Elements of this type have been categorized in the literature as general pedagogical knowledge (GPK). The purpose of this quantitative study is to determine if a relationship exists between music teachers’ rankings of importance for GPK variables and the variables related to primary teaching assignment, grade level, teaching experience, and school size. Band and orchestra directors (N = 173) ranked the variables organize and plan instruction; develop rules, routines, procedures, handbooks, etc.; enforce classroom rules promptly and consistently; and develop relationships with students highest of all GPK variables.

Results give an insight into the specific nature of classroom management as it relates to music settings.
