520 3  Music education instructional approaches do not always 
       incorporate the needs and desires of all students that 
       participate in music classes. Informal learning principles,
       outlined by Lucy Green (2008), provide one way of 
       supplying students with a musically engaging learning 
       experience. This study sought to discover the extent to 
       which eighth grade saxophone students, continuing to study
       in a formal instrumental instruction situation, were able 
       to embrace informal instructional practices. Additionally,
       the study explored the efficacy of benchmarks in informal 
       learning settings. Three themes emerged throughout this 
       study: a) students' discomfort in abandoning formal 
       learning, b) students' self-perception as it correlates to
       learning and music, and c) student and teacher discomfort 
       with the change in the teacher's traditional role. In 
       conclusion I suggest that students and teachers entrenched
       in formal music learning situations struggle with the 
       limitations of the formal process, making it difficult to 
       fully embrace informal learning. I also propose that 
       benchmarks, while an appropriate means of assessment, did 
       not take into consideration the learning needs and 
       potentials for each individual student and placed a formal
       objective on an informal learning process.
