Show moreThe aim of music education is relevance of curriculum content through creativity, involvement, and flexibility. Therefore, the gamut of music programs must be continually and carefully examined to provide what is appropriate in the school music diet for today's technologically advanced child. This project was pursued to satisfy the need for a comprehensive music program in Martin County , Florida, and to assist the writer in guiding her kindergarten and first-grade children in discoveries leading to growth in musical sensitivity. As a result of the investigation, the writer has gained an in-depth understanding of the Manhattanville Music Curriculum Program, the Orff approach, and the Kodaly method as adapted by Mary Helen Richards. Related research revealed that no one method is the panacea in music education. Therefore, the forestated approaches were analyzed, paralleled, synthesized and implemented in structuring the music curriculum emphasizing creativity through involvement and discovery.

Over the last several years the Broward County, Florida school system has experienced a dramatic decline in music programs. In Broward County, as in many school systems across the nation, programs in music and the other arts are finding themselves reduced because of curtailed funding. The problems are constantly debated by school board members and top administration officials. Meanwhile, young people are deprived of music.

Show moreOver the last several years the Broward County, Florida school system has experienced a dramatic decline in music programs. In Broward County, as in many school systems across the nation, programs in music and the other arts are finding themselves reduced because of curtailed funding. The problems are constantly debated by school board members and top administration officials. Meanwhile, young people are deprived of music. A major concern of the music community has been an inability to propose a truly self-justifying curriculum. Therefore, an aesthetically based curriculum supplement has been developed with the intention of cementing the place of music in the overall elementary school curriculum. This will be a major approach to curriculum building with instruction, which will include music theories, musical styles and periods, musicians, composition and historical facts. The objective is to create an understanding of music, establishing music as an integral part of school curriculum.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to develop an administrative model in which a comprehensive general music program can be executed, specifically designed for middle schools in Martin County, Florida, with implications for other middle schools in Florida. In order to construct a model program as well as to identify significant factors that enhance or inhibit this purpose, a survey approach was utilized. This two-fold approach was used to identify the practices, policies and trends in administration and supervision of existing music programs in representative middle schools in Florida and in Ohio. The first method was that of interviewing music personnel by means of a tape recorder during the Florida Music Educators Convention/ Clinic in January, 1976. The second method was construction of a survey questionnaire which was sent to music supervisors and principals of middle schools. The questionnaire was constructed to obtain data from these areas: (1) the manner in which music programs were funded, (2) variation in time allocations for general music, (3) music activities in which pupils participated, (4) integration of music with other subjects, and (5) degree of interest in music at certain grade levels. The questionnaire was sent to twenty-two principals and music supervisors of middle schools in Florida and three to middle school administrators in Ohio. Of the twenty-five total questionnaires delivered, twenty, or 80 percent were returned. Returned questionnaires were divided into two categories according to school enrollment. Schools with fewer than six hundred students were classified as small schools, and schools with more than six hundred students were classified as large schools. In the small school category there were eight schools or 40 percent. Large schools accounted for twelve or 60 percent of the total. Data from the questionnaires were reported and analyzed by means of tables and descriptive analyses. Results of the interviews were tabulated and percentages in each category were reported and analyzed descriptively, without the use of tables. The interviews aided in securing additional data that were useful in interpretation of survey questionnaires, as well as extending scope, depth and better understanding. Chapter Two reports related literature. Related literature was extensive. Chapter Three shows an analysis of data for the entire study and a discussion of general music programs in operation in middle schools surveyed. Chapter Four reflects a discussion of the administrative design and methods utilized in formulating the design for middle schools. Chapter Five records final findings and implications.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to examine teacher perceptions about pertinent factors affecting the successful teaching of the National Standards for Music. Subjects were music specialists and fourth grade generalists from public elementary schools in consenting school districts from throughout the State of Florida. The two groups were administered a survey to glean opinions of the feasibility of implementing each of the nine National Standards for Music by rating seven repeated professional and resource items (contact time, resources, assistance, ability, training, interest, responsibility, and level of assistance). The summed ratings of the dependent variables (consisting of the seven professional and resources items) for each standard were subjected to a two way analysis of variance with repeated measures to determine that significant differences exist with respect to the independent variable of teacher role, with music specialists and general educators as two levels of this variable; and the independent variable of content standard, variable. Statistical significance and interactions were studied within content standards and between music specialists and fourth grade generalists. Results indicate that significant differences exist between music teachers and fourth grade teachers in their perceptions of the feasibility of delivering effective instruction for each standard. Additionally, a significant difference exists between each standard with respect to the overall perceived viability of effective implementation regardless of teacher role. Further, an interaction was identified that indicated differences by both role and standard. More specifically, this research yielded results which indicate that certain standards (History & Culture, Singing, and Analyzing Music) are more feasible for both roles to teach than other standards (Playing Instruments, Improvising, and Composing). It also verified that music specialists are considerably more amenable to the implementation of the nine content standards than the general educators with respect to all seven professional and resource items. Music teachers feel most effective implementing the Evaluating, Listening & Analyzing, and Singing standards while generalists feel most effective implementing the History & Culture, Other Subjects, and Singing standards. Both groups indicated an overall lack of time and resources to effectively teach most standards. Music teachers were less dependent on the assistance of classroom teachers while classroom teachers agreed that they needed the assistance of music teachers to successfully implement most standards.

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.
