Show moreIt was the purpose of this study to examine data gathered from the elementary classroom teachers of the Broward County school system in the state of Florida. An attempt was made to decide the extent to which music was included in the curriculum, the strengths and weaknesses of instruction of these offerings, and the advisability of planning inservice training programs in music for the classroom teachers to strengthen the total presentation. The method of research employed was a review of the literature and the formulation of three types of questionnaires that were sent to the elementary classroom teachers, principals, and music specialists. The classroom teacher data were coded, transferred to cards, and tabulated electronically. The principal and music specialist data were tabulated by the researcher with the aid of an assistant. The data were presented with reference to background, scheduling, and areas of strengths and weaknesses in musical instruction, through a series of tables and figures, an analysis of each, an interpretation of the results, and recommendations for improving instruction. It was determined that musical opportunities afforded the students of the Broward County school system varied to such a degree that in-service training programs in music need to be planned in the areas of instructing instrumental, creative, and singing activities, as these received the lowest cumulative percentages from the tabulation of the classroom teachers' self-analysis. The strengths of the classroom teachers' musical instruction lay in the utilization of listening activities.

Title: A Composition and Orchestration of an Original Suite for Senior High School Band.
Creator: Pandy, Tony, Robinson, Kenneth H., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: Of all the areas in band literature, the most gratifying and challenging for the composer and orchestrator is found at the senior high school band level. At the present time there is an acute need for adequate material at this level. This condition exists primarily because of the following: (1) arranging perplexities due to lack of technical skills and lack of experience of high school band members, (2) uncertain standardized band instrumentation, (3) the neglect of publishers to meet their...
Show moreOf all the areas in band literature, the most gratifying and challenging for the composer and orchestrator is found at the senior high school band level. At the present time there is an acute need for adequate material at this level. This condition exists primarily because of the following: (1) arranging perplexities due to lack of technical skills and lack of experience of high school band members, (2) uncertain standardized band instrumentation, (3) the neglect of publishers to meet their responsibilities, (4) the inability of composers and arrangers to write specifically for the senior high school band, and (5) the relative youth of the band movement as an adjunct to our culture. In orchestrating any original work, the scorer must recognize the many problems associated with a standardized instrumentation, the registers, functions of instrumental voices, key considerations, accompaniments, solos, and notation trends. In composing original material at the senior high school level, the composer must be aware of instrument ranges, writing technique, interpretation, and intonation problems of the band members; individually and within the section. Of utmost importance is the composer's entire knowledge and application of the forms in which he is writing. It is the sincere hope of this composer that this material may urge other composers to specialize in particular areas and levels of writing and furnish guidelines in study material for those who may discover similar problems in their endeavors.

Title: A Programmed Text in Basic Concepts and Notational Skills for Music Theory Students.

Show moreThis study was undertaken in order to provide an efficient means of presenting those activities farthest removed from music itself such as fundamental concepts and mechanical skills which are a necessary background to further musical growth. Such a presentation, it was reasoned, would enable the student to gain successfully and thoroughly a background necessary for the further study of music theory. This would also provide an opportunity for the instructor to devote classroom time to more musical activities. In view of the past successes of others in the employment of programmed instruction as a means of teaching music, it was decided that a programmed presentation of the material to be included would best serve the stated purposes of the present study. Research into the area of the past employment of programmed instruction in music indicated that a need exists for additional work to be conducted in the field. A comparison of music theory textbooks was made to determine a consensus of opinion regarding the most logical order in the presentation of material. A study of programming techniques was made. A program of instruction in the basic tools of music theory was developed. The author combined information from various music theory textbooks with his knowledge of the subject matter to construct the program presented in chapters two, three, four, and five. The first section of the program is concerned with music notation, a subject often neglected in theory textbooks. The remainder of the program deals with basic music theory material of a more conventional nature. However, it was thought that this material might be more quickly and easily assimilated through the medium of programmed instruction, A section on the nature of musical sound provides necessary information for the music theory student. The same information presented in a classroom teaching situation, however, might prove less effective. Similarly, sections on the construction of major and minor scales, numbering of intervals, and notation of key signatures provide a means for the instructor of theory to avoid unnecessary use of class time in these less musicallysatisfying areas.

Show moreOne of the areas in the field of instrumental instruction which has a pressing need for additional material is that of advanced literature for the interested saxophonist. The purpose of this composition was to explore the problems involved in composing and orchestrating an original suite for a saxophone quintet. The musical form of the suite was chosen since a form of many separate, yet harmonically linked, movements would bring out the greatest number of possible problems including style, orchestration, form, registers, function, characteristics of instruments, key consideration, tempos, change of meter, rhythmic devices, accompaniments, solos, voicings, and harmonic devices. The composition about to be discussed was written for five saxophones: two E flat alto saxophones, two B flat tenor saxophones, and one E flat baritone saxophone. The four movements of the suite are entitled: Allemande--written in 4/4 time, requiring a performance time of approximately 2:40 minutes. Courante--written in 3/4 time, requiring a performance time of approximately 2:30 minutes. Sarabande--written in 3/4 time, requiring a performance time of approximately 2:30 minutes. La Fine--written in 4/4 time, requiring a performance time of approximately 2:20 minutes. It is hoped that this suite will be a definite contribution to the saxophone literature. The instrumentalist who performs this suite will find very few dynamic marks, and, in some cases different phrasing may be used, thus allowing the performer more liberty and freedom of choice.

Show morePurpose. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of a six-week overseas study-tour program on attitudes of worldmindedness. Also investigated were the relationships existing between worldmindedness and students' variables, including the participants' satisfaction with the program. Methodology. From Broward Community College, Florida, 53 students were selected to form the sample population which consisted of (a) an experimental group of 19 students who participated in the overseas program, (b) a control group of 19 non-overseas students who attended a course in Beginning French, and (c) a control group of 15 non-overseas students who were enrolled in American Literature. The three groups responded to biographical questions and were administered the Sampson and Smith (1957) Worldmindedness Scale at the beginning of the experiment, and again at the end, six weeks later. Participants in the tour were also given two questionnaires developed by the investigator to evaluate their satisfaction with the program and perceptions gained overseas. The results were computed using the analysis of variance, t test for correlated means, multiple linear regression, and Spearman Rho techniques. Findings. The findings shows that: (a) There was no significant difference in mean scores between the overseas students and their non-overseas peers as measured by the Worldmindedness Scale. (b) There was no significant difference between the overseas students' pretest and posttest mean scores as measured by the Worldmindedness Scale. However, through subsidiary hypotheses involved in subgroup comparisons, it was found that the students classified as antiworldminded on the pretest scored significantly higher on the posttest. (c) Number of weeks spent abroad was the most significant independent variable accounting for changing attitudes of worldmindedness. Sex and socioeconomic status, although significantly related to worldmindedness, were not considered important. (d) There was low correlation between the participants' satisfaction with the program and worldmindedness even though degrees of satisfaction fluctuated from good to excellent. (e) Finally, factors such as language barrier and cultural shock appeared not to have affected the participants' perceptions during the overseas tour. Conclusions. The lack of positive findings indicated that the overseas program was not successful in promoting attitudes of worldmindedness. However, when considering the experimental group, the results revealed that the overseas experience had been most profitable to the antiworldminded participants. Additional findings showed that among the students' variables selected for the study, number of weeks spent abroad previous to the experiment was the variable influencing a large portion of attitudes of worldmindedness. Finally, high degrees of satisfaction with the program and favorable perceptions acquired toward other cultures lent support to the assumption that overseas programs are among the best means developed to promote international understanding. Discussion. Despite the lack of positive findings--a lack mostly attributed to the shortness of the tour--overseas study-tour programs should be expanded in order to help the antiworldminded individuals to gain a deeper understanding of the world, and efforts to increase cultural interactions while traveling abroad should be emphasized in order to realize the social expectations of the worldminded participants.

Show moreIt is mandatory from the research on the Bornoff and Suzuki methods that the entire gamut of string education owe Dr. Bornoff and Mr . Suzuki for their outstanding contributions, dedication and commitment to the promotion of strings around the world. Their results are so remarkable and so convincing that both authors have attracted teachers and artists from many lands both near and far in an in-depth study into their methods. It is through this greater search for knowledge and understanding that one can become a more successful teacher. This study has been undertaken to satisfy the need for a mora progressive string method or pedagogy in lieu of outdated string methods used year after year. Such a study has enabled the author to gain a thorough and in-depth understanding of the sequential teaching techniques of the Bornoff String Method and the Suzuki String Method and has helped her lead her string students to a more continuous and successful musical achievement. Research conducted on the philosophy and biography of Dr. Bornoff and Mr. Suzuki has shed important light on the "make-up" of their methods. A study of comparisons and similarities of both approaches was conducted and presented in Chapter VI. The author utilized information acquired from all available literature (periodicals, books, reports and music) and summer workshops along with her teac:bing experience to construct Chapter V on the teaching techniques of both methods. In the conclusion, the author reveals her combined plan of the teaching techniques of both methods, according to the highest of ideals for developinc one's potential to the fullest.

Show moreThe purpose of this investigation was to become familiar with Christian sacred music written from the period of the Renaissance through the twentieth century. The procedure for obtaining the information necessary to complete this investigation was through extensive study and research from many books of several libraries. This type of investigation is based upon historical facts rather than philosophy and supposition. This investigation has revealed that the major periods of musical history are as follows: (1) Renaissance (2) Baroque (3) Classical (4) Romantic-Impressionism (5) Contemporary. The major types of sacred music that resulted from these periods are the Mass, oratorio, Passion music, cantata, sacred opera, anthem, chorale and motet. Some of the important conclusions of this investigation are that: (1) Each period is a product of the times, influenced by wars, religion and politics, which affected the types of music. (2) The classification of music in accordance with productions for concert, small and formal churches are as follows: Concert: Oratorios, Mass, sacred opera, Passion music. Formal Church: Mass, cantata, anthem, motet and chorale. Small Church: Cantata, anthem, motet, chorale and hymn. (3) Italy, France, England and Germany had the greatest influence on the types and styles of music. (4) The most significant types of music from these periods are the Mass and Oratorio (in that order). (5) The Renaissance produced the most sacred music of all these periods. (6) The Romantic period produced the least amount of sacred music of these periods. (7) The source of the major sacred works were mostly from the Bible; more specifically from Psalms and the Gospels. (8) Bach is the composer who has retained the most popularity and is significant in composing the largest number of sacred works throughout these periods. (9) Of the major composers listed in the thesis (excluding those of the Contemporary period), Liszt probably wrote the least amount of sacred music, although he was deeply concerned with the Divine Service of the Church.

Show more"European Music and History Outline" is a reference guide for students. The scope is very broad and details will be found in books listed in the bibliography. All too frequently students study the development of music and the political history of Europe as two distinct and separate bodies of knowledge. The two, however, not only ran parallel, but were intertwined and interdependent. Often the "why" of a development or trend in music is explained by the political, social, and economic conditions that existed at the time. Since music, art, architecture, and literature are our only communication from the past, we are dependent on them to gain any insight into the political events and the attitudes and emotions of the people themselves. This facinating interaction is described by Henrick Van Loon in The Arts. In the outlines, the history progresses from one ruling monarch to the next with only the most significant events and people listed during specific reigns. The composers are listed chronologically by date of birth but are placed parallel to the events that occurred during their adult years. Outstanding composers are underlined in red. An index has been added to provide an easy reference to time and place in history.

Recently emphasis has turned toward discovering the new role music can play in the everyday lives of people in relation to use of leisure time. Since music has become an integral part of the curriculum, the purpose of this paper was to discover whether music contributes to the education of the educable mentally retarded, and if so, to what extent. Professional literature related to this subject was reviewed and summarized. The characteristics, problems, and family life of these children were discussed. Persons who teach mentally retarded children were interviewed to determine the nature of the problems involved in teaching these children music. Questions regarding the behavior of the students toward music, correlating music with other subjects, materials, length of music periods, curriculum content and other pertinent areas were asked the interviewees. After conducting an item analysis of the data secured from the interviewees, the researcher determined that: 1. Music opens the doors for the teaching of other subjects. 2. The characteristics of the retards should be kept in mind when planning lessons. 3. A variety of materials was used to assist in the teaching of music. 4. Mentally retarded children enjoy the same activities as other children, however, consideration must be given to their mental age and social maturity when planning lessons. 5. Music can be effectively used to promote social growth.

Professional literature relating to the discovery approach was reviewed and summarized. Conclusions and implications for music education were drawn from these summaries. An examination of the philosophical implications of educational trends and the nature of learning was also made. This examination was made to gather perspective on the need for evaluating and exploring educational approaches and methods that affect learning. It was concluded that no one method or approach can be accepted as the all encompassing answer in music education. However, the discovery approach does hold great promise as another way of teaching music to the child in a creative manner. Through the discovery approach the child can be given the opportunity to experience personal success and expertise in the art of music. He can enjoy exploring and discovering the elements of music as learning evolves from his personal perspective and point of view.

Show moreTeaching the total percussion class in the junior high school is an entirel,y new concept. Total percussion is currently being taught in colleges and some of the larger high schools throughout the n tion. The total percussion class in the junior high school has no text or guide for the pupil or the teacher. Th author of this paper endeavors to present a text for the junior high school instrumental music teacher. The content have been tried during the last six years by the author and proven successful Student in many percussion classes have been taught to specialize on only one instrument. In many cases the teacher has found that specialization on snare drum or bass drum is a handicap when the student is asked to perform music written for other percussion instruments. The total percussion classes are usually composed of students who have the desire to become proficient on more th one percussion instrument. The instrumental music teacher should attempt to select students with a background in piano or some other melodic instrument, and enlist students with good physical coordination. A major criteria in the selection of a text for the total percussion class is the inclusion of basic fundamentals on all of the percussion instruments: bells, marimba, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals and tympani. Starting with the rote to note method, the teacher should lead the class into the fundamental stick positions, rhythmic counting, dynamics, and other basic problems of percussion instruments. At the end of the first year of study the students should be introduced to more advanced percussion such as trap sets and multi-percussion solos and ensembles. More complex rhythmic patterns are presented to the class in addition to an expanded repertoire. Musical independence and leadership is encouraged and critical observations of other students' performance as well as self criticism is developed. The total percussion class in the public schools is very new. More and more instrumental music teachers and band directors are arriving at the conclusion that the only solution to the demands of the contemporary composers on percussionists is the total percussion class. The author found that a text for the total percussion class for junior high school students was not available. It was with this thought that the author endeavored to write a text for junior high school instrumental music teachers who mi ght be interested in teaching a total percussion class.

The themes of the programs chosen were such that they correlate closely with social study units. Considerable research was conducted to find the most appropriate songs and dances from many sources. Vhen there were none, the author composed or created new material which was made available for elementary teachers. These programs may be adapted to meet the needs of individual schools. Teachers could modify or expand them to meet their own classroom situations. It was discovered that there was little related literature directed to the problem of preparing music programs for the elementary school. Dissertation Abstracts, issues of the Journal of Research in Music Education and Music Educators Journal were reviewed and it was found that an apparent void existed in this area. Additional programs may be developed in many other areas of the elementary music curriculum by those who are interested in this area of research.

Show moreAs all music must, Jewish music of temple and synagogue has changed, and changed again through the long centuries. Because of an enduring interest in the old rituals and the old ways; however, it might be said that the music of Judaism still contains small nuggets of the musical form used in the days of the Prophets. Certainly, in recent years, musicologists have shown increasing interest in reconstructing the ancient patterns. They have become more and more certain that the musical service of the temple, as initiated by David, was carried by the Judaeo-Christians to the early Christian church and was the basis of the music of the Catholic liturgy. The early modes, or scale patterns, of the Jews were closely related to those of the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Babylonians; the source was primarily Oriental. However, just as a new moral value made their religion unique, the Jews added an individual meaning to music that provided the foundation of Western musical style. When the people of Israel wandered all over the world during the past two thousand years, their music went with them. The scale patterns and melody patterns changed according to the ways of the particular country and the style of the day. Through the centuries the "People of the Book" made an effort to remember the old chants. At first generation after generation of priests chanted the Scripture and transmitted the musical tradition orally. Hand signals came into being to help remember the particular pattern and punctuation given each word. Many years later written symbols were substituted for the hand signals and each symbol represented a melodic pattern and mode. Slowly a more precise system evolved from this primitive writing until today's notation came into use. This particular musical service was based on ancient modal and melodic patterns. The portion of Scripture in which each response was found determined which mode or cantillation (chant) was used in the song. In many of the responses, the antiphonal or responsorial form was used for this form was one of the most common in the ancient Orient. As much as possible, the mode and cantillation chosen was that of the Yemenite, Babylonian, or Sephardic-Oriental sections of the Jewish world. These peoples, especially the Yemenites, remained relatively free of outside influences over the years and their music could be considered purer in style. The harmony was designed to combine the sound of an era when harmony was nonexistent with today's insistence upon harmonic variety. The whole of the service was written to provide listeners with a brief glimpse into ancient musical history, using a portion of the musical heritage given Western civilization by the Jewish nation.
