Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important work that addresses the complex issues surrounding musical meaning and experience, and the Western traditional justification for including music in education. The chapters in this volume examine the important subjects of tradition, innovation, social change, the music curriculum, music in the twentieth century, social strata, culture and music education, psychology, science and music education, including musical values and education. Additional topics include the origins of mania, aesthetics and musical meaning related to concepts that are well-known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, which are compared to contemporary life. The rise of studies of musical behavior by social psychologists has been an important feature for the last two decades, and the relevance of this development to music education is explored. Articulating the difference between education and entertainment has been central to discussions and debates about the role of music in education since Plato and Aristotle first examined the problem. Many of the questions and issues raised by these two Greek philosophers in ancient Greece about the nature of music and its role in education are highly relevant today, and these are examined in the context of the twenty-first century. The writer stresses that music is a product of specific cultural ways of thinking and doing, and its inclusion in education can only be justified in terms of the importance a particular culture places on its music as a valued art form. The implications for music education are that those teaching music should focus in the ways musicians employ special cultural ways of thinking in their compositions and performance practices, whatever the genre.

Download or read book World Music Pedagogy Volume III Secondary School Innovations written by Karen Howard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Music Pedagogy, Volume III: Secondary School Innovations provides a rationale and a resource for the implementation of World Music Pedagogy in middle and high school music classes, grades 7–12 (ages 13–18). Such classes include secondary general music, piano, guitar, songwriting, composition/improvisation, popular music, world music, music technology, music production, music history, and music theory courses. This book is not a depository of ready-made lesson plans but rather a tool to help middle and high school teachers to think globally in the music classroom. Strategies and techniques of World Music Pedagogy are promoted by discussions of a multicultural music education, descriptive vignettes of realistic teaching environments, conversations with culture-bearers/pedagogues, and prompts for self-reflection. This volume approaches important issues of multicultural education and social justice that are often neglected in music education texts—proving to be a valuable resource for both nascent music educators and veteran practitioners alike.

Download or read book Music Learning as Youth Development written by Brian Kaufman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music Learning as Youth Development explores how music education programs can contribute to young people’s social, emotional, cognitive, and artistic capacities in the context of life-long musical development. International scholars argue that MLYD programs should focus in particular on the curiosity, energy and views of young people affecting the teachers, musicians, pedagogy, programs, and music with which young people interact. From fields of progressive music education, authors share their perspectives on approaches that can lead to new ways of enabling youth learners as they transition to adulthood. A vast range of possible outcomes arising from in-school, afterschool, and community-based music programs are examined in order to highlight the aspects of youth development that music learning is particularly well-suited to support. Following an introductory essay that provides new perspectives on pursuing lifelong musical development, the volume is features two primary sections. The first focuses on case studies exploring several programs through the lens of the transitional stages of music learning as youth development, helping the reader understand key concepts and explore challenges for creating music learning as youth development programs. The second section addresses the broad implications and policy issues of programs described, including discussing why music learning should be conceived of as critical to formative stages of youth development that can lead to a productive and fulfilling life. The conclusion synthesizes the range of perspectives provided by eight contributors and offers implications for life-long human development through music in the 21st century.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new paradigm of music teaching and learning has emerged in secondary schools in the United States. Music educators are taking advantage of innovations in digital technologies by organizing courses in which students learn about and demonstrate music concepts through music technology. Despite the growth of such classes, technology-based music class (TBMC) curricula has not been thoroughly investigated at the national level. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to examine the current state of this emerging paradigm, and to share these insights with a variety of stakeholders including music educators, school administrators, education policymakers, and others who will influence the future of technology-based music classes. This study was organized around three research questions, each of which was formulated to address an area of concern reflected in extant music technology literature. 1.What are the features of technology-based music class (TBMC) curricula? 2.What are music educators' orientations toward TBMC curricula? 3.How do TBMC curricula align with professional music education standards? Data were collected using a researcher designed instrument based on two previously published questionnaires that examine music technology curricula and teacher attitudes toward the curriculum orientations originally proposed by Eisner and Vallance (1974). The Music Technology Curriculum Inventory (MTCI) was distributed nationally through the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) research service and through social media groups interested in TBMC. Data analysis and reporting of the N = 69 eligible responses consisted of descriptive statistics and basic qualitative content analysis of open-ended survey questions. Two exploratory groups were formed to compare agreement with academic rationalism and social reconstruction to select music technology curriculum items. Participants in this study reported high levels of non-traditional music student enrollment and a curricular approach that emphasized composition without the use of standard notation. Music educators seem to be utilizing recently developed web-based music software, and the cost of starting a music technology class appears to be decreasing. The results of this study contribute much needed national level baseline data to a discourse mainly consisting of case studies, advocacy articles, and self-reported descriptions of technology classes and programs.
Download or read book Leadership and Musician Development in Higher Music Education written by Dawn Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership and Musician Development in Higher Music Education informs, challenges and evaluates the central practices, policies and theories that underpin the preparation of future music leaders and the leadership of music in higher education. In higher education, it is often presumed that preparing for professional work is the responsibility of the individual rather than the institution. This anthology draws on the expertise of music practitioners to present the complexities surrounding this topic, exploring approaches to leadership development while addressing prevalent leadership issues from multiple standpoints. Leadership is an inherent part of being a musician: from the creative act through to collaborative engagement, it is fundamental to creating and sustaining a career in music. To expect musicians to develop these necessary skills "on the job", however, is unreasonable and impractical. What support might be given to those looking to negotiate a career as a musician? In fourteen essays, contributors from around the globe explore this question and more, questions such as: How might leadership be modelled for aspiring musicians? How might students learn to recognise, appraise and extend their leadership development? How might institutional leaders challenge curricular and pedagogical norms? Effective leadership development for musicians is vital to the longevity of the profession – Leadership and Musician Development in Higher Music Education is a likewise vital resource for students, educators and future music leaders alike.

Download or read book Music Mind and Education written by Keith Swanwick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Swanwick explores the psychological and sociological dimensions of musical experience and the implications of these for children's development and music education in schools and colleges. Music is seen, with the other arts, as contributing to the growth of mind, with deep psychological roots in play. Swanwick examines the ways in which children make their own music, and confirms that there is an observable sequence of development. His insights into musical experience help to draw together and interpret fragmented psychological work that has been done in the field and make it possible to plan music education in schools, colleges and studios in a more purposeful way. His analysis of the nature of musical experience and music education has consequences both for curriculum development and the assessment of students' work, with special reference given to the National Curriculum and GCSE.
