This book was released on 2016 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to formulate a plan for recruiting students into a beginning level band program and retaining instrumental students throughout the middle school grade levels. Instrumental music educators need to have a recruitment plan for enticing students into the band program as well as a plan to retain those students. Through the development of a thorough plan that details specific approaches and methods, music educators are able to recruit students into the instrumental program as well as retain students through the higher levels of said program. Plans based on experiences from existing programs and research may allow educators to identify students who are potentially interested in the instrumental programs, providing strategies to target all groups of students to increase participation. Teachers will benefit, and consequently better develop an ideal instrumental program, through the implementation and improvement of their recruitment and retention plan. The developed plan identified specific activities for each month and included such things as working with teachers and administrators in the elementary school, planned interactions between middle school director and elementary school students, community involvement and performance opportunities. With the implementation of a well-developed plan, music educators develop and maintain a successful comprehensive program for students to grow, develop, and foster musicianship.
Book Synopsis Strategies Used to Recruit and Retain Band Students in Urban Schools by : Jenna Lake
Download or read book Strategies Used to Recruit and Retain Band Students in Urban Schools written by Jenna Lake and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this multiple case study research was to examine recruitment and retention strategies used by successful urban school band directors. Participants were four urban school band directors and two urban school administrators. The directors were purposely selected based upon having successful and well-known band programs in schools that exhibited characteristics common to urban schools, including (a) a large percentage of low-SES students, (b) low, mean standardized test scores for students, (c) limited parental involvement in the band program, and (d) constrained budgets to support the band program. A survey and interviews were used to collect data on the teachers, their programs, and their administrators. Interview questions were developed based upon a review of literature and research questions regarding strategies used to recruit and retain students within urban school band programs. Using a semi-structured format, directors were interviewed to learn about their background in music, education, and current teaching situation. Two administrators were also interviewed regarding their perceptions of the recruitment and retention of students in the band programs in their school. Each band director participant described similar approaches to recruitment and retention, utilizing techniques such as demonstration concerts, informational handouts, testing of students on instruments, and holding a recruitment night for parents. They also noted the importance of administrative and parental support.

Book Synopsis Recruitment and Retention Strategies for the Secondary Instrumental Music Program by : Stefanie Buscher
Download or read book Recruitment and Retention Strategies for the Secondary Instrumental Music Program written by Stefanie Buscher and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project explored research and pedagogical literature related to the recruitment and retention of students involved in school music ensembles at the secondary level. Additionally, literature regarding advocacy for school instrumental programs was reviewed. Although music courses serve an important purpose in a well-rounded education and should be made easily available to all students, there are cases in which policymakers or administrators do not prioritize the need for music education. To facilitate strong student participation in school music programs, the literature points to the benefits of music educators implementing a year round recruitment, retention, and advocacy plan. As part of this capstone project, a twelve-month plan for recruitment, retention, and advocacy was created, grounded in the research and pedagogical literature in music education. The plan outlines strategies such as frequent contact with new recruits and their parents, positive student-teacher relationships with current students, and providing culturally relevant performances that meet the community's expectations. All of the findings are applicable to strategically improving the quality and quantity of the band program in the Valley Park, Missouri school district.

Book Synopsis Curriculum Development for Beginning Band by : Thomas Langford
Download or read book Curriculum Development for Beginning Band written by Thomas Langford and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite efforts in many schools to offer quality music education to all students, issues still prevent many minority students from participating in band programs. There are important and unique implications for minority students and students who live in poverty and their ability or desire to participate in a band program. Developing curriculum and teaching strategies to reach minority students and students living in poverty is one way to bridge the educational gap and provide an avenue for students to make a better way for themselves. The study examined existing literature to determine factors attracting or retracting this student population from band program participation. In the research, the obstacles found were financial constraints, family priority, and academics. The socioeconomic factor plays a significant role in students joining or staying in a band program. This qualitative historical study examined past patterns to understand the band curriculum's role in recruiting and retaining these students. With an understanding of the role of curriculum in the past, this study offers an outline of a curriculum approach to attract and retain impoverished minority students. The curriculum design followed the ADDIE method, including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research found that the curriculum choices should be culturally relevant, repertoire selected by students, and have varying genres.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate teacher perceptions of current critical issues in urban music education programs. Specifically, the research questions asked were: 1) What are the major challenges and gratifications experienced by urban instrumental music teachers? 2) What teaching strategies best promote musical achievement and engage urban students? 3) What are the most effective strategies for recruiting and retaining urban music educators? A review of literature provided information on the characteristics of urban culture, the needs of music education in urban schools, culturally relevant teaching, diversified teacher preparation, the recruitment and retention of urban teachers, and profiles of successful urban teachers. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to provide a more detailed and comprehensive analysis of teacher perspectives. A survey questionnaire was sent to music educators in the Atlanta Public School system (N = 70). In addition, urban music educators (n = 6) were interviewed to gain additional insight regarding the specific challenges and practices of urban educators. Results of the study indicated that: -Although a major challenge is present in the need to address cultural differences and connect with the students, teachers value the opportunity to instill the values experienced in musical performances0́4teamwork and the belief that success is possible through hard work and perseverance.-Successful urban teachers set boundaries and remain consistent in their daily expectations and procedures0́4while letting students know that they genuinely care about them.-Music teacher education programs should ensure that all graduates are well prepared to teach in an urban environment and have been exposed to diverse types of school populations.

Ten major sections cover the myriad issues of urban education as it exists today.

Book Synopsis Urban Music Education by : Kate Fitzpatrick-Harnish
Download or read book Urban Music Education written by Kate Fitzpatrick-Harnish and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevailing discourse surrounding urban music education suggests the deficit-laden notion that urban school settings are "less than," rather than "different than," their counterparts. Through the lens of contextually-specific teaching, this book provides a counternarrative on urban music education that encourages urban music teachers to focus on the strengths of their students as their primary resource. Through a combination of research-based strategies and practical suggestions from the author's own experience teaching music in urban settings, the book highlights important issues for teachers to consider, such as culturally relevant pedagogy, the "opportunity gap," race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, musical content, curricular change, music program development, student motivation, and strategies for finding inspiration and support. Throughout the book, the stories of five highly successful urban music teachers are highlighted, providing practical, real-world advice for music teachers across the domains of general, choral, band, and string music teaching. Recognizing that the term "urban" can encompass a wide variety of different school and community settings, this book challenges all teachers who work in under-served and under-resourced settings to take a critical look at their own music classroom and work to tailor their pedagogy to meet the particular needs of their students.
