Nine preservice music teachers were taught how to freely improvise within groups as part of a teacher education course and participated in interviews and focus group discussions. Major themes highlighted learning across three segments that emphasized communication and collaborative skills, entrepreneurial skills and risk taking, and reconciliation and transformation. I concluded that the sociomusical outcomes produced by collective free improvisation may complement those of more formal and idiomatic improvisation practices, and that by introducing preservice music teachers to free improvisation activities, they may be more willing to engage PK–12 students in free improvisation lessons that enhance the existing school music curriculum.","PeriodicalId":44687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Teacher Education","volume":"30 1","pages":"40 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10570837211018287","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42866889","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}

To identify and examine specific experiences that may be unique to rural general music teachers, we recruited six teacher-participants to complete a 5-week online professional development (PD) course for this exploratory study. We created a teacher-led approach for this PD, implementing topics and solutions generated by the participants. Using qualitative content analysis, we found two categories of themes in the online discussion posts that either connected or disconnected our participants with other music teachers on their general music context or their geographic setting. Although participants clearly articulated the influences of setting and place-based pedagogy, we found shared issues related to general music that transcended location. Implications for future PD include the importance of online delivery methods and developing PD differentiated by teaching contexts and geographic settings.","PeriodicalId":44687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Teacher Education","volume":"30 1","pages":"99 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10570837211008658","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41949447","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}

I addressed the factor structure of the edTPA for music education, the extent to which the edTPA fits the one- and three-factor a priori models proposed by the test authors, and the reliability of edTPA scores awarded to music education students. Factor analysis did not support the a priori one-factor model around teacher readiness, or the three-factor model based on the edTPA tasks of Planning, Instruction, and Assessment. Internal consistency was acceptable for all rubrics together and for the Instruction task. However, estimates of interrater reliability fell substantially below those reported by test administrators. These findings indicate the need for revision of the edTPA for music education and call into question its continued use among music teacher candidates in its current form.","PeriodicalId":44687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Teacher Education","volume":"30 1","pages":"84 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10570837211007859","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47871282","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}

Student researchers reported moderate improvement across three subscales of Thinking and Working Like a Scientist, Personal Gains, and Research Skills, and some change for Attitudes and Beliefs. A comparison of pretest and posttest RSDQ subscale scores showed no significant change in participants’ self-reported research knowledge, skills, or dispositions. URSSA and RSDQ subscales demonstrated strong internal consistency.

We replicated and expanded Salvador’s study by including graduate student preparation, incorporating additional facets of human diversity, and contacting all institutions accredited by National Association of Schools of Music to prepare music educators. According to our respondents, integrated instruction focused on diverse learners was more commonly part of undergraduate coursework than graduate coursework.

Twenty-five third-year instrumental methods course music education students created a personal metaphor to explore their professional identity construction. Preservice teacher metaphors were revisited throughout the semester, while students participated in an authentic context learning experience in an urban instrumental music classroom. Data sources included student artifacts, informal interviews, and observation/field notes. The impact of teaching within an authentic learning context appears to enrich the ways in which preservice teachers are able to articulate details of their metaphor descriptions. Through their reflections across the semester, preservice teachers demonstrated how personal metaphors were used to restructure their understandings of teacher identity and capture some of the complexities of becoming teachers.","PeriodicalId":44687,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Music Teacher Education","volume":"30 1","pages":"24 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1057083720982278","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42816016","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}

Much of the literature of that period was focused on describing the teacher workforce, but researchers were struggling to pinpoint key factors contributing to the pronounced underrepresentation of teachers of color. A U.S. Department of Education report (Choy et al., 1993), for example, showed that 87% of female teachers and 90% of male teachers were White. In a companion report published 4 years later (Henke et al., 1997), researchers confirmed that far fewer teachers than students identified as minorities (i.e., nearly twice as many Black students as Black teachers, and over three times as many Hispanic students as Hispanic teachers). While there was some evidence of an inroad being made in the recruitment of Hispanic teachers to the profession, the vast majority (87%) of teachers still identified as White. Faced with those realities, my colleague and I applied for a university grant that would support a special outreach initiative modeled after the so-called “grow your own” programs. We partnered with high school music teachers in the Denver Public School District—one of the largest and most diverse school districts in the nation—to identify student musicians of color who exhibited an interest in and some attributes for music teaching. We provided transportation for students between Denver and Boulder and hosted them for a full-day campus visit during which they could (a) shadow a music education student through a portion of their daily schedule; (b) observe representative classes, lessons, and rehearsals; (c) meet with music education faculty and administrators over lunch to learn about the typical music school application, audition, and admissions processes; (d) visit with a financial aid representative concerning scholarships and need-based aid; and (e) tour the campus and music facilities.
