This book was released on 2014 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of literature about teaching in urban settings has focused on the experiences of educators and students in large urban settings (Costa-Giomi, 2008; Fitzpatrick, 2008, 2011), and has been general classroom focused (Elpus & Abril, 2011; Glenn, 2005; McEachin & Brewer, 2012; Young, 2007). A smaller body of literature about teaching music classes in urban settings exists (Kinney, 2010; Bernard, 2010), while less still exists about the status of orchestra programs in urban settings (Fitzpatrick, 2011, Hamann & Gillespie, 1998; Smith, 1997). Little research examines midsize urban educational settings by state, and less still has examined the status of orchestra programs in midsized urban settings in Virginia. The purpose of this study was to examine the status of middle and high school string orchestra programs in Virginia public schools located in midsized urban settings. String orchestra directors (N = 30) were invited to complete an online survey of 26 questions. Nineteen of the orchestra directors participated. Fifteen participants completed the survey, while four surveys were incomplete. Individual data for study participant's responses to multiple choice and Likert scale responses were collected, compared and analyzed. Data for free-response questions were transcribed for each individual participant before being grouped according to observable grouped theme categories. Results of this study suggested participants possessed a high level of training (master's or doctorate degree), and reported having a high level of job satisfaction. With regard to ethnicity, 87% (n = 13) of the participants indicated that their own ethnicity was not reflective of the majority ethnicity of the student population with which they worked. A majority of the participants (66%) indicated that they had experienced some level of difficulty when recruiting students for their school's orchestra program. A number of shared themes were identified in the participants' free response transcriptions. Participants shared the values of showing respect to, caring for, and having high expectations for their students. Respondents emphasized being organized, and having classroom management skills. Other themes included the importance of having adequate and effective teacher preparation; access to instruments and other resources; and the support of parents, administrators, and colleagues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many previous studies indicated that the overall number of school string/orchestra programs in the United States has increased, string/orchestra programs have been substantially underrepresented in school music curricula. In addition, the programs have been inequitably distributed geographically, and have tended to conform particular trends in their characteristics and demographics of string teachers and students. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics and trends in the profile of current school string programs. Also, by investigating the inception of the programs, this study aimed to identify practical ways in creating a school string program. A 37-item questionnaire was developed to collect data. The participants were string/orchestra teachers who were teaching in public schools and members of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). A total of 130 teachers participated in this study. The result of this study indicated that string programs remain concentrated in suburban areas. Additionally, while string student population has become more diverse and reflective of the overall student population, the racial/ethnic makeup of string teachers is still predominantly White. This study also revealed that the idea of creating a new string program was most often initiated by either school music teachers or outreach program instructors/directors, and the first step typically involves discussing the idea with school administrators.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 1.5 million students are enrolled throughout the 244 school districts within North Carolina public schools (NC Department of Public Instruction, 2018). A recent survey by North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (2016) indicated that approximately 70% of students participate in music. Music included multiple forms of instrumental music such as band and orchestra, as well as vocal music such as chorus and show choir. While 70% of students participate in music, the specific enrollment in string orchestra programs as unclear. This action research study addressed the problem specifically concerning the status of string orchestra programs in North Carolina public schools. Understanding the status of string orchestra programs impacted all stakeholders including teachers, students, parents, and administrators. The purpose of this study was to identify best practice strategies that may contribute to the establishment of new string orchestra programs, as well as how improved recruitment and retention practices may increase enrollment in existing string programs. North Carolina Public School string teachers served as study participants. The research methodology was a qualitative case study. A questionnaire served as the primary sources of data collection. the results of the study indicated that the majority of string teachers are not the same ethnicity as their students. Results also indicated that many participants taught in schools with high populations of students from low-income families. These results are not typical of trends in existing literature. Since this study laid the groundwork to prove that trends in existing literature are not the same in North Carolina, future research may be conducted to follow the patterns of enrollment, recruitment, and retention of string orchestra programs in Title I schools.
