This book was released on 2013 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research has demonstrated that participation of students in instrumental music coincides with student achievement. Research is limited, however, in nonmusical factors that influence both the participation of students in instrumental music and the retention of instrumental teachers at differing student socioeconomic status. The current study will address this gap in the literature by examining socioeconomic status and its effects on student participation and teacher retention from a sampling of schools inside of neighboring Midwestern school districts. The results of the study indicated that there was an indirect relationship of negligible strength between free and reduced lunch percentage and percentage of student population involved in instrumental music. The study also found correlations of negligible strength between free and reduced lunch percentages and instrumental music teachers' years of experience and also free and reduced lunch percentages and number of instrumental music teachers hired inside of a 5-year period. From the results of the study, there was no significant relationship between socioeconomic status and student participation, teacher tenure, or teacher turnover in instrumental music.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between student participation in instrumental music class and academic achievement, specifically in low socioeconomic status (SES) students. The hypothesis was that students who participate in an instrumental music program will display increased levels of achievement, and that this relationship will be more pronounced among students who receive free and reduced lunches. Participants in this study were 320 students in grades 5 and 6 from an intermediate school in a rural south central Kansas school district. Students ranged in age from 10-12 years. A total of 172 fifth grade students and 148 sixth grade students participated. The Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was the main analytical method employed in this study. Separate ANOVAs were conducted for each of the two dependent measures, reading and mathematics, subscales of the Kansas State Assessment, for both grade levels with music status and lunch status as factors. Some of the findings from this study are consistent with previous research. Results show were no significant interactions found between instrumental music status and lunch status in any of the four ANOVAs. A statistically significant relationship was found between sixth grade instrumental music participation and reading scores, as well as sixth grade instrumental music participation and math scores. These results suggest that duration (i.e., months of instruction) in instrumental music class may be important to increases in academic achievement. Also consistent with previous research, fifth grade results showed a statistically significant relationship between lunch status and reading scores as well as lunch status and mathematics scores; free and reduced lunch students scored significantly lower than their peers.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in growth on the reading and mathematics FCAT 2.0 across varying levels of instrumental music participation by both low- and high-socioeconomic status (SES) middle school students, and to determine whether or not there is a relationship between instrumental music participation and socioeconomic status. The differences between instrumental music participation groups were not found to be statistically significant for both the reading and mathematics FCAT 2.0 growth by high-SES status students, and for reading FCAT 2.0 growth by low-SES status students. The differences between groups were found to be significant for mathematics FCAT 2.0 growth by low-SES students, but a Tukey HSD post-hoc test found no significant differences between the individual groups. The study also found that high-SES students had a higher rate of instrumental music participation in sixth grade, and a lower attrition rate between sixth and seventh grade than the low-SES students.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors previously associated with challenges facing in-service instrumental music educators in northwest North Carolina. Two research questions guided the study: 1) How do instrumental music educators in northwest North Carolina rate factors that may influence their programs? and 2) To what extent are the following factors relevant to instrumental music educators: school size, student involvement, geographic location, budget, and support? The Rural Instrumental Music Teacher Survey was constructed by the researcher using a five point Likert-type scale. The 38-item questionnaire was distributed to 84 instrumental music educators in northwest North Carolina, of which, 56 were returned and used for analysis (N=56). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the questionnaire data. Results from the data suggest that class offerings are perceived to be adequate within perspective schools, but scheduling conflicts are rated as problematic, and to a greater extent with educators who are service multiple schools. Regardless of school size, instrumental music educators choose to participate in large ensemble adjudicated events, with a less clear picture of school participation in small ensemble or solo events. All survey participants agreed they have high student participation in other school and community extra-curricular activities. Geographic location was rated as less of a hindrance for access to music retailers than it was for access to university outreach. Budget considerations received inconclusive results. Music educators valued the support received from all sources and deemed them important to the overall success of the music program; the perceived amount of support received was strongest from parents and school level administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to (1) examine the academic and demographic characteristics of 6th-grade instrumental music students attending selected public schools of contrasting socioeconomic backgrounds, (2) examine the retention patterns of students who were required to enroll in 6th-grade instrumental music compared to those who elected to do so, and (3) construct a predictive model of student retention in middle school instrumental music programs. Individual student data (N = 1052) were gathered from beginning instrumental 6th-grade programs at selected schools in a large, urban school district in Texas. Data included students' 5th and 6th standardized test results, 7th-grade class schedules, and demographic information. Data were analyzed according to the 6th-grade campus the students attended (Title I/non-Title I) and the type of school (elementary school with required music programs or middle school with elective music programs) to identify demographic and academic factors associated with 6th-and 7th-grade music participation. I examined students' schedules for retention patterns associated with individual school scheduling and academic remedial policies. I used logistic regression to develop predictive models of retention based on the following factors: gender, ethnicity, special education, at-risk, gifted, 5th and 6th-grade standardized test results, 5th-grade campus and pre-AP enrollment. Only the 6th-grade standardized tests, either math or reading, predicted retention in instrumental music in all of the school settings. Ethnicity, at-risk, and 5th-grade standardized tests did not predict retention in any school setting. Each school setting was unique in the factors that predicted instrumental music retention. For example, in the Title I setting, giftedness and 6th-grade reading test results predicted retention whereas in the non-Title I setting, gender, pre-AP enrollment and 6th-grade math results predicted retention. I also observed that 6th-grade required music programs were, by default, more inclusive than elective programs, and that the diversity in the student population of the 6th-grade required programs was maintained during the 7th-grade when music became elective. Results from this study suggest that offering only one elective choice per year may exclude access to music education for low academic achievers and reduce enrollment in music ensembles.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined whether or not students that participated in a school sponsored instrumental music program had higher academic achievement and attendance than students that did not participate in a school sponsor instrumental music program. Units of measurement included standardized test scores and attendance, without taking into consideration variables such as gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. This study concentrated on participants from three middle schools (6-8) and three high schools (9-12) in Baltimore County, Maryland. Data were gathered on Maryland School Assessment (MSA) and Maryland High School Assessment (HSA) scores and federally reported school attendance rates were accessed based on the 2007-2008 school year. Four research questions were investigated and six null hypotheses were tested at the .05 level of significance. Independent samples t -tests were used to compare enrollment in instrumental music classes to student's academic achievement and attendance rate. There were statistically significant differences among the high school students enrolled in an instrumental music class and those that were not enrolled in instrumental music class on the English and algebra sections of the HSA, and in the attendance rates. The HSA scores of the students that were enrolled in an instrumental music class were significantly higher on both sections of the test. They also had significantly higher attendance rates than the students that were not enrolled in an instrumental music class. These findings suggest the high school students that participate in a school sponsored instrumental music program have higher academic achievement and attendance rates than high school students that do not participate in a school sponsored instrumental music program. The results of data analysis showed that in middle school there were no statistically significant differences among the students from the three middle schools that were enrolled in an instrumental music class and the middle school students that were not enrolled in an instrumental music class on the reading and mathematics sections of the MSA or in attendance rates. These findings suggest that participation in an instrumental music class on the middle school level had no significant impact on student achievement or attendance.

Download or read book Meanings of Music Participation written by C. Victor Fung and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uncovers the multifaceted nature of music participation through a collection of studies in a wide variety of musical contexts across the United States. The contributors combine personal voices and vivid narratives with scholarship to present many potential meanings of music participation, and lay out research-based implications for lifelong music education. Exploring music participation in choral and instrumental ensembles; school music classes and community groups; in-person and virtual spaces; among children, young adults, and older adults; and for native-born citizens and immigrants, the 10 original studies in this volume present a diverse portrait of musical engagement. The chapters draw out themes including enjoyment, identity development, learner autonomy, social interaction, motivation, commitment, and quality of life, and draw connections between musical meanings and philosophical principles from both Western and Eastern traditions. Linked by interludes that connect the empirical studies with philosophical interpretations, this volume brings together multiple methodologies and perspectives to consider the social, cultural, and psychological meanings of lifelong music participation. It offers a valuable resource for scholars, professionals, and students working in school and community music or music education research, as well as readers interested in general education, social psychology, lifelong learning, and aging studies.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors involved in and influencing the teaching of instrumental music in rural school districts in Ohio. Five overarching research questions guided the study: 1) what do instrumental music teachers cite as factors that influenced their choice to teach in a rural setting, 2) do teachers report that their undergraduate teacher licensure programs prepared them to teach in a rural school environment, 3) how do the background experiences of instrumental music teachers influence their future teaching setting choices, 4) what are common factors that teachers report as affecting their work in rural school districts, and 5) what are some of the characteristics that teachers report as necessary to be successful instrumental music teachers in rural school districts? The study was broken into two phases: Phase I consisted of interviews of teachers who were teaching or had taught instrumental music in rural school districts; Phase II consisted of a grounded survey, based on themes derived from Phase I analysis, that was sent to a random sample of Ohio instrumental music teachers. Results indicated that teachers with personal backgrounds in rural schools were more likely to desire to teach and obtain employment in rural school districts. Also, teachers who moved out of rural school districts altogether were more likely to move to suburban districts rather than urban districts. Respondents who taught in rural districts reported they remained in their first rural school teaching position for three to ten years. No significant difference was found between teachers with and without rural teaching experience in their opinions of teacher licensure preparation as pertained to rural school instrumental music issues. Phase I participants and Phase II respondents agreed that teachers need to be versatile in rural districts, as a portion reported having their job descriptions modified after beginning employment in rural schools. Participants and respondents also lamented a lack of resources affecting the teaching of instrumental music in rural school districts.
