Recommendations for future research might also include a similar research design
looking at the results of NNAT testing across multiple schools of similar enrollment.
Factors such a comparison of mainstream schools, magnet schools, parental involvement
in music or performance, and larger sample sizes should yield additional data. The
design of this particular study could be expanded to include a comparison of both short
term music exposure and longer term instrumental instruction to ascertain if either or
both combined will offer more a definitive insight regarding the questions proposed by
this project.
