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.
