The Character Building Influences Of The School Music Program, James W. Riley

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Before any attempt can be made to show in what ways the school music program may influence the character of children, the problem must be presented and terms defined.

Since this study is not intended to be one of extended psychological research, the reader should bear in mind that the problem is that of the music teacher and not of the psychologist or expert counselor. Therefore our terms will be defined in a very liberal manner, more as they are understood by the average reader.

By character training is meant the conscious or unconscious effort on the part of parents, …

The Effect Of European Festivals On American Entertainment, Florence Veall

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The selection of the subject "The effect of European Festivals on American Entertainment" was prompted by an assignment in a College of the Pacific Summer School course, "Supervision in the Elementary School."

The project was the planning of a patrictic program in an immigrant community. Each nationality represented in the class was to provide a national impression of the homeland of his ancestors, by means of costume, song, and dance typical of the country. After an hour of very interesting entertainment which gave an introduction to the background of the foreign members of the class, all lustily sang "America," led …

An Evaluation Of Tests Of Musical Talent, Herbert Clark Levan

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

The problem consists of an evaluation of tests of musical ability to discover which tests are most reliable and useful for elementary school purposes.

In a review of the literature related to the problem an attempt was made to present different viewpoints fairly, to summarize evidence of outstanding tests, to analyze contradictory evidences for possible solution of the questions involved, and to set up criteria for the selection of the best tests.

For further evidence, four selected batteries of comparatively new tests were given to over one thousand children in grades two to six in the schools of Parsons, Kansas. …
