The Administrative Functions Of The Junior High School Instrumental Music Director, Jack M. Dorsey

Graduate Student Research Papers

In Tacoma Public School District 10, there is one music supervisor for fifty-two schools serving 150,000 people. This supervisor must, of necessity, rely in part on the administrative ability of the individual director under his supervision. It was the purpose of this paper (1) to discover a working philosophy of music education for everyday use by the instrumental music director; and (2) to find from authoritative sources the factors essential for successful administration of the Junior High School instrumental department.

When the author commenced his Y~ster ' s program in the summer of 1959, it was decided that a lecture-recital project would be more desirable in his case than the alternative procedure of doing original research and writing a thesis . The writer has never regretted the decision, but it must be confessed he felt more than once that a thesis would have been the easier project.
