Empirical approach is adopted in this research by randomly selecting four first grade classes of Chiang Tsui Junior High School, Banqiao, Taipei with a total number of students of 153. After 12 weeks experiment, data are collected in the following forms: “A measurement tool on students' music achievement”; “A questionnaire on students' recorder learning experience”; “A questionnaire on students' opinions on cooperative learning”; “An assessment of recorder performing”.Data are then computed by MicroSoft Excel for descriptive statistics and t-test of single-tail and two-tail. The results of this study are concluded as follows: 1. Music Achievement Result with Cooperative Learning Though the average music achievement scores for students receiving cooperative learning is high than those receiving traditional learning, there is no significant difference of scores between cooperative learning and traditional learning. 2. Alto Recorder Learning Result with Cooperative Learning The test indicates a significant difference of achievement on the recorder learning between students who receive cooperative learning and traditional one. It concludes that cooperative learning promote performancing skill on recorder. 3. Learning Motivation with Cooperative Learning The assessment result shows higher scores on “enjoyment”, “proactive”, and “involvement” than the students receive traditional teaching to a significant level. 4. Class Atmosphere with Cooperative Leaning The assessment result shows that the scores on “peer's support”, “group satisfaction”, and “instructor's support” are higher in the classes with cooperative learning than traditional one to a significant level. 5. Students' Feed Back on Cooperative Learning a. The questionnaire shows that the majority of students prefer cooperative learning to traditional teaching. b. The majority of students give a positive attitude toward cooperative learning on Alto recorder. c. Students perceive the following advantages on cooperative learning: mutual encouraging, learning, exchanging views among team mates; cheery class atmosphere helps inter-person skill. d. Students also recognize the following disadvantages on cooperative learning: pressure arises from group competition; stressfulness results unsatisfactory performance; pressure also arises from the limit of time for practicing. Recommendations are also provided to music instructors, education administration, school administration,and future related research based on this research results.
