Book excerpt: Abstract: The present study investigated students' ability to transfer rhythmic skills learned in elementary general music classes to a beginning band setting. Specifically, students' rhythmic reading skills and their ability to maintain a steady pulse were examined. Other variables of interest included differences in rhythmic accuracy among fifth grade students choosing to enroll in band, orchestra or choir as sixth graders, and accuracy of students who had taken private lessons versus those who had not. Rhythmic accuracy based on the mode of response chosen by the subjects (i.e., speaking, clapping, counting) was considered, as well as subjects' accuracy on rhythms displayed in stick notation versus traditional notehead notation. Subjects included fifth and sixth grade music students (N= 39) from a suburban school district in central Ohio who completed a dependent measure designed by the researcher, consisting of 16 rhythm patterns, eight using stick notation and the identical eight patterns using traditional notehead notation. Fifth graders scored significantly higher than sixth graders in regard to rhythmic accuracy (p

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of specific transfer instruction on the rhythmic performance abilities of beginning instrumental students. The investigation examined the effectiveness of a series of instructional steps designed to transfer the application of skills from classroom rhythm activities to the performance of those rhythms on an instrument. Fifth grade students enrolled in the band or orchestra programs of the Hastings Public Schools participated in the study. The students received a total of twelve, six-minute rhythm sessions over twelve weeks, for a total of 72 minutes of instruction. Members of the treatment group received instruction that progressed from rhythmic activities to performance on an instrument. Members of the control group received identical instruction in rhythmic activities without instruments. Students' rhythmic accuracy was assessed through a pretest and identical posttest, which consisted of eleven four-measure etudes. Subjects were audio-recorded as they performed the etudes on their orchestra or band instruments. Students in both groups scored significantly better on single-pitched than on multiple-pitched etudes. Both groups, however, made significantly greater pretest to posttest gains on multiple-pitched versus single pitched etudes. Differences approaching significance were found in the students' ability to play in sync with a rhythmic accompaniment in favor of the treatment group. Significant gain scores from pretest to posttest were found in both groups.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With today's heightened focus on accountability, many states are moving to a system where evidence of student achievement is a component of teacher evaluation. Music education does not have a tradition of measuring individual students in a standardized manner. Gordon (2012) points out, "a serious problem in music education is many teachers rarely measure students' achievement, yet they continuously evaluate it often using subjective results to indirectly appraise effectiveness of their own teaching"(p. 323). Thus, it is critical for music educators to develop high-quality assessments that accurately measure student ability. This dissertation centers on the development of rhythmic achievement test for elementary general music students. The validity and reliability of the assessment were investigated. Although results showed that this particular test is not ready to be used for teacher evaluation, it is an initial step in the creation of an instrument to be used for this purpose.

Book excerpt: Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music expresses children's identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should continuously search for ways to tap into children's natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing, moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is appropriate for the children I'm working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children's lives through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of recommended repertoire lists for wind bands are usually organized by level of technical difficulty, not by usefulness in teaching musical concepts such as melody, rhythm, harmony, and texture. Compositions playable by middle school bands that are exemplary for teaching those four concepts are identified in this study. Comprehensive model instructional units for teaching the four musical concepts were created with all nine national standards addressed within the set of four units. The units were taught and evaluated. Student understanding of musical concepts improved as a result of the research, and a majority of the students enjoyed completing the activities included within the units. The instructional units form the basis of a comprehensive curriculum for middle school band.

Book excerpt: The central focus of this capstone was the design and creation of a supplemental rhythm text that could be used in conjunction with a beginning band student's primary method book. It was my feeling that the primary method book was not doing an adequate job of presenting the concept of rhythm to the students. Also, I needed a text that could be used quickly and consistently in small group lessons. My research centered around the purpose and positive qualities of effective assignments as well as appropriate strategies for teaching rhythm to beginning students. The end result was the creation of the rhythm workbook. It contains a variety of strategies for teaching rhythm to the beginning band student. It also has built-in technology-assisted assessment features to gauge student learning in the area of rhythm.
