The purpose of this study was to describe the degree of consensus existing among music educators regarding agreement in theory with selected statements of Bennett Reimer in A Philosophy of Music Education, and the extent those statements are valued as practical guides in professional practice. To accomplish that description, this study (1) identified the major statements of Bennett Reimer's basic beliefs about music education, (2) surveyed the extent to which a sample of Wisconsin music educators agree with those beliefs, (3) analyzed the relationship between agreement with Reimer's beliefs in theory (AIT) and the perceived application of those beliefs in the field (VIP), and (4) described whether teachers with different combinations of teacher characteristics differed in amounts of agreement with Reimer's beliefs. Dr. Reimer assisted the researcher in selecting, revising and weighting the most representative statements from his (1970) book. The twenty most highly weighted statements appeared on the final survey. Subjects responded to those statements on a Likert scale indicating attitude in theory (AIT) and value in practice (VIP). Surveys were mailed to a random sample of Wisconsin music educators. Two hundred twenty-four (68 percent) returns were analyzed. Two-way ANOVAs were performed using means for AIT and VIP as dependent measures on the following teacher characteristics; levels (elementary, junior high/middle school, high school, college), subjects (vocal, instrumental, general), environment (urban, suburban, rural), and experience (0-4 years, 5-9 years, 10 or more). Results indicate that Wisconsin music educators do agree with the major statements of Reimer's philosophy. Agreement is higher in theory (AIT) than in practice (VIP) and highest in theory and practice among college level music educators. Teaching level influences Wisconsin music teachers' agreement on both dependent measures with theoretical statements. Teaching level and environment interact to influence teachers' theoretical attitudes. As might be expected, a positive correlation exists between theory and practice with theory evidently representing an ideal practiced somewhat less efficiently.
