The Application Of Critical Theory To A Sixth Grade General Music Class, Frank Abrahams Oct 2021

The Application Of Critical Theory To A Sixth Grade General Music Class, Frank Abrahams

Visions of Research in Music Education

This article looks at critical theory as a post-modern philosophical foundation for a sixth grade general music curriculum. The author reviews the literature on critical theory, discussing the origins of the theory in Frankfurt, Germany in the early 1920s and traces the applications critical theory finds in American schools of the current era. The author suggests that critical theory is appropriate for music education as it empowers musicianship and enables music teachers to connect the music children experience in school with the music they hear outside. The author describes how critical theory may inform and transform the development of a …


Musical Knowledge And Choral Curriculum Development, David Bower Oct 2021

Musical Knowledge And Choral Curriculum Development, David Bower

Visions of Research in Music Education

This paper examines the nature of musical knowledge as it impacts choral curriculum development. The author suggests that musical knowledge is broader than the mere recitation of facts and therefore argues for a praxial conception of musical knowledge. Based on David Elliott's philosophy of music education, the author suggests that the choral curriculum emphasize process over product and explores ways that constructivism may inform the delivery of choral music instruction.

The Relationship Of Vocal Accuracy, Gender, And Music Aptitude Amoung Elementary Students, Susan C. Guerrini

Visions of Research in Music Education

The purpose of the study was to gain insight into how children in the fourth and fifth grade acquire singing ability. The question to be pursued in the course of this study is as follows: What differences are found in children's singing accuracy relative to tonal music aptitude and gender? The students in the sample comprised the entire fourth and fifth grades in a suburban middleclass school. There were 174 students with gender almost evenly distributed; specifically 86 males and 88 females. Students were audio taped singing three separate tasks: 1) patterns from the Singing Voice Development Measure (SVDM), 2) …

A Hierarchy Of Rhythm Performance Patterns For Kindergarten Children, Debbie Lynn Wolf

Visions of Research in Music Education

The purpose of this research was to improve understanding of the musical abilities of kindergarten children and to establish a hierarchy of rhythm patterns performed by these subjects. The "Rhythm Pattern Performance Test" (RPT), an investigator-designed music achievement test for kindergarten subjects, examined the ability to perform rhythm patterns in imitative response to a recorded model. The test consisted of thirty recorded rhythm patterns, and required approximately four minutes to administer to each subject. Subjects (N =165) were audiotape recorded as they listened and imitated each of the patterns; their recorded responses were evaluated by two independent judges using a …


Influences Of Gender And Sex-Stereotyping Of Middle School Student's Perception And Selection Of Musical Instruments: A Review Of The Literature, Mark J. Walker Oct 2021

Influences Of Gender And Sex-Stereotyping Of Middle School Student's Perception And Selection Of Musical Instruments: A Review Of The Literature, Mark J. Walker

Visions of Research in Music Education

Gender stereotypes continue to persist at all levels regarding male and female participation in music. Indeed, stereotypes are evident at the elementary and middle school levels when children choose a musical instrument for study in beginning band or orchestra. Research has shown sex-stereotyping of instruments to exist, often unconsciously, in both males and females. Usually, trombones, drums, tubas are viewed as being overtly masculine instruments while the flute, clarinet, and oboe are viewed as being overtly feminine instruments. These masculine and feminine characteristics that are placed on these instruments are often transferred to the individual who plays them. These stereotypes …

Working For Jussi, Bertil Hagman Oct 2021

Working For Jussi, Bertil Hagman

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

For the final vignette in this memorial book let us ask some of those at the Royal Opera, who over a number of years saw Jassi Bjorling develop from the poor but talented dalmas into the world famous tenor, what it was like to work with and for him. Their opinions are variations on the one theme; a god-given voice, a musical genius, a conscientious and humble artist, and a whole-hearted friend.


Concerts On Ljustero, Hugo Theorell Oct 2021

Concerts On Ljustero, Hugo Theorell

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

My acquaintance with Jussi Bjorling was so sporadic that it hardly entitles me to contribute to this memorial book. It was confined to a small sphere of activity- our mutual interest in giving concerts from time to time in order to lend a band with the well-intentioned community work carried out by the population of that part of the Stockholm archipelago where we both spent so many delightful summers. But Jussi did not remain just an acquaintance to anyone -his unaffected, genial nature made him immediately a friend.


With Jussi In Private Life, Teddy Nyblom Oct 2021

With Jussi In Private Life, Teddy Nyblom

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The Royal Court Singer. the people's singer, the master singer and the internationally renowned tenor - Jussi Bjorling has been praised in all manner of superlatives. Of his grandly evident Swedishness and sincere love for his country, many have spoken in the most glowing terms. Allow me now, after all these justified plaudits, to take a look at Jussi "in his shirt-sleeves" and relate a little of what he was like in everyday life.


The Voice Of Velvet, Sven Salen Oct 2021

The Voice Of Velvet, Sven Salen

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Jussi Bjorling-during the last few decades that name has flown out on wings of song over the whole world: an ambassador of vocal musk from the little country far up in the north on the Arctic Circle; a singer who could sing with ltalianate passion but also with a northerner's control. This must have been a spoilt individual, a true prima donna. What was he really like?

My Obsession With Opera And The Voice Of Jussi Bjorling, Andrew S. Pope Oct 2021

My Obsession With Opera And The Voice Of Jussi Bjorling, Andrew S. Pope

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The first time I heard the voice of Bjorling was on a Bell Telephone Hour, as a teen. I tuned in late on my old 1942 Sears Silvertone radio with the "magic eye.· Bjorling was in the middle of "Sylvia," I thought his the most beautiful tenor voice I had ever heard. That really got me excited and shortly afterwards I acquired an RCA Victor catalog. It was huge and had a good "Red Seal" section where I could read about the "'golden age" voice of Jussi Bjorling.

The Recorded Voice Of Jussi Bjorling, Sue Flaster Oct 2021

The Recorded Voice Of Jussi Bjorling, Sue Flaster

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

The recorded voice of Jussi Bjorling (without which this is neither possible nor necessary) shimmers as I split the hairs of small emotions.


Bass Mark Elyn Remembers Jussi, Dan Shea Oct 2021

Bass Mark Elyn Remembers Jussi, Dan Shea

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

One or our long-time JBS members is Mark Elyn, who in his mid-twenties as a bass at the start of his career sang with Jussi in a 1956 Detroit Rigoletta, and then during 1958 in performances of Trovatore, Don Carlo, and Rigoletto in San Francisco, Sacramento and Los-Angeles. He observed Jussi closely in rehearsals and performances and has much to tell about those experiences.

Thrill Of A Lifetime-Meeting Jussi Backstage At Lyric Opera In 1957

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

My mind was in a happy whirl. I could not believe: it. Here I was, sitting in tenth row center seats with my parents al the Civic Opera House in Chicago. It was November 4th, 1957, and a performance of Lyric Opera of Chicago's La Boheme was about to begin. I had just learned learned during the first intermission, I was to be taken backstage to meet my musical idol, Jussi Bjorling. The house lights dimmed, the conductor took his place. I was about to hear Jussi sing in person for the first time. BuT how was I going to …
