Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experiences and perspectives of music teachers of color should be included and validated as being an integral part of understanding what it means to be a music teacher. Many current practices for preparing and developing music educators are implemented within a framework that is deceptively considered to be culturally, theoretically, and politically neutral. The experiences and narratives of music educators of color may help to inform current thinking and understanding surrounding the professional experiences of music teachers. My dissertation study seeks to amplify the voices of African-American music teachers by illuminating how their experiences within racially and culturally inclusive spaces have influenced their perceptions of what it means to be a teacher. I employed theories within a critical race paradigm to provide inclusive, authentic contexts for the often-silenced stories of participants to be told and constructed, while allowing participants to create definitions and representations of what it means to be a music teacher. Using life history and collective memory methodologies, I elicited the valued, insider knowledge of three African-American music teachers who have had influential experiences within artistic communities of resistance. Thematic analysis was employed to explore narrative content and to attend to nuanced and collective understandings among individuals and groups. Findings of this study indicated the possibilities of music teacher narratives to serve as epistemological and pedagogical resources for pre-service teacher education and in-service professional development.
Download or read book I Was Not Asked written by George E. Allen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his memoir, Dr. George E. Allen looks back at a career spanning more than five decades of teaching music to Philadelphia students. Early on in life, he learned about many styles of music, and he took his love of the art to college, where he earned multiple degrees before joining the Philadelphia School District. There, he earned the respect of students, fellow music teachers, and music administrators. It wasn't easy, but he did it his way and enjoyed positive results. He inspired the same type of dogged effort in his students, relying on a phrase that he placed at the beginning of all his syllabi: "It is better to know than to think you know." He first heard that on the phone from Ellis Marsalis, the father of jazz musician Wynton and a well-known musician in his own right. Allen adopted the phrase as one of his own mantras, never allowing his students to say "I think" or "I can't." Whether you are someone who loves music, an education professional, or someone thinking about becoming a teacher, you can find inspiration in Allen's love for music, education, and his students. It was time for me to begin serious work on writing about my experience as a music educator in Philadelphia because I did it differently with satisfying results.

Book excerpt: The approach of this book, first published in 1982, is multi-disciplinary. Popular music, it is argued, is not only a musical but also a social phenomenon; the criteria needed to assess it are different from those used in the appreciation of ‘classical’ music. The first section of this guide is devoted to setting out just what those criteria should be. A second section puts forward bases for course construction that are detailed and flexible. A final section provides a list of further resources.

Download or read book Case Study Narratives of Three African American Music Educators who Attended and Taught in Segregated Schools of Princess Anne County Virginia Beach from 1940 1969 written by Ruby L. Allen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the experiences of three African-American music educators who attended and taught in the segregated schools of Princess Anne County, Virginia, from 1940 until 1969 when segregated ended. Research questions for this study included: (a) under what political and socio-economic conditions did African-American music teachers live during the era of segregation from 1940 until 1969, (b) what were the perceptions of experiences of the participants who attended the elementary schools in Princess Anne County during segregation, (c) what were the perceptions of experiences of the participants who returned to teach in Princess Anne County during segregation, and (d) how did music instruction change for the African-American communities after 1953? The qualitative research design was based on a narrative inquiry into a social or human problem reported in the detailed open-ended interviews with the three participants. Patterns of themes emerged from the data after an analysis of the research topic (Creswell, 1994). The results of the study indicated that the perceptions of experiences of the three participants were that in spite of attending the segregated public schools in Princess Anne County where their exposure to music education was limited, they were determined to pursue a career in music education. Findings also revealed that while working in the segregated schools they had to cope with many problems, yet they had a high sense of teacher motivation, had high expectations for their students and were highly regarded in their roles as teachers in their communities. This study adds to the body of literature on the history of music education and African American experiences during segregation in the United States of America.
