This study attempted to determine the effectiveness of modular instruction in Music for first year high school students in Samar College which could be used by music teachers handling first year music subjects. This study employed the experimental research method specifically the pre-test/post-test/control group design method. The main sources of the data were the Form 137-A (Permanent Record of the students), diagnostic test, pre-test and post-test results and reliability of the module. The computational results show that the control group had a mean gain of 14.32. Both groups have achieved considerable improvement in learning competency. The absolute computed value of t was 0.142 which was less than the tabular value. Thus the null hypothesis that “there is no significant difference between the control group and the experimental group with respect to their mean score in the pre-test” (Ho=1.1) is accepted. There is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores in both the control and experimental group. The module is appropriate and interesting for the first year high school students in terms of readability level. The developed modules in Music I should be used and evaluated in a public school to further confirm their effectiveness. Modules should be given a chance to catch up with lessons not well learned in the classroom. However, this should go hand in hand with the traditional instruction.
