A research project at the Orff Institute of the Mozarteum University Salzburg (Austria) is working on an adaption of the music therapeutic AQR-Tool (Assessment of the Quality of Relationship) for pedagogical use. This concerns the assessment of the developmental level and the child’s ability to relate as well as the educational interventions. The content and methodical decisions of teachers in (elemental) music and dance teaching should be subjected to a critical, empirical consideration with regard to their influence and their effect on the quality of the relationship of children in heterogeneous learning groups.

The Dance on Paper: The effect of notation-use on learning and development in dance

December 2000 · Research in Dance Education

Edward C. Warburton

This paper investigates the effect of movement notation on learning and development in dance. Specifically, if children read dance notation, as they would read a musical score, in what ways do their thinking in and about dance change, if at all? The study involves 96 children ages 8-9 who participated in an 8-week dance programme based on Labanotation. A control group was exposed to the new dance ... [Show full abstract] programme but not the extra notational intervention. The Assessment of Prime Actions in Creative Movement (APACM) was used to collect pre- and post-test data. Results indicate that putting the dance on paper helps young children learn how to recognize and understand dance when they see it. Dance instruction based on notation-use produced greater gains in recognition abilities, good integration of the recognition skills needed for development in dance, and early skill in performing movement.

Teaching Improvisation through Melody and Blues-Based Harmony: A Comprehensive and Sequential Approa...

September 2017 · Music Educators Journal

Leila Heil

This article describes a sequential approach to improvisation teaching that can be used with students at various age and ability levels by any educator, regardless of improvisation experience. The 2014 National Core Music Standards include improvisation as a central component in musical learning and promote instructional approaches that are contextual, integrate musical concepts, and facilitate ... [Show full abstract] group interaction. The described approach focuses on the how and the why of improvisation instruction, offering a pedagogical guide through the teaching process using concepts of melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, and formal structure. Rather than a collection of isolated activities, the sequence builds on skills and concepts that are applied in authentic and meaningful group interactions. Examples are based on the blues and teaching techniques commonly used by jazz educators that can be adapted to any musical genre.

Modulation in classical music

June 2016

Jaime Kardontchik

What makes a collection of notes a good piece of music, something that gets stuck in our brain? Why is it that we keep listening and enjoying the music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven – composers long dead two hundred years ago? What makes a piece of music memorable? What are the rules of the grammar behind the music of the great masters? If we can understand the rules – then we could also teach ... [Show full abstract] them to kids. The first chapter explains in plain words (or tones) the grammar of classical music. The next chapter exemplifies the modulation techniques used by Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. The final chapter provides a practical method that could be used by kids (or any adult interested in composing good music) to learn the basics (and some more) directly from the works of the great composers of classical music.

Working in music: Becoming a performer-teacher

November 2004 · Music Education Research

Janet Mills

Performer-teachers are defined here as performers for whom instrumental teaching is integral to their professional identity. This study explores the careers of performer-teachers who are alumni of a UK conservatoire. Performer-teachers emerge as focused 'career performers' who fall among those experts known as 'accomplished novices', rather than 'answer-filled experts.' Their enthusiasm for ... [Show full abstract] learning broadly reflects their belief that teaching informs their performing, and helps to explain why teaching is integral to their professional identity. Students who aspire to become professors could model themselves on their teachers: by ensuring that their repertoire remains broad and by drawing lessons about performing from activities including teaching.

Diane C. Persellin

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of teaching models, musical aptitude, and home environment on vocal pitch accuracy of young children. Kindergartners (N = 134) in nine intact music classrooms were taught twice each week for eight months by one of three music teachers using one of the following treatments: A: the teacher always sang for, but never with, the children, B: the ... [Show full abstract] teacher always sang with, but never for, the children, and C: the teacher sang both for and with the children as she deemed appropriate. Children were pre- and post-tested using a Vocal Accuracy Assessment Instrument (Youngson & Persellin, 2001). The Primary Measures of Music Audiation (Gordon, 1979) and Home Musical Environment Scale (Brand, 1986) were also administered. Results indicated that all 3 treatments resulted in improved vocal accuracy, but no treatment effect significantly differed from the others. A significant positive relationship was found between the home musical environment and improvement in vocal accuracy (p = .0148).

General Music as a Cure for the High-Stakes Concert

March 2010 · General Music Today

Matthew D. Thibeault

The author argues that concerts create pressures on the music curriculum similar to those high-stakes tests generate on the general curriculum. Three similarities are presented and discussed using the example of a concert the author organized: first, teaching to the test and the narrowing of curricular goals; second, evaluation by a single source of evidence; and, finally, absence of student ... [Show full abstract] voice and choice. A critical difference between concerts and high-stakes tests, however, is that music teachers design their concerts. The last half of the article presents ideas to take advantage of this difference in order to confront the commonly found pressures. The ideas focus learning around ensemble experiences through general music practices. Many of the examples take advantage of technology and multimedia to afford students opportunities to work with repertoire in new ways.
