Download or read book Facilitating student achievement in the instrumental music performance classroom written by Ann Marie Jones and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instrumental music educators often experience that students are unable to self-regulate and be self-reliant musicians at an effective level to foster advanced musical achievement. Self-regulation and reliance are extremely important skills for music students, who must develop their abilities through regular individual practice. Students who are not able to practice effectively on their own often loose motivation and drop music studies. Research in education points toward metacognition development as a possible solution to low student achievement. This project focuses on understanding metacognition and how it can be fostered in music students through the deliberate planning, instructing, and assessments of the instrumental music teacher.

Download or read book Teaching and Evaluating Music Performance at University written by John Encarnacao and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh perspectives on teaching and evaluating music performance in higher education are offered in this book. One-to-one pedagogy and Western art music, once default positions of instrumental teaching, are giving way to a range of approaches that seek to engage with the challenges of the music industry and higher education sector funding models of the twenty-first century. Many of these approaches – formal, informal, semi-autonomous, notated, using improvisation or aleatory principles, incorporating new technology – are discussed here. Chapters also consider the evolution of the student, play as a medium for learning, reflective essay writing, multimodal performance, interactivity and assessment criteria. The contributors to this edited volume are lecturer-practitioners – choristers, instrumentalists, producers and technologists who ground their research in real-life situations. The perspectives extend to the challenges of professional development programs and in several chapters incorporate the experiences of students. Grounded in the latest music education research, the book surveys a contemporary landscape where all types of musical expression are valued; not just those of the conservatory model of decades past. This volume will provide ideas and spark debate for anyone teaching and evaluating music performance in higher education.

Download or read book Learning Outcomes in Two Divergent Middle School String Orchestra Classroom Environments written by Bernadette Butler Scruggs and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated whether and in what ways a learner-centered instrumental music education classroom environment may nurture musical growth and independence. The mixed-methods design incorporated quantitative and qualitative measures to compare performance outcomes, musical growth, and learner and teacher dispositions in learner-centered and teacher-centered middle school orchestra classrooms. Quantitative measures included a Performance Assessment Instrument and a researcher-designed survey of student perceptions and attitudes. Qualitative measures included classroom observation, student and teacher interviews, and teacher journal entries. Research participants were four teachers, two of whom taught using a teacher-centered approach, and two of whom were oriented to learner-centered classroom strategies through a professional development program taught by the researcher. The teachers implemented learner-centered or teacher-centered environments in four intact classrooms that included 155 student participants. Learner-centered methods were based on democratic (Dewey, 1938; Woodford, 2005) and constructivist (Vygotsky, 1978; Wiggins, 2001) principles as well as research and pedagogical literature detailing the characteristics of learner-centered classrooms (McCombs & Whisler, 1997; Schuh, 2004). These included peer tutoring and collaboration; student conducting, solicitation and incorporation of student input; and facilitation of student leadership. I found no differences in music performance outcomes between learner-centered and teacher-centered ensembles. However, learner-centered students exhibited increased musical growth and greater musical independence as compared with students in the teacher-centered environment, and indicated higher perceptions than teacher-centered students of choice and leadership opportunities in their classrooms. Learner-centered teachers reported increased engagement and leadership skills from their students. Results of this study indicate that music ensemble teachers can incorporate a learner-center classroom environment that engages students musically, promotes independence and leadership, and involves students in higher order thinking while attaining performance standards at or above those expected of middle-school orchestra students.

Download or read book The Science and Psychology of Music Performance written by Richard Parncutt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-18 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What type of practice makes a musician perfect? What sort of child is most likely to succeed on a musical instrument? What practice strategies yield the fastest improvement in skills such as sight-reading, memorization, and intonation? Scientific and psychological research can offer answers to these and other questions that musicians face every day. In The Science and Psychology of Music Performance, Richard Parncutt and Gary McPherson assemble relevant current research findings and make them accessible to musicians and music educators. This book describes new approaches to teaching music, learning music, and making music at all educational and skill levels. Each chapter represents the collaboration between a music researcher (usually a music psychologist) and a performer or music educator. This combination of expertise results in excellent practical advice. Readers will learn, for example, that they are in the majority (57%) if they experience rapid heartbeat before performances; the chapter devoted to performance anxiety will help them decide whether beta-blocker medication, hypnotherapy, or the Alexander Technique of relaxation might alleviate their stage fright. Another chapter outlines a step-by-step method for introducing children to musical notation, firmly based on research in cognitive development. Altogether, the 21 chapters cover the personal, environmental, and acoustical influences that shape the learning and performance of music.

Download or read book Instrumental Music Teaching written by Robert Lennon and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing a musical instrument is not only immensely enjoyable and satisfying but has far-reaching implications for educational achievement and personal development that can last an entire lifetime. Yet, of the thousands upon thousands of young people who begin to learn musical instruments every year, only a relatively small proportion continue playing long enough to reap the untold, undisputed benefits. 'Instrumental Music Teaching' provides experienced and inexperienced teachers alike with remedies for this no less than tragic state of affairs, based on the author's extensive experience as a music educator. This approachable but thought-provoking book proposes simple, straightforward strategies for ensuring that learners' initial motivation for taking up their instrument is nurtured and maintained from the very first lesson. While outlining accessible approaches to developing instrumental technique within a vibrant musical context, the author provides workable solutions for teachers who, more often than should be necessary, are obliged to deal with the disillusionment that results from a realisation that playing an instrument is not easy: a realisation that, all too frequently, leads to loss of interest and eventual withdrawal from an activity that could be life-enhancing if only it were continued a little longer. In addition to teaching techniques that combine the essential elements of instrumental playing with broader competencies such as improvisation, composition and aural awareness, imaginative methods of teaching musical notation together with means of ensuring effective practice, and of communicating with students in ways that are meaningful and motivating, are proposed. All are underpinned by sound rationale resulting from the author's extensive interest in, and research into, the educational value of musical activity, as well as established psychological theories and more recent discoveries in neuroscience. This eminently readable and readily comprehensible book will provide any aspiring or established instrumental music teacher, who is open to some re-evaluation of conventional dogma, with a means of approaching their critically important role with confidence, and of deriving the greatest possible satisfaction from their teaching, whether it be of beginners or more advanced players. This work is derived, in large part, from an earlier, no longer available, book by the same author entitled 'Teaching Young Instrumentalists'. In the present volume, the shared material is refined, developed and restructured, omitting the sections on group instrumental teaching which form the basis of a separate title.

This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trying to understand the complex interplay between effective learning and personal experience is one of the main challenges for instrumental music education. Much of the research that focuses on effective learning outcomes often adopts experimental methodologies that do not allow for a thorough examination of the subjective and social processes that accompany each student's musical journey; on the contrary, contributions dedicated to the detailed analysis of the learners' lived experience often do not offer generalizable outcomes to different types of learning and teaching.
Download or read book Studio Based Instrumental Learning written by Dr Kim Burwell and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kim Burwell investigates the nature of lesson interactions in studio-based instrumental teaching and learning. Focusing on a single case study of two clarinet lessons, Burwell analyses collaborative lesson activity and creates a framework to support reflection among practitioners as they continually develop their work, not only experientially - through the tradition of 'vertical transmission' from one musician to another - but collaboratively, through the 'horizontal' sharing of good practice.
