Parallel Frames And Policy Narratives In Music Education And Physical Education, Patrick K. Freer Jan 2012

Parallel Frames And Policy Narratives In Music Education And Physical Education, Patrick K. Freer

Music Faculty Publications

The relationship between music education and physical education can be portrayed as a competition for financial resources, student enrollment, instructional time, and community support. This article instead explores issues of commonality between the two disciplines, including their histories, curricular debates, shared concerns, mutual challenges, and potential futures.

Developing Musical And Educational Identities In University Music Students, Patrick K. Freer Jan 2012

Developing Musical And Educational Identities In University Music Students, Patrick K. Freer

Music Faculty Publications

The musical and educational identities of music students are often at odds with one another, and yet teaching plays a role in the working lives of almost all musicians. Similar conflicts arise when music education majors view themselves as either musicians or educators, but not as both. This article reports results from parallel studies in two urban universities, one in Australia and the other in the United States. Seventy-two participants contributed drawings and textual responses on three surveys administered across a semester. Surveys were designed to record emerging perceptions of musician and teacher identities. Results indicated that the musical identity …

At The Intersection Of Public And Private Musical Life: Brahms’S Op. 51 String Quartets, Marie Sumner Lott Jan 2012

At The Intersection Of Public And Private Musical Life: Brahms’S Op. 51 String Quartets, Marie Sumner Lott

Music Faculty Publications

Brahms’s dedication of his Op. 51 string quartets (1873) to surgeon Theodor Billroth provides a window into Brahms’s music-political views in the 1870s that has heretofore been unexplored by music scholars. Analysis of correspondence, performance traditions, and the scores of these two quartets demonstrates that Brahms chose to align himself and his works with the learned connoisseurs of the domestic chamber-music making tradition, represented by Billroth and his frequent musical soirées.
