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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-twentieth century, Zoltán Kodály's child-developmental philosophy for teaching music has had significant positive impact on music education around the world, and is now at the core of music teaching in the United States and other English speaking countries. The Kodály Today handbook series is the first comprehensive system to update and apply the Kodály concepts to teaching music in elementary school classrooms. Kodály in the Fifth Grade Classroom provides teachers with a step-by-step road map for developing children's performance, creative movement, and literacy skills in an organic and thoughtful manner. Through six years of field-testing with music kindergarten teachers in the United States, Great Britain, and Hungary (the home country of Zoltán Kodály), authors Micheál Houlahan and Philip Tacka have developed a methodology specifically for 21st century classrooms. Houlahan and Tacka use the latest research findings in cognition and perception to create a system not only appropriate for the developmental stages of first grade students but also one which integrates vertically between elementary music classes. The methods outlined in this volume encourage greater musical ability and creativity in children by teaching them to sing, move, play instruments, and develop music literacy skills. In addition, Kodály in the Fifth Grade Classroom promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills. Although the book uses the Kodály philosophy, its methodology has also been tested by teachers certified in Orff and Dalcroze, and has proven an essential guide for teachers no matter what their personal philosophy and specific training might be. Numerous children's songs are incorporated into Kodály in the Fifth Grade Classroom, as well as over 35 detailed lesson plans that demonstrate how music and literacy curriculum goals are transformed into tangible musical objectives. Scholarly yet practical and accessible, this volume is sure to be an essential guide for kindergarten and early childhood music teachers everywhere.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Sight-reading, the act of performing unfamiliar music at sight, is a valued measure of an instrumentalist's musical training and overall musicianship. Though sight-reading is recognized as an important ability, little is known about the process or how best to prepare students for sight-reading situations. Previous research has suggested the importance of rhythm, finding that most sight-reading errors are rhythm errors, and rhythmic ability is often a strong predictor of sight-reading accuracy. Related research has investigated a variety of approaches to rhythm instruction, including mathematical (numbers-based) approaches and speech cue (word-based) methods. Many studies have suggested that the latter approach may be more suitable to school-age musicians, especially younger students who may lack the conceptual understanding needed to grasp mathematical models. Other research has affirmed the importance of providing students with opportunities to respond individually and receive regular feedback from their instructor. The current study employed two parallel rhythmic instruction strategies in an effort to determine their impact on middle school band members' sight-reading performance. The control group reviewed rhythms using a previously-learned numerical counting system while a treatment group reviewed rhythms using an original speech cue method and performed individually at scheduled intervals. Sight-reading pretests and posttests were scored and compared to measure subjects' sight-reading accuracy. Results showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups on the sight-reading posttest. Mean scores for all subjects, regardless of treatment grouping, improved from pretest to posttest, including significant gains on pitch accuracy and total sight-reading scores. Additionally, important relationships were found regarding the interplay between pitch reading and rhythm reading during melodic sight-reading, suggesting that these processes present two separate and sometimes conflicting tasks. Overall results and an analysis of the scores of top sight-readers reaffirmed the importance of rhythmic ability in determining overall sight-reading accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the students were taught to count rhythms with the "takadimi" rhythm syllable system as developed by Richard Hoffman, William Pelto, and John White. The other two students counted rhythms using the traditional "1-e-&-a" system of counting most familiar to instrumental teachers in the United States. Subjects' experiences in counting rhythms using these systems were compared and contrasted to find what similarities or differences existed. Lessons with each student were also videotaped, and the lessons were transcribed to ascertain trends and differences between each teaching setting and rhythm system. This was also done to have a complete record of each teaching period. The researcher also kept a journal for reflection after each lesson in order to better understand and reflect on student learning. Data collected from the videotape transcripts reflected that students made mistakes that fell into six categories: (1) holding a note or rest too long, (2) playing a note or rest too short, (3) wrong syllable used, (4) unsteady pulse, (5) stops and hesitations due to rushing, and (6) incorrect rhythm. Analysis of this data resulted in identifying specific problems arising from the two rhythm methods used. Results showed that there were no apparent differences in achievement between the two approaches to learning rhythm. The students, regardless of method, generally made the same types of errors when counting and playing rhythms; they made fewer errors when they counted a rhythm before playing it rather than playing it first. The limitations of the study and suggestions for further studies are given.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an audiation-based curriculum on rhythmic music aptitude and rhythm achievement of elementary school students. Specific research questions addressed in this study were (a) Is there a relationship between developmental rhythm music aptitude and rhythm achievement of first, second, and third grade students? (b) Does the relationship between rhythm music aptitude and rhythm achievement change with age? and, (c) Does age have an effect on rhythm achievement? Participants in this study (N = 183) were in grades one through three, from 10 intact homerooms. Students attended a general music class once a week for 45 minutes. The study lasted for five months. All participants engaged in 5 to 10 minutes of formal rhythm pattern instruction, which alternated between duple and triple meter patterns, each week. Improvisation activities were included in the lessons. At the end of the study, all participants took an oral improvisation test in duple and triple meters. Two independent judges scored each improvisation using a 5-point continuous rating scale. All participants also took a paper and pencil meter-labeling test. Gordon's Primary Measures of Music Audiation (PMMA) (PMMA, 1986) was administered as a posttest. The results of this study revealed that there was no relationship between rhythm music aptitude and rhythm achievement. Age had an effect on achievement for aural identification of triple meter. The inclusion of audiation-based techniques, such as rhythm pattern instruction, may improve students' rhythmic music achievement.
