An updated curriculum is an essential teaching resource for all new music educators; however, the Fredericksburg City School System’s music curriculum was last updated in 1985 (Fredericksburg City Public Schools, 1985). Since then, there has been an adoption of National Standards for music (National Standards, 1994) …

Music As A Bridge To Literacy For Young Deaf Children In Classrooms, Fara Wilson
Undergraduate University Honors Capstones
This thesis examines the relationship of music to literacy development for young deaf learners through the use of a theoretical conceptual study. Theories from six different areas of research literature (music and learning, musical intelligence, music and literacy, music and school learning, and music and deaf education) were compared to the experiences of deaf people through an autobiography and interviews. The connection of all three sources of data encourages further research on the potential impact that music may have on a deaf child’s literacy development.

Graduate Recital, Donna Gatlin Davis
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Preparation for the graduate recital provides the Master's candidate an opportunity to exercise a variety of musical skills.

Stylistic Characteristics Of Randall Thompson's Choral Music, Robert Hugh Creigh
All Master's Theses
Randall Thompson's choral music, widely performed by professional groups, colleges, and choirs from public schools, establishes this composer as one of the foremost in contemporary music.

The Superintendent's Point Of View Concerning Music In The High Schools Of Washington State, Morris Ray Pedersen
The Superintendent's Point Of View Concerning Music In The High Schools Of Washington State, Morris Ray Pedersen
All Master's Theses
A common philosophy of administrators and music educators should be prerequisite for a successful music program. This philosophy should permit enough flexibility to allow for individual differences and yet be rigid enough to encompass general education needs and goals. It can only be shared through communication. The place of music within the curriculum will be understood through this communication between the music educator and the chief administrator. It shall be the purpose of this study to encourage the shared philosophy and communication relationship between school music educators and their administrators.
