The proposed framework includes four quadrants: (a) teacher competencies, (b) informed choices, (c) authenticity, and (d) holistic and comparative lessons. The framework provides K–16 teachers with tangible, accessible, and actionable methods for implementing a teaching pedagogy that has often been misunderstood or implemented without fidelity, and therefore ineffective. Each quadrant’s description and detail provide educators with guidance, supporting their individual musical growth, facilitating authentic relationships with students, authentic performances, and careful idea development for lesson planning that is inclusive of multiple musical perspectives and origins. Muñiz and Richards et al. acknowledged that community support and teacher capacity are essential for culturally relevant pedagogy to be implemented effectively, thus increasing students’ academic growth.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"41 1","pages":"24 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47027510","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}

It is considered a preventive health care measure used to promote physical and mental health as well as personal well-being. In this article, I use a self-care framework created for social workers and adapt it to music educators with the intention of aiding music teachers in practicing and maintaining their own self-care. The self-care framework is categorized into two dimensions—personal and professional self-care—which each contains various domains. Pragmatic strategies grounded in relevant literature in music education are described in each category within the self-care framework. By providing a self-care framework and relevant strategies, I aim to improve knowledge of self-care practices of music teachers.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"40 1","pages":"5 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44610013","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 focused on practical implications for teaching culturally diverse music with intention and care. Research findings and implications illuminate possibilities for authentic, respectful, and culturally responsive teaching preparation, such as ways to decide on the song(s) one will teach, locate informants and resources, and learn about particular music. Additionally, one can draw meaningful insights for transmission and implementation, such as considerations for teaching context, foreign languages, vocal tone, expression, and movement.Ultimately, I summarized reported practices around building community, collaborative learning, and “horizontal leadership,” which may be apt for building firsthand appreciation and awareness of (culturally diverse) choir peers.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"40 1","pages":"60 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43738461","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}

Four students enrolled in the high school band participated in five weeks of mindfulness practice interventions over the virtual format alongside their instrumental music director. Mindfulness practices included diaphragmatic breathing, relaxation imagery, cued relaxation, and stretching. Throughout the five weeks, student participants discussed improved focus, improvement of stress management, and increased frequency of mindfulness practice. However, four months after data collection was complete, three of the four student participants continued to practice mindfulness techniques on their own time to assist with nervousness, anxiety, and stress.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"40 1","pages":"71 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43133272","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 literature that I identified covered procedures and strategies that preservice music teachers could apply to their teaching practice. On my analysis of the existing literature, I categorized the development of a philosophy into a four-stage process of (1) discovery, (2) articulation, (3) application, and (4) reflection and revision. Results found in the literature included clear expectations and practical tools for each stage, such as dialogues, reading, writing, and constructive feedback, providing a critical view of music education philosophy and guidelines for effective teaching. Understanding the four-stage process may help preservice music teachers and music teacher educators to establish a concrete plan for the development of music education philosophy, allowing preservice music teachers to acquire more confidence in their transition to inservice teaching.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"41 1","pages":"7 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43868405","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}

{"title":"Comments From the Editor: How Big Are Your P Values?","authors":"B. Silvey","doi":"10.1177/87551233211043843","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/87551233211043843","url":null,"abstract":"For researchers who conduct quantitative analyses that involve statistical software such as SPSS or R, nothing is more perilous than hitting the execute button and waiting for those p values to appear on the screen. In the case of p ≤ .05, there is usually great rejoicing and a satisfaction that achieving statistical significance means that your study may result in a publishable article. However, if the output shows p ≥ .05, the need for a stiff drink and psychotherapy develops suddenly. If only the number had been different! All of that hard work for nothing! Due to the distorted nature of this easy and lazy categorization that places research findings into those that matter and those that do not, it should come as no surprise that statisticians disagree on the importance and use of p values (Wasserstein & Lazar, 2016). Indeed, many researchers and data scientists have called for the retirement of statistical significance altogether (Amrhein et al., 2019). Although a complete description and discussion of the debate surrounding significance testing is beyond the scope of these comments, there are many resources available for those individuals who like to fall asleep early (c.f., Brereton, 2020; Kennedy-Shaffer, 2019; Vidgen & Yasseri, 2016). Even though the mission of Update is to present “findings of individual studies without research terminology or jargon” (Update, n.d.), we often include quantitative studies that have varying degrees of statistical mumbo jumbo. (I won’t make any excuses, though, other than maybe I should do a better job as Editor.) Because you have woken from the slumber induced by reading the exhaustive list of the strengths and weaknesses of null hypothesis significance testing cited previously, I thought it would be better to present some ways that researchers are attempting to move beyond the p value. Many of our readers, in addition to be excellent practitioners, endeavor to consume even more sophisticated quantitative research, so knowing more about what is happening within the social sciences and other music education research journals could prove beneficial. In a terrific article by Resnick (2017), the case for and against redefining statistical significance is debated. He claims that there are more nuanced ways to move science forward, and asserts that researchers should consider several things when reporting their data. One consideration is to include effect sizes. For those unaware of effect sizes, they are a quantitative measure of the magnitude of an experimental effect, and are reported alongside p values. Rather than only report whether there was a statistical difference, researchers should include effect sizes to contextualize the importance and practicality of their findings. Depending on the type of statistical test that was computed, you might find Cohen’s d, Hedges g, or partial eta squared (η2) hanging out behind that p value. In other words, just because something is statistically significant does not m","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"40 1","pages":"3 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46511086","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}

Specific research questions included (a) Do high school band students feel capable of performing a music work without teacher intervention? (b) In what ways do high school band students describe the experience of performing in a student-led large ensemble? (c) What music decisions were most often made by high school band students in a student-led large ensemble? and (d) Were there any changes in high school students’ perceptions of autonomy following a student-led large ensemble music rehearsal and performance experience? Findings illustrated that the democratic experience increased student autonomy and music discrimination across larger distances in the classroom as students listened to other nonsimilar sections. Furthermore, student voice, self-efficacy, and personal affect also increased as a result of the experience. Students felt empowered to offer their rehearsal critiques; however, a lingering concern is that participants continued to feel that their peers would not listen to their opinions on rehearsal issues or strategy usage.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"40 1","pages":"49 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45467012","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 purpose of this study was to explore the effect of four experimental practice conditions to a control condition on woodwind players’ performance of slur, accent, and staccato markings. A secondary purpose was to examine the role of working memory in performing articulation. The practice conditions used visual and kinesthetic approaches: colored notation, tracing over articulation marks, and speaking syllables. University woodwind players (N = 26) practiced short etudes on 1 day, and they returned approximately 24 hours later for retention testing. Participants’ working memory was strongly related to playing articulation on the first day of practice. Woodwind players prioritized playing slurs over accents and staccatos, and there was some support for tracing with color to support accurate performance of articulation.","PeriodicalId":75281,"journal":{"name":"Update (Music Educators National Conference (U.S.))","volume":"40 1","pages":"39 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47132504","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}
