Drawing on survey data from 384 collegiate student participants across 35 U.S. states, I explored student awareness of DEI rollbacks, anticipated educational and professional impacts, perceptions of institutional response, and willingness to engage in DEI-related efforts. Quantitative findings revealed broad opposition to federal restrictions on DEI, with over 70% of participants expressing disagreement and more than 60% anticipating negative consequences for their education and careers. Statistically significant differences emerged by gender identity and academic program, with nonbinary and female participants reporting greater concern than male peers. Qualitative analysis of 243 open-ended responses highlighted themes of fear, moral commitment to DEI, frustration with institutional inaction, and conflicting views on meritocracy. Despite limited institutional communication, many participants expressed a belief in their role as advocates for equity. I underscore the contested and personal nature of DEI in music education, revealing both the fragility of institutional support and the resilience of student advocacy in politically volatile environments.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145295548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to examine the proportional representation of students with disabilities in U.S. high school music courses using data from the National Center for Education Statistics High School Longitudinal Study of 2009. Results indicated that 32.75% of music students in the cohort had a disability, which is a statistically significant underrepresentation compared to the high school population (35%). This underrepresentation was driven by the results among band students (31%). Notably, results from this study contribute to a clearer understanding of the presence of disabled students in music. Given that almost 33% of music students in this cohort had a disability, we suggest there is a critical need for further research into inclusive practices and underscore the urgency of expanding inclusive opportunities and supporting music educators in fostering accessible learning environments for students with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research foci included (a) how singer participants described safe place, (b) what strategies facilitators used to engage in building safe places, and (c) what barriers facilitators articulated in sustaining safe places. Over a 4-month period, primary data collection included 34 interviews with 51 singer and family participants and multiple interviews with choir staff; secondary data included rehearsal and performance observations and researcher journals. Using a conceptual lens of safe place, we engaged in open coding followed by focused coding, which resulted in individual case themes, and then interrogated those themes in cross-case analysis. Data analysis revealed that safe place thrived in programs uniquely reflecting their communities, where founders placed high value on full participation and invested deeply in community knowledge. Although programs adopted different foci, both embodied safe place in how facilitators supported each singer and the choir community. We conclude the article by extrapolating recommendations from community programs for music educators in pre-K–university settings.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BMTs in the sample reported being less prepared for classroom management, using computers and technology, teaching students with special needs, and teaching English language learners. Self-reported first-year preparation was largely similar between the music teachers ( N ≈ 1,080) and the nonmusic teachers ( N ≈ 34,850) in the sample. Relative to teachers in other content areas, the music teachers reported much better preparation for teaching their subject matter but lower relative preparation for classroom management, using computers and technology, teaching students with special needs, and teaching English language learners.

Using in-depth interviews and a composite narrative approach to protect participant anonymity, I explored how these faculty members navigated the unique challenges of music academia. My analysis yielded three interconnected themes: (a) the paradox of hypervisibility and invisibility, (b) identity negotiation in music academia, and (c) cultural taxation in music-specific contexts. The participants described challenges specific to music academia, where physical presence played a central role in performance and pedagogy—complexities that extended beyond what researchers had documented in broader studies of Black faculty experiences. Through Clandinin’s three commonplaces of narrative inquiry (temporality, sociality, and place), I analyzed how participants negotiated their visibility, maintained cultural authenticity, and managed additional unrecognized labor while teaching and performing in predominantly White spaces. This study contributed to existing scholarship on faculty of Color by documenting discipline-specific challenges at the intersection of racial identity, musical tradition, and performance. Based on these findings, I recommended reforms to evaluation criteria, support structures, and curriculum requirements to better serve Black music faculty in PWIs.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144603420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizers hoped this event would bridge the communication gap between society, educational institutions, and youth through a collaborative learning environment involving students, music educators, guidance counselors, and professional recording artists. Participants used the term “youth music” to encompass multiple genres that captured the interest of young people, including various forms of rock, blues, soul, country western, jazz, and ethnic styles. The program consisted of lectures from leading scholars in multiple disciplines; working groups to discuss topics related to youth music, culture, and school curricula; and open rehearsal clinics with professional artists coaching student ensembles. The YMI also sponsored weekly public concerts where professionals and students appeared together, thereby creating authentic performance opportunities for the aspiring young musicians. Research into details surrounding the YMI may provide valuable insights for advocacy and professional development that will enable teachers to advance popular music education today.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144337506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research questions were: (1) How do participants describe their experiences in academia? and (2) How do age, rank, experience, geographic region, or school type/size impact their descriptions of their experiences with gender bias and marginalization in academia? We explored the experiences of eight participants in varied stages of their careers (assistant, associate, full professor ranks), concentration areas (chorus, general, instrumental), and schools and locations throughout the United States. Analysis of the data revealed two overarching themes. The first theme, socialization, included four subthemes: (a) socialized gender expectations in the workplace and in their personal lives; (b) gendered service expectations; (c) faculty life, including students’ expectations of their professors; and (d) family life, including unsupportive institutional policies related to maternity leave and childcare. The second theme, coping strategies, included how tenure protections empowered participants to advocate for themselves and others. Developing coalitions with other women colleagues also was impactful. Recommendations for further research and suggestions for practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This relationship is affected by mediator variables, including social support and self-perceptions. Using structural equation modeling, this study explored how support in and through music and music self-perceptions affected the relationship between acculturation and acculturative stress in music classes. Data were collected among Latino immigrant students ( N = 501) ages 6 to 11 from two Title I elementary schools in a large city in the southeastern United States. Findings showed that higher levels of acculturative stress in music classes were linked to lower levels of American acculturation and higher levels of Latino acculturation. In addition, the indirect effect of American acculturation through U.S. music support and music self-perceptions was linked to higher levels of acculturative stress, whereas the indirect effect of Latino acculturation through Latino music support was linked to lower levels of stress. It could be hypothesized that U.S. music support may increase academic expectations, contributing to higher levels of acculturative stress. Conversely, Latino music support could help immigrant children connect with their ethnic musical heritage with lower academic pressure.","PeriodicalId":47469,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research in Music Education","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
