The psychometric properties of the Hispanic Bilingual Gifted Screening Instrument (HBGSI) were investigated in this study. The participants in the study were a part of a large 4-year longitudinal randomized study titled English Language and Literacy Acquisition (Project ELLA), which focused on an urban school district located in. The purpose of this study was to investigate (a) the inter-rater reliability of HBGSI data for Hispanic students over a 4-year period of time; (b) the concurrent validity of the HBGSI and the WLPB-R Verbal Analogies subtests measured at the kindergarten level; (c) what clusters best predicted the NNAT over a 4-year period (K-3); and (d) what clusters best predicted the WLPB-R Verbal Analogies subtest at the kindergarten level in English and Spanish. Results demonstrated further validation of the psychometric properties of the HBGSI. The HBGSI was found to have an inter-rater reliability throughout the 4-year ELLA study. It was also found in this study that five HBGSI clusters significantly predicted the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT), seven HBGSI clusters were found to significantly predict the Woodcock Language Proficiency Battery-Revised (WLPB-R) Verbal Analogies subtest in English, and one HBGSI cluster significantly predicted the Spanish version of the WLPB-R Verbal Analogies subtest. Results further showed a fairly high concurrent validity between the HBGSI and the WLPB-R Verbal Analogies subtests in English, and a high concurrent validity between the HBGSI and the WLPB-R Verbal Analogies subtests in Spanish. Overall, this study further validated that the HBGSI holds promise in screening potential Hispanic gifted and talented students in the elementary grades.

This dissertation has taken the form of a creative project, as is permitted by the guidelines for the Doctor of Arts curriculum. The purpose of the project was to assemble and edit for the beginning organist a body of musical literature useful to that important, Initial step in learning which combines Manual and Pedal activity. The thirty-eight selections which comprise the collection are compositions which have never before been used in pedagogical compilations and are arranged: in an order of progressively ascending technical difficulty.Criteria other than appropriateness to the acquisition of needed rudimentary skills influenced the selection of musical works included in this collection. Important schools of organ composition, ranging from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century and stemming from England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain, are to be found in this project: and. the most significant styles of composition, chant-based, chorale-based, fugal, free, homophonic, trio, and dance, are also adequately represented.Each composition has been notated on a standard, three-staff, organ score to which Manual indications, pedalling symbols, and limited fingering assists have been added, in addition, each musical work carries with it a title page bearing not only the composer's complete name and dates but also suggestions for appropriate registration and a brief paragraph of pertinently related stylistic, biographical„ or technical comments.Research which influenced the choice, transcription, and edition of each composition is recorded in this dissertation as is also a chapter of indexes locating the selections from the standpoints of technical difficulty, compositional period and region, and compositional style.Organ Music For the Beginner should serve adequately both as a supplemental. volume to any existing organ course and as a primary study guide for any beginning organ student.
