Graduate Research Showcase
This literature review explores the impact of audiation and singing on the aural sensitivity of novice musicians, shedding light on the fundamental role of these processes in music education.

However, their precise influence on the development of aural sensitivity in beginners remains understudied.
Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical investigation, this review seeks to uncover the relationship between audiation, singing, and the enhancement of aural skills among novice musicians. Furthermore, the literature review …

Urban music educators face unique challenges not encountered by their suburban and rural counterparts.

Urban music educators face issues engaging parents such as a lack of communication, cultural barriers and a lack of action that is ultimately out of the educator’s control.

Some possible solutions that may assist the urban music educator in engaging parents are engaging the community of the …

Considerations of current trends include lack of foundational relationships between programs and adherence to traditional, unsuccessful …

This paper focuses on the specific goals in a music education classroom and how students with disabilities struggle to achieve such goals without accommodations, as well as examining different personnel and technologies in which access is limited when examining the financial impact. Such accommodations include music therapists assigned to the school, inclusion classrooms, modified instruments, and other technologies …

Orff-Schulwerk For Music Therapists, Brittney Butts Grant
Music Therapy Theses
When using the term "Orff Music Therapy," the assumption is made that the person conducting the lesson or session is a music therapist.

The goal of Orff-Schulwerk is music education. The goal of an Orff Music Therapy session is usually non-musical, such as working on motor control or increasing attention span. In order to fully reach the whole child, teachers and therapists should take into account a secondary focus to …
