Book excerpt: The problem studied in this investigation covers the status of the instrumental music program in the public schools of the province of Manitoba during the school year 1962-63 and the teacher-training given at that time to prepare prospective teachers for instructing the students in this phase of music education. Current literature reviewed indicates that educators recognize the value of music in the education of the child and accept the contribution which instrumental music can make as part of the general music course. Although many writers justify the inclusion of instrumental music on the basis of such extrinsic benefits as mental discipline, social adjustment, and improved health, this writer agrees with those authorities who state that the intrinsic values of music are such that the subject requires no extrinsic justification... Some recommendations follow, such as the appointment of a Director of Music for the province, the appointment of full-time Music Supervisors in each school division in Manitoba, and the inclusion in the courses required of all prospective teachers of instruction in the methods of teaching instrumental music. The writer contends that adoption of the recommendations given in the thesis could bring about the establishment of a suitable instrumental music program in the schools, and a teacher-training program in the colleges which would provide a steady flow of qualified teachers to give proper instruction in this field. The dissertation concludes with a brief description of a program for the schools and teacher-training institutions of the province, which might result in providing ample opportunities to every child for the full development of his or her musical potential.

This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook is about trying to define the elements of a successful school instrumental program. Instrumental ensembles take various forms. The most obvious is the 'school band', which consists of any combination of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments (sometimes a string instrument such as a double bass is added). Large instrumental ensembles are often known as 'concert bands', although there are other associated names. Primary schools may have a training band, for beginning players; and a performance band for senior players, the concert band being for intermediate players. Primary and secondary schools may also have a stage or big band (jazz band); and high schools in particular may have smaller ensembles such as a woodwind ensemble or string orchestra. Some schools may have enough strings to field a full symphony orchestra (strings, brass, woodwind, percussion). Worldwide, only a few studies have explored what makes a school instrumental music program successful and these have generally focused more on the capabilities of the director rather than on the program as a whole. There have been even fewer studies that have sought to define the elements that go towards setting up, implementing and running a successful school instrumental music program. This Handbook is drawn from the experiences of those who run such programs as music educators, directors and conductors of school instrumental programs; and those who assist as part of the school community that supports such programs. We hope that this Guide may assist all those who seek to develop a successful instrumental program in their own schools, whether they be professional directors or conductors, school staff, volunteer parents or, of course, the players themselves. Dr. Martin Hardy B.Mus.Ed., M.Mus., A.Mus.A. PhD. is a music educator and professional musician based in Sydney, Australia. As a conductor he has worked with many of the country's finest ensembles and has worked with junior beginner ensembles through to professional ensembles in all genres. Dr. Hardy has had extensive experience as a music educator. His commitment to supporting instrumental programs and teaching music was recognised by a New South Wales Education Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Currently, Dr Hardy is Head Teacher of Creative and Performing Arts at Pittwater High School, on Sydney's Northern Beaches; Musical Director of The Sydney Northern Beaches Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and Conductor of the Northern Beaches Orchestra. He regularly adjudicates instrumental festivals, guest conducts ensembles and provides instrumental workshops for both students and teachers. Dr. Gerry Bates LlB (Hons); Ph.D is a parent volunteer at a High School on Sydney's Northern Beaches who used his background in research and analysis to develop a strategy to turn around the failing instrumental program at that School. He attended grammar school in England in the 1960s and the absence in his own school of any support for music education left him with the motivation that his own children should not be so deprived. This Handbook is based upon the strategy he devised for his own school and the experiences that flowed from it.
