Description: Test, measurement, and evaluation data are not viewed as a panacea for music education, but there is little question that the use of valid and reliable data from such can provide music teachers, administrators, counselors, and therapists with both broader and stronger bases for decision making relevant to music instruction and learning. Judicious use of these data ultimately will facilitate instructional improvement, increase students' learning, and foster students' positive affective/aesthetic experiences through music.
