Despite this, choirmasters frequently place a significant emphasis on technical proficiency, considering it a key determinant of the choir’s learning rather than creating a thorough curriculum that covers all facets of comprehending music. In response, the current study aims to ascertain the criteria used by choirmasters for assessing music selection and analysing compositions, learning outcomes and uncovering strategies and assessments to determine alignment with the Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) model, which integrates performing with understanding. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews conducted via Zoom with eight choirmasters. The results revealed that choirmasters’ teaching plan aligned with L. Sindberg’s (2012) CMP model. Choirmasters prioritise choirs’ vocal background when selecting compositions and emphasise understanding the meaning and appropriateness of the text during composition analysis. They highlight cognitive outcomes by fostering a profound grasp of the pieces and use creative and interactive teaching strategies. Assessment plays a crucial role in evaluating choir members’ musicianship skill, monitoring progress and achieving learning objectives. While CMP model provides a strong foundation, ongoing research aims to refine and expand it to ensure continued relevance in the evolving needs of music ensemble.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors, experts in improvisation pedagogy and special music education, designed and delivered a curriculum aimed at facilitating an inclusive ensemble experience for all participants. Following a modified Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, the study comprised 16 facilitated improvisation sessions for adults with disabilities, with observation and feedback by orchestra musicians and special music educators. Subsequently, the three participant groups were formed into integrated ensembles for eight additional sessions. Data, analysed through thematic coding, includes participant observation, videoed Zoom calls, journals, focus groups and interviews. Results include positive feelings of community in the integrated ensemble, mixed experiences making music using networked, online technology and the value of using accessible and adaptable improvisation in a mixed abilities ensemble, especially when presented with some predictability and structure.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143757731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using mixed-methods research we investigated 346 Year 9 (compulsory) and Year 10 (post-compulsory) students’ perceptions of music education through questionnaires and focus-groups. The findings highlight the differing importance attributed by students to school music and music in general. Students commonly expressed a de-valuing of school music, citing a disparity between classroom music and their personal preferences and experiences. Students electively enrolled in music recognised school music’s role in developing their music knowledge and understanding. Enjoyment and musical learning emerged as primary benefits of music education, yet school music lacked perceived positive impact in their lives. Music education should better align with students’ interests, preferences and experiences beyond school to foster engagement and participation.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A review of the relevant literature was conducted, and Structural Equation Modeling was used to examine the relationships between variables. The study sample comprised 425 preschool teacher candidates. The findings indicated that academic self-efficacy significantly and positively predicted both preschool teaching self-efficacy and music teaching self-efficacy. Additionally, preschool teaching self-efficacy emerged as a significant positive predictor of music teaching self-efficacy. Notably, preschool teaching self-efficacy was identified as the strongest predictor of music teaching self-efficacy. Furthermore, preschool teaching self-efficacy was found to mediate the relationship between academic self-efficacy and music teaching self-efficacy. Theoretical implications suggest that the music teaching self-efficacy beliefs of preschool teacher candidates, who are also responsible for providing music education, are positively related to their academic self-efficacy and preschool teaching self-efficacy. However, further research is needed that addresses other variables with the potential to predict music teaching self-efficacy.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been examined in several music education contexts, including elementary, secondary, and university ensembles; however, group piano has yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to determine what effects there were, if any, between the duration of training for RPT tutors and achievement on four piano performance skills: repertoire, sight-reading, harmonization, and transposition. Thirty-three non-piano music majors completed pretesting and engaged in 2 to 6 days of RPT training, followed by 8 weeks of RPT interactions in their group piano class, after which a posttest was administered. Results from four separate Kruskal Wallis H tests found significant differences between groups for all areas of assessment. Post hoc testing determined that the 4-day training group scored significantly higher on the repertoire, harmonization, and sight-reading tasks, and the 6-day training group scored significantly higher in sight-reading and transposition tasks; however, the limited sample size should caution broad interpretation. Further analysis determined that the results of all tests were correlated with one another, suggesting that as the facility in one assessed skill increases, so do others. Implications for RPT tutor training and group piano teachers are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aimed to identify barriers and solutions to musician health promotion and to document studio music instructors’ approaches to wellness topics with students. Using a qualitative description approach, in-depth interviews with 10 oboe teachers (7 male, 3 female, 5 with personal history of injury) documented perceptions and practices surrounding playing-related injury (PRI). Participants identified several barriers to help-seeking behaviors among musicians, including shame, stigma, discrimination, heavy course loads, and abuse. Proposed solutions for these barriers included self-care, accessible resources, vulnerability, empathy, positive framing, and institutional support for wellness initiatives. Participants’ teaching practices emphasized adaptable lesson plans, cultivating independence and efficiency, and positive framing. With injured students, they described referring to medical professionals, encouraging physical activity, emphasizing posture and alignment, recommending instrument modifications and supports, making sure that reeds and instrument are functioning well, and incorporating rest into lesson and practice plans. Participants demonstrated a nuanced understanding of how best to approach musicians’ wellness topics with students (e.g. positive framing, vulnerability, empathy, emphasizing efficiency). Educational wellness initiatives could achieve greater efficacy through direct consultation and collaboration with teachers.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been done through a qualitative phenomenological study, analyzing 18 interviews carried out with members of the boards of directors, and codified through Atlas.ti software program. The results show that some of the greatest achievements of this organization have been to carry out activities, facilitate the connection between professionals from different fields of music education, and the promotion of music research. The lack of support, both institutional and from the educational community, along with scarce economic resources were some of the most noted difficulties. Future goals point to promoting more dialog with the administration, and the improvement of technological resources.

I designed this study to examine U.S. music teachers’ attitudes, perspectives, and the integration of strategies related to culturally responsive teaching (CRT) into their high school musical theatre productions, including the challenges they encounter and their suggestions. Analysis of responses to the electronic survey ( N = 119) indicated a strong emphasis on integrating cultural awareness across various stages of musical production, aligning with Gay’s five essential elements for CRT implementation. Teachers prioritized selecting culturally valid musicals that were responsive to students’ skills and diverse backgrounds while fostering cultural appreciation. Despite challenges such as finding culture bearers and accessing some culturally diverse materials, they did curate culturally accurate and relevant materials to deepen students’ cultural understanding, guiding them in interpreting and performing musical songs using appropriate diverse vocal styles in a healthy manner. Establishing a safe space where students felt acknowledged and could freely discuss, share, lead, and collaborate was integral to these efforts. Ultimately, these practices aimed to cultivate students’ respect for their own and other cultures, promote diversity, inclusivity, and enhance the overall quality of the musical presentation.","PeriodicalId":46623,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Music Education","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143026625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
