conductors about the value they place upon conductor’s rehearsal behaviours in the choral rehearsal. A sample of 111 choral students and four conductors from four local universities in Malaysia participated in this study. Two kinds of instrument from the Gleason (1992) were used as the primary measurement of data for this study: 1) Students’ and Conductors’ Survey of Conductor’s Rehearsal Behaviours, and; 2) Music Class Attitude Index (MCAI). Overall, university choral students and conductors value “conducting and rehearsal procedures” more than “personality and personal qualities” of the conductor’s rehearsal behaviours. Attitude scores did not differ significantly by gender, but were found to differ significantly by choir and students’ years of experience in singing with the conductor.
