None of the students had had any prior instrumental music training. The students were purposively allocated to one of the two instructional material; these were (a) an experimental group that were subject to the blended approach, using instructional materials based on Dick and Carey (Dick, Carey and Carey, 2005) ;and (b) a control group that received conventional teaching via instructional materials based on printed method books. Following the 14-week treatment, the students completed an achievement test, performance assessment, and satisfaction survey…
