Abstract
Results suggest the following needs: an increase in professional offerings devoted to improvisation; reform in undergraduate music education programs to include improvisation as both a musicianship skill and a teaching method; and the development of teaching materials that combine successful improvisational teaching techniques with related research results to bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners interested in making improvisation a regular part of elementary general music instruction.
