The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a pedagogical approach using rap music on the learning of musical forms among urban African American youth and to determine whether there were differential effects among students of different levels of self-esteem. A total of 66 urban African American youth from the St. Louis County Public Schools who were enrolled in general music classes at Brittany-Woods Middle School served as participants. Two randomly chosen classes formed the control group and two randomly chosen classes formed the experimental group. All participants were in grades six through eight. Based on outcomes on the Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventories-2nd Edition (Battle, 1995), participants were divided into high, middle, and low self-esteem groups. Two instructional methods were employed. For the control group, traditional procedures (e.g. lecture, listening, etc.) were used to teach students binary, ternary, and verse-refrain forms. Representative musical literature, both instrumental and vocal, was used to assist students in learning these musical forms. The researcher also composed three songs in binary, ternary, and verse/refrain form respectively. For the experimental group, the researcher instructed students in identification of binary, ternary, and verse/refrain forms in the same manner as the control group with the exception that the three researcher-composed examples were rapped to a pre-recorded rhythm soundtrack, and students were allowed to move rhythmically to the beat and perform as a |human beat box.| A researcher-designed test was then administered to the participants in both experimental and control groups. Additionally, students were asked to make written comments regarding their perceptions of the use of rap as a pedagogical device. Results indicated no significant differences between the experimental and control groups.
