Our Time Management Scale contains four dimensions of time management, namely, the “prioritizing activities,” “setting goals,” “perceived control of time,” “time management strategies.” Two hundred and eighty-two valid questionnaires were collected from music-talented classes of seven high schools in Taipei City and New Taipei city. The data were analyzed by the software package SPSS 12.0 for Windows. The statistic methods included descriptive statistics, Student T-test, one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of this study were as below: 1. The performance of music-talented class students in high school is comparatively good in four dimensions of time management, namely, the “prioritizing activities,” “setting goals,” “perceived control of time,” “time management strategies,” as well as in “overall time management.” 2. There was significant difference in “time management strategies” between different genders of music-talented class students in high school. But there was no significant difference on “time management” in variables such as gender, grade, principal instrument, socioeconomic status, rearing style, and the number of children in the family. 3. Students of different grades and of different principal instrument showed significant difference in“grades of the principal instrument”; however, the “grades of the principal instrument” was not affected by different gender, socioeconomic status, rearing style, and the number of children. 4. “Time management” at all dimensions and “overall time management” had positive correlation with “grades of academic subjects and principal instrument.” Meanwhile, “perceived control of time” and “overall time management” had positive correlation with “grades of academic subjects and principal instrument” 5. “Time management” at all dimensions and “overall time management” had predictive power on“grades of academic subjects and principal instrument.” And “perceived control of time” and “overall time management” had predictive power on“grades of academic subjects and principal instrument.” Keyword: achievement of musically-talented student, time management, academic achievement, grades of the principal instrument.
