Supervisor: Lisa M. Maynard
The purpose of this study was to examine the Multicultural Music Education (MME) practices of established (i.e. more than three years of music teaching experience) Elementary Music Teachers in the state of Virginia by examining their responses to a series of survey questions specific to the topic. Participants (N=18) were all current Elementary Music Teachers in the state of Virginia with more than three years of experience.
Participants were asked to use Likert-scale ratings for the majority of the questions but were also given the …
Constructivist Peer Review In Music Theory And Composition Courses: Technologies And Practice, Brendan Mcconville
Constructivist Peer Review In Music Theory And Composition Courses: Technologies And Practice, Brendan Mcconville
Journal of the Association for Technology in Music Instruction
This article considers the supporting technologies and practices for effective semi-anonymous peer review in traditional music theory and composition-related courses: orchestration, arranging, and composition. A coordinated approach probes two questions nested within one broad case study: (1) does the use of peer review in music theory and composition-related courses create meaningful, constructivist-inspired learning experiences, and (2) what web technologies can efficiently and effectively accomplish its activities? The article first provides a constructivist theoretical framework; next, it explains the methodologies, technologies, and resulting feedback from using peer review in a three-course study; and finally it provides concluding remarks on the many …
An Exploration Of Team Teaching In The School Band Setting, Aaron Zane Thomas
An Exploration Of Team Teaching In The School Band Setting, Aaron Zane Thomas
MSU Graduate Theses
The purpose of this study was to investigate the goals, structure, and director perceptions of team-teaching practices within a vertically-aligned band program. Previous research has indicated that “team teaching” can provide many benefits to both students and teachers. Since not all school districts apply such a system, the objective of this study was to explore a school band program that has implemented vertically-aligned team teaching. I wanted to understand how the directors perceived its benefits, drawbacks, and difficulties. I selected a band program with an established vertically-aligned program that used team-teaching as a pedagogical strategy. I interviewed and observed band …
Breaking The Cycle: Incorporating A Pedagogy Of Expression In Secondary Ensembles, Autumn Mortenson
Breaking The Cycle: Incorporating A Pedagogy Of Expression In Secondary Ensembles, Autumn Mortenson
Senior Honors Theses
Western music education is caught in a cycle of constant concert preparation. Even though teaching expression is an important standard of music education, it is not often the focus of secondary ensembles. This thesis explores the rationale for teaching secondary instrumental students to think expressively, the benefits of teaching expressive performance, and the methods to successfully incorporate this pedagogy. This project aims to show that the creation of expressive opportunity and responsibility during regular rehearsals would allow the students to further develop these skills without detracting from the quality of public performances. The conclusion of this project will provide ensemble …

A Mentoring Network For Novice And Experienced Music Teachers: Concept, Design, Outcomes, And Recommendations, Kristina R. Weimer, Daniel J. Albert
School of Music Faculty Publications and Presentations
Two university music education faculty aimed to expand mentoring beyond a one-to-one relationship to a more collaborative approach by creating a year-long online mentoring network of experienced and novice music educators. The purpose of this article is to describe the network’s structure and content, and discuss outcomes and recommendations based on participating teachers’ perspectives and experiences. Network materials promoted discussion and reflection on various music teaching and learning topics; the sharing of strategies, ideas, and resources; and mutual support and encouragement. Participants discussed topics with direct application for their classes and shared rewarding teaching moments, student successes, positive assessment outcomes, …
Work In Progress. Haydn’S Schemata And Hexachords: Two Analytical Case Studies, Gilad Rabinovitch
Work In Progress. Haydn’S Schemata And Hexachords: Two Analytical Case Studies, Gilad Rabinovitch
HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America
Two analytical case studies, from Haydn’s minuet al roverso (from the Symphony Hob. I: 47) and the opening movement of the String Quartet Op. 50, no. 6, show the interaction of galant schemata (Gjerdingen 2007) and the hexachordal solmization of the solfeggio tradition (Baragwanath 2020). Haydn plays upon conventional galant schemata—presumably elements of style shared by listeners who are closely familiar with the idiom (even if they do not have explicit schema labels); he also plays upon a more esoteric element of his own training and that of many other musicians in the period: hexachordal solmization. By considering both schemata …
Audiation And Its Applications For Intonation In Beginning Band, Jake G. Maine
Audiation And Its Applications For Intonation In Beginning Band, Jake G. Maine
Honors College Theses
Music educators take on the daunting task of teaching students a wide array of skills necessary to promote independent musicianship. Among this list of skills is the ability to play with good intonation. The theoretical basis of this study draws on the work of Edwin E. Gordon, his music learning theory, and his audiation based approach to the acquisition of musical proficiency. This study implements three separate treatments: singing with Curwen hand signs, playing with an accurate tonal model, and playing over a tonic drone to measure the effectiveness of each treatment. Participants were 7th grade band students who play …

Introduction To Special Issue, Music In World Religions: A Response To Isabel Laack, Heather Maclachlan
Introduction To Special Issue, Music In World Religions: A Response To Isabel Laack, Heather Maclachlan
Music Faculty Publications
This article serves to introduce a special issue of Religions, titled Music in World Religions. A 2015 article by religion scholar Isabel Laack claimed that the study of music and religion has been neglected by Laack’s peers in the field of religions. Responding to Laack, I argue that scholars of music have been making important contributions to the study of music and religion and, indeed, have been addressing the twelve specific topics she highlights for decades. After summarizing academic works which respond to Laack’s twelve categories of inquiry, I introduce each of the articles in this special issue, showing that …

Inspired Practice: The Values Of High School Band Directors, Gregory X. Whitmore
Inspired Practice: The Values Of High School Band Directors, Gregory X. Whitmore
Visions of Research in Music Education
This study addresses how high school band directors operationalize their values for music education in their band program s. High school band directors described that their values developed from a variety of influences, namely their educator identity, and the experience of their own participation in high school and collegiate music. I employed a qualitative methodology to determine emergent themes and compare participant responses and band program curricula. Findings from this study indicate these values inform many band directors’ decisions regarding high school band curricula, which they operationalize in curricular outcomes, and through a variety of artistic and educational opportunities for …
Investigating The Music Learning Journeys Of A Student From Cyprus: A Case Study, Maria Papazachariou-Christoforou
Investigating The Music Learning Journeys Of A Student From Cyprus: A Case Study, Maria Papazachariou-Christoforou
Visions of Research in Music Education
The purpose of this case study was to explore the music-making and learning practices of a male elementary student from Cyprus in different settings, inside and outside school. It considers that individuals take many different pathways to become musicians. Their journeys might include contexts in a broad educational spectrum from highly structured and sequential, to informal, and enculturating. The study investigated the characteristics and practices of the diverse teaching-learning contexts involving the participant, the intersection of those settings, and the student's perceptions, feelings, and thoughts about the value of music experiences in those settings for his musical growth. The study …
Musical Knowledge And Choral Curriculum Development, David Bower
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 Application Of Critical Theory To A Sixth Grade General Music Class, Frank Abrahams
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 …

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
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 …
