All Master's Theses

The artist should employ his sense of playful experimentation that requires the re-investigation of old manners and styles.

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.

Utilization Of The Frame Loom For Weaving In The Secondary School, Bonnie Jean Powell

All Master's Theses

Creating weavings on the frame loom is an important method to be investigated in that it is possible to create complex and creative forms without using the intricate process of the harness loom. Because frame loom weaving has so many advantages for secondary art students, it should be investigated and explained so that future teachers, who have had little or no experience with it, could see its value and teach it to their own students.

It shall be the purpose of this study to encourage the shared philosophy and communication relationship between school music educators and their administrators.
