CHAPTER 2
METHOD
The study utilized an online questionnaire to assess conductor awareness of,
knowledge of, and attitude toward sound intensity levels generated during EBIAs in
college-level schools of music. The questionnaire, a survey tool designed by the
researcher, was administered to members of the College Music Society (CMS) through
Qualtrics, an internet-based software program.
Participants
Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants from the CMS directory,
which contained a total of 8,478 members, who 1) identify themselves as conductors in
college-level schools of music and 2) are employed in the United States. 77 The CMS
directory is organized by music specialization categories and corresponding catalog
numbers, which members (previous to the study) select upon joining or renewing their
CMS membership to self-identify their specialization(s) within the field. 78 Members are
permitted to select one or a combination of categories from the list to describe their
qualification(s). The researcher and the CMS director of communications selected
eleven music specialization categories in which conductors would most likely self-
identify. The resulting categories and respective catalog numbers selected were: choral
(36), band (37), orchestra (38), opera (39), vocal chamber ensemble (40), instrumental
chamber ensemble (41), jazz/stage band (46), jazz ensemble (47), conducting-choral
