Book excerpt: The marching bands at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have entertained millions nationwide with precision, choreography, and musicianship. With the combination of precision-style marching and the African-American music culture, these bands have changed the perception of the football halftime performance. The music graduates of these marching band programs often follow the philosophy taught at their respective alma maters and impart it to their students. While most mainstream high school bands implement corps-style marching, urban high schools incorporate the style of the historically black schools. Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida, and Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee, are among the schools that garner the attention of sports fans throughout the country. However, there is a shortage of instructional materials related to the historically black college and university (HBCU) marching style. Most marching band resources are centered on corps style because of its popularity in the mainstream. Teaching Marching Band in Urban Schools is a college course for music education majors to equip them to teach the historically black college and university marching band style. As an attempt to measure the effectiveness of the course, a questionnaire was given to a random sample of band directors and liaisons of the HBCU band community. There were fifteen responses out of the forty questionnaires that were requested. Most of the respondents expressed the need for materials and workshops for teaching the HBCU style. Most of the band directors stated that a curriculum for teaching HBCU-style marching would be beneficial. Some favored a course that solely covered the HBCU style, while others favored a mixture of the HBCU style with other styles. Most respondents recommended there should be support and materials on teaching the style on the university level.
Download or read book Urban Music Education written by Kate Fitzpatrick-Harnish and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing discourse surrounding urban music education suggests the deficit-laden notion that urban school settings are "less than," rather than "different than," their counterparts. Through the lens of contextually-specific teaching, this book provides a counternarrative on urban music education that encourages urban music teachers to focus on the strengths of their students as their primary resource. Through a combination of research-based strategies and practical suggestions from the author's own experience teaching music in urban settings, the book highlights important issues for teachers to consider, such as culturally relevant pedagogy, the "opportunity gap," race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, musical content, curricular change, music program development, student motivation, and strategies for finding inspiration and support. Throughout the book, the stories of five highly successful urban music teachers are highlighted, providing practical, real-world advice for music teachers across the domains of general, choral, band, and string music teaching. Recognizing that the term "urban" can encompass a wide variety of different school and community settings, this book challenges all teachers who work in under-served and under-resourced settings to take a critical look at their own music classroom and work to tailor their pedagogy to meet the particular needs of their students.

Book excerpt: Many high school marching bands in urban school districts across the United States incorporate the marching style used by Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) programs. This research aims to investigate the details of teaching the HBCU marching style and provide recommendations on developing more instructional materials and scholarly resources on teaching the marching style. This study will benefit music educators who need more experience in the HBCU style and HBCU music education graduates who are novices in teaching. The band directors of the high school band programs are commonly HBCU graduates who traditionally follow the philosophy taught at their alma maters. Although marching band technique books include assorted style performance styles, there is a comprehensive overview of the HBCU marching style. The methodology of this research requires a qualitative descriptive approach. To analyze the opinions, attitudes, and experiences of the band directors who incorporate the HBCU marching style, the researcher will create a questionnaire distributed via social media groups, email, and personal inboxes. The researcher will also observe video performances, documentaries, and recorded interviews to analyze the intricacies of the marching style. With great expectations, the findings of this research explained the shortage of instructional resources for the HBCU marching style, examined the instructional methods of teaching the marching style effectively, and offered recommendations on how to develop instructional materials.

Download or read book Building a Physical Education Marching Band Curriculum written by Michael Fiedler and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to help develop interest in the arts, and offer students diverse opportunities toward completing their graduation requirements in ways that are personally relevant and rewarding, many schools have begun implementing combination physical education/marching band course offerings. Various state governments have different criteria for how schools must legally approach integration of physical education/marching band classes, but the main task for teachers of these classes remains largely the same - to create a well-rounded curriculum that teaches the overarching physical education standards alongside the music standards. Schools may choose to offer physical education/marching band for physical education credit or fine arts credit depending on the laws and policies that govern their state and district. This often results in one set of teaching standards possibly outranking the other in terms of mandated focus. The purpose of this project is to offer a guide to music teachers assigned to teach PE marching band for physical education credit and give those teachers some insight into the various legal obligations they must meet for teaching certification in physical education, the varied professional opinions of PE marching band in place of a standard PE course, and a model curriculum with exemplary lesson plans that they may choose to use in their first year teaching the subject.
