Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to capture an overview of what it is like to be a rural school music educator in 2015 and identify areas for further research on the subject of rural school music education. A survey consisting of 38 questions requiring either a constructed response or multiple-choice answers was used to acquire the data sample. On the topic of teacher preparation, results revealed that a slight majority felt that teacher preparation courses did not prepare them for working in a rural school. The most common responses were that the institutions were not in touch with the realities of today’s classroom teaching faculty lacking in practical classroom teaching experience and a need for more emphasis on administrative and professional duties. There were many strong comments that directly credited their alma maters by name for preparing them to work in a rural setting by bringing recent graduates to recount their experiences at their first job, providing classes over multiple settings, and preparing students to teach in small schools. Remarks also pertained to the isolation and the challenges of working in a geographically isolated location as well as the impact on the educator’s spouse or family. Bias, whether real or perceived, was reported by less than half of respondents. Bias areas were school location, ensemble size, school size, and socio-economic status of their students, low expectations from their peers, uneven application of ratings, instrumentation, and unnecessary remarks from adjudicators. Retention of music educators appears to be an issue at rural schools. Responses received in this student indicated a high turnover at approximately half of the schools where the respondents were currently located with one respondent noting that they were the 10th director in 11 years. The subject of limited resources covered multiple areas: facilities, performance library, ensemble size, professional development and funding/budget. The majority of responses indicated that their current facilities were adequate for their needs. While published arrangements were used by a majority as performance material, others rearranged published material, did their own arrangements or had a peer do arrangements for the ensembles. Professional development was noted as not offered by the employing district in a majority of responses. Funding and budgets was noted as having been static by the largest group of responses. A follow up study focusing on the impact of budget reductions on rural school music education and teacher preparations could prove beneficial to determine the perceived value of music education in rural schools.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural elementary general music education has not been a well-researched topic even though rural schools account for the education of nearly a fifth of public school students in the United States. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of rural public elementary school principals in Alabama and Mississippi toward elementary general music education. Additionally, the study examined any relationships between principal attitudes and personal music experience, principal attitudes and music experience at the secondary and post-secondary levels, and principal attitudes and the music program at their school. Results of an electronic survey (n = 42) revealed that there is a significant relationship between principal attitudes and music experience at the secondary and post-secondary levels. Of participating schools, only 39% offered music instruction from a certified music teacher. According to school principals, impediments to their schools offering an elementary music program included budget, staffing, and time in the school schedule which was impacted by state policies regarding time spent on tested subjects. Keywords: rural education, elementary general music education, principal attitudes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some perspectives of educators and community members in small rural school districts fail to see the academic benefits of music education and the importance of integrated forms of study, despite the many clear connections that can be seen between the general music curriculum and other content areas such as math and language arts. Interdisciplinary studies in general music education are essential for student growth across content areas. This study reveals the importance of music integration and interdisciplinary music studies in small rural elementary schools. It gives example lessons of mathematics and language arts in the elementary music curricula. Guided by literature and observational data, this qualitative case study explores interdisciplinary studies in elementary general music classrooms. Findings on interdisciplinary music connections across content areas, music integration, and music and the brain have emerged as themes through exploring existing literature and observations of music classes in small rural elementary schools. Since music education longs to be understood, this study and the interdisciplinary lessons provided could benefit elementary general music education teachers and advance elementary teachers’ knowledge and understanding across content areas. This project exemplifies the intersection between music education and learning across content areas, specifically mathematics and language arts. Further, this study and lessons encourage further research by music educators to find lessons and connections that increase student learning across content areas. Further research could also seek information regarding the perceptions of community members and educators towards music education in small rural elementary schools.
