The implication of this is that music has a profound ability to alter the way we think, feel and behave. Many Nigerian songs are full of ethos, a crying baby is often calmed and lured to sleep by her mother’s use of gentle lullabies. What else can do this, if not the melodious supremacy of musical art? Similarly, musicians, through the use of artistic language, systematically employ Pathos in their musical compositions as evidenced in most of their dirges. This study X-ray various kinds of parodies the Nigerian society has formed about the music study which directly or indirectly have contributed to poor enrollment of students in the music programme of both Colleges of education and Universities in Nigeria, and through the application of Ethos and Pathos, some of these misconceptions were debunked. The study employs a survey research design. The population for the study comprises one hundred (100) respondents. Sample comprises fifty (50) respondents. Data is gathered through the use of questionnaire. The study reveals that the choice of anyone to study music does not necessary mean that he or she is lazy. The researchers recommend that people should stop believing fallacies about music education and see it as a viable and gainful enterprise.","PeriodicalId":158516,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Nigerian Musicologists","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134364672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The value of moonlight songs and tales in traditional society cannot be overemphasised. This important traditional musical genre plays a significant role in conveying educational, traditional, cultural, religious and social principles to children. This paper examines the means of observable shift from the oral medium of transmission of moonlight play songs to radio and television. Despite the immense qualities of moonlight play songs, they are more or less becoming endangered species in the present-day society. The reasons for this development could be partly owing to incessant killings in the society, violence, hatred, and rancour. This has barred children from engaging in communal activities, thereby rendering the main essence of moonlight plays defeated. There is a need for a paradigm shift from the traditional/indigenous setting to modern through the mass media such as television, radio and the internet. The qualitative approach was adopted as the methodology. This method included fieldwork, interviews, recording, transcription of selected moonlight songs. It is thus suggested Akwa Ibom Broadcasting Company, IFM105.9, Comfort FM, FM 94.5 Passion FM could serve as veritable media to propagate valuable lessons embedded in this traditional music genre to promote good morals and ethos. Similarly, curriculum planners at the early education level should integrate moonlight play songs into the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":158516,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Nigerian Musicologists","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122392302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work therefore analyses the role of Nigeria’s contemporary popular musicians in positive social re-engineering since by their art they are seen to enjoy a particular kind of immunity and freedom in making their voices heard in society. The questions remain, to what extent have they fulfilled this responsibility in the light of emerging socio-political concerns? What are the factors that inhibit their performance of this role as bearers of society’s conscience? This survey is conducted using secondary sources, analysis of song texts, live events and personal observations by the researcher as medium of data collection. It was evident that indeed there is the burden of social change on the shoulders of the Nigerian musician, a responsibility that has been performed with varying degrees of commitment and success in contemporary Nigeria. The study recommends a better reception of the messages of popular musicians especially as it concerns the well-being of society.","PeriodicalId":158516,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Nigerian Musicologists","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116012688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the paper clarified the relativity of evoking associations which determines the musical forms in the traditional music-making of the Yoruba people. Music is omnipresent and it is appreciated and respected within the traditional Yoruba society. The goal of this micro-sociological and ethnographical research in Yoruba music was to produce as detailed distinguished character description and emotional experience of the potential social impacts in the Yoruba music structures. The application of context analysis to investigate Yoruba traditional music is intended for a complete and an in-depth understanding of the music. The theoretical framework for this study is the Aristotle’s theory of art as an imitation of life. The study brought to fore the various circumstances, religious, ritual beliefs, environmental factors and cultures of Yoruba people as determinants of musical forms. In consequence, the following are the Yoruba musical forms; responsorial and recitative forms, General chorus form, incantation call and response form, round form, proverbial free form, free song form, nonsense syllable form and historical song form.","PeriodicalId":158516,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Nigerian Musicologists","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133756277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They play very important roles in the cultural, social, religious and other aspects of life in the community. The organization of umuada ranges from family, kindred, village to community levels. As women, singing is part and parcel of their daily activities. At each level, they engage in communal music making which features in most socio-cultural activities in the community. In recent times, some members of umuada have abstained from participating in their indigenous musical activities with the notion that these practices are fetish and are against their religious beliefs. This study amongst other things seeks to investigate the activities of umuada in Ekwulobia community, to analyze some of their music paying special attention to the messages of the songs. It also discusses the place of women in community development. Data for this study were gathered from personal experiences as an Ekwulobian by birth and an active member of umuada as well as from other secondary sources. This study reveals that the musical activities of the umuada plays valuable roles in social control and advances continuity of music making in the community. It also notes that the musical activities of the umuada are not fetish as often erroneously believed. It is thus suggested that for this musical tradition to stand the test of time, women should be encouraged to actively participate in it since it does not have any fetish attribute.","PeriodicalId":158516,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Nigerian Musicologists","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126645396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
