Full textThe purpose of this mixed methods study was to explore elementary music teacher perspectives of subdivision and its instructional value in the general music classroom. This study aims to answer the questions: (a) How does the perceived definition of subdivision influence instruction? (b) How do elementary music teachers relate subdivision to other concepts? (e) How does training and professional development influence teacher perception? Elementary general music teachers (N=26) from an inner-city Title 1 school district in Central Texas participated in a descriptive survey. Results indicated that while participants explained that important relationship between subdivision and other concepts and marked it as extremely significant (88%), they ranked it seventh out of eight and allotted less than five minutes for instruction during lessons. In addition, the greatest influence on teacher perception of subdivision was the amount of training in Dalcroze Eurhythmics, Kodály and Orff Schulwerk, While Kodály teachers primarily related subdivision to rhythm, and thought that it was too complicated for young students, Orff and Dalcroze teachers were more likely to teach it in every concept. This study along with previously conducted studies suggest that elementary music teachers believe that subdivision aids in student learning. However, elementary music teachers appear to be hesitant to utilize subdivision during instruction.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Of an inter-disciplinary nature, this thesis examines certain pertinent psychological aspects with regard to one-on-one instrumental teaching at the tertiary level. It is apparent that this area has not been the focus of much investigation. However, in recent years, together with research into new, forward-thinking philosophies in music education, there has been an examination of some psychological aspects pertaining to instrumental teaching by researchers such as Mackworth-Young (1990), Kennell (2002), and Creech & Hallam (2003). Although most researchers have focused primarily on students of school-going age, more recently attention has begun to be given to tertiary level instrumental teaching. There are many ways to approach one-on-one instrumental teaching. There is no doubt that these have been tried and tested, and, in their own way, have been successful. They range from the traditional to the master-apprenticeship model, the latter most commonly used in university music departments. While it is not the purpose of this thesis to discuss pedagogical principles per se, the researcher proposes a student-centred model based on humanistic trends in psychology, with particular reference to Rogers. This model emphasises the importance of the teacher/student relationship and a holistic view of students. In addition, the developmental stage of university students is investigated in order to provide more insight and understanding of students’ place in the life cycle. Such psychological knowledge can equip teachers with skills, which would assist them to deal with sensitive issues that may be beyond their common sense and expertise. Consequently, the application of these psychological principles to instrumental teaching at the tertiary level is investigated by examining both the teacher/student relationship and a student-centred approach in the studio. A student-centred focus is one where the teacher has a facilitative function. Such a teacher leads students to be proactive and to be full participants in their own learning process. Consequently students would develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. At the same time they would learn how to take responsibility for their actions. In such a milieu they are given the freedom to express themselves without fear of reprisal, and are made aware that they are valued and accepted unconditionally as unique individuals. This kind of environment should encourage the development of both cognitive and affective aspects of their personalities while simultaneously being conducive to optimal learning and to the maximising of their full potential at this stage. This researcher believes that the student-centred approach offers a more humanizing view than the traditional view of teaching. It is not the intention of the researcher to reject other styles of teaching, since it is fully appreciated that there are diverse views, which have their merit and should be recognised. However, there is a need to investigate whether student-centred teaching can be used exclusively, or whether it can offer an alternative to more conventional approaches, working independently of or perhaps complementarily to these.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis is van interdissiplinêre aard en eksamineer daarom pertinente psigologiese aspekte met betrekking tot individuele (een-tot-een) instrumentale onderrig op tersiêre vlak. Klaarblyklik het navorsing nog nie veel op hierdie terrein gefokus nie. In die onlangse verlede is navorsing egter wel gedoen oor nuwe, progressiewe musiekopvoedingsfilosofieë, onder andere in verband met psigologiese aspekte van instrumentale onderrig, deur navorsers soos Mackworth-Young (1990), Kennel (2002), en Creech & Hallam (2003). Hoewel die meeste navorsers primêr op studente van skoolgaande ouderdom gefokus het, is daar meer onlangs begin om aandag te skenk aan instrumentale onderrig op tersiêre vlak. Individuele instrumentale onderrig kan op baie maniere geskied. Ongetwyfeld is hierdie metodes deeglik beproef en is hulle, in eie reg, suksesvol. Dit sluit uitgangspunte in wat strek vanaf die tradisionele- tot die meester-vakleerlingmodel. Laasgenoemde is die model wat oorwegend in musiekdepartemente van universiteite gebruik word. Omdat die primêre doelstelling van hierdie tesis nie die bespreking van pedagogiese beginsels as sodanig is nie, stel die navorser 'n studentgesentreerde model, gebaseer op humanistiese tendense in die sielkunde met besondere verwysing na Rogers, voor. Dié model beklemtoon die belangrikheid van die dosent/studentverhouding asook 'n holistiese siening van studente. Daarbenewens word die persoonlike ontwikkelingsfaktore van universiteitstudente ondersoek met die oog op verkryging van insig in en begrip van die plek wat die studentfase in die lewenssiklus beklee. Sielkundige kennis van dié aard kan dosente vaardighede bied wat kan help om doeltreffend om te gaan met sensitiewe kwessies wat dalk buite die grense van ouderwetse gesonde verstand en vakkennis val. Gevolglik word die toepassing van hierdie psigologiese beginsels op instrumentale onderrig op tersiêre vlak nagespoor deur 'n ondersoek na die dosent/studentverhouding en 'n studentgesentreerde benadering in die onderrigstudio. 'n Studentgesentreerde pedagogiese fokus behels dat die dosent 'n fasiliterende funksie moet verrig. So 'n dosent lei studente om pro-aktief te wees en om volledige deelnemers in hul eie leerproses te word. Studente sal gevolglik kritiese denke en vaardighede in probleemoplossing ontwikkel. Terselfdertyd leer hulle verantwoordelikheid vir hul aksies aanvaar. In so 'n milieu word aan hulle vryheid van selfuitdrukking, sonder vrees vir vergelding, gebied en raak hulle bewus daarvan dat hulle, as unieke individue, onvoorwaardelik aanvaar en waardeer word. Hierdie soort omgewing behoort die ontwikkeling van beide die kognitiewe en affektiewe persoonlikheidsaspekte aan te moedig terwyl dit terselfdertyd bevorderlik is vir optimale leer en die maksimale ontplooiing van hul volle potensiaal op hierdie stadium. Hierdie navorser glo dat die studentgesentreerde benadering 'n meer humaniserende gesigspunt bied as dié van die tradisionele onderrrigmodel(le). Die navorser beoog nie om ander onderrigstyle te verwerp nie, want daar is waardering vir die feit dat diverse merietedraende sienings bestaan wat erkenning verdien. Tog bestaan die behoefte om na te vors of studentgesentreerde onderrig eksklusief gebruik kan word en of dit 'n alternatief kan bied vir meer konvensionele benaderings waarmee dit òf onafhanklik òf dalk komplimenterend in verhouding kan staan.

Full textFindings revealed that children who had no previous music training used increasingly sophisticated representational strategies to notate a song, and that they were able to refine their notations when singing the song from their notation, teaching the song or when prompted by an adult or a peer. I concluded that the peer-peer situation was a motivating force for triggering a recursive process of reflections-on-actions and knowing-in-action. Classmates' questions, comments and their singing played a critical role in moving the children to modify their notations and their singing, verbal explanations and gesturing in ways they did not do alone or with me.
Analysis of the children's notations, verbal explanations and teaching strategies provided insights not only into what they knew about music, but also their appropriation of the cultural conventions of writing and their aesthetic sensibilities, as gleaned from their choice of symbols, colours and how they presented their symbols on the page. Interviews with parents, teachers and school principal provided contextual background for interpreting the children's notations and how they approached the task. This study shows the value of adopting a social constructivist approach to teaching the language of music. It also demonstrates that researching the products and processes of children's invented notations from a social constructivist perspective enables more detailed portraits of children's musical and meta-cognitive understandings.

Full textThis study investigates the effects of an Alternative Instrumental Music Program on grade three children, at an elementary school situated on the West Island of Montreal, Quebec. One of the two classes involved in the Study (Experimental Group) participated in an alternative instrumental music program and its applications; the other class (Control Group) followed a traditional music program. Each class consisted of twenty-eight students. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from both groups of students, homeroom teachers, and parents over a period of ten consecutive weeks.
The findings revealed that the children in the Experimental Group enjoyed learning music in school more than those in the Control Group. The Experimental Group also indicated a greater increase in the enjoyment of activities experienced during music class than those in the Control Group. Moreover, there was a higher increase of musical knowledge in the Experimental Group.
The author suggests that further research on the effects of alternative music programs on elementary school children would be beneficial to the educational community.

Full textThe piano teacher faces an enormous task as educator in initial educational practice. The child must receive clear directives in terms of piano technique, sight reading skills, aural training, music theory and general music history. These aspects are accepted as providing the basic principles for effective tuition for beginners. Efficient guidance can be delivered only when the piano teacher has the necessary knowledge. In this study piano teachers who lack sufficient experience, knowledge and insight in the relevant knowledge, especially concerning piano technique, are considered to be underqualified.

Full textParticipants' perceptions of their "selves" were rooted in childhood memories and models of practice. They interpreted, internalized and practised the tacit expectations of their models of practice. Subsequently, participants' images of self-as-musicians and self-as-educators were connected by a common thread, that of image of self. Participants who viewed self-as-performer encountered conflict between their identities as musician and as educator. Other participants constructed images of self-as-participants. As such, they experienced a sense of unity and resonance between their identities as musicians and as educators.
Issues directly related to their self-perceptions surfaced as participants began to think of themselves as music educators. The study considered the implication of these issues for teaching practice, and the relationship between these issues and preservice teacher training. This study concludes with a discussion of research implications and directions for reforming music teacher education.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In Suid-Afrika, soos in alle ander lande, is daar musiekliefhebbers en kunstenaars met beperkte of geen musiekopleiding nie. Sommige van hulle het dikwels net In basiese musiekkennis en het heel waarskynlik nooit die geleentheid gehad om hulle kennis met eksterne insette te verbreed nie. Dit is juis teen hierdie agtergrond dat daar al vir 'n geruime tyd 'n behoefte bestaan om die nodige opleiding en onderrig aan persone te bied wat weens omstandighede buite hulle beheer (histories of andersins) nie formele musiekonderrig van watter aard ookal, kon ontvang nie. By die Konservatorium (Universiteit Stellenbosch) word daar twee oorbruggingskursusse, oftewel 'n Sertifikaatprogram, aangebied. Die teikengroep bestaan hoofsaaklik uit (i) mense wat na hulle gemeenskappe kan terugkeer om hulle nuutgevonde kennis toe te pas en/of (ii) voornemende musici wat graag vir die BMus-program wil inskryf nadat hulle die minimum tydperk van die Sertifikaatprogram suksesvol voltooi het. Die doel met hierdie studie was om te bepaal of die tweede Sertifikaat van die Sertifikaatprogram se huidige (i) kurrikulum en (ii) standaard 'n student in staat stelom aan die toelatingsvereistes van die BMus-program te voldoen en die kursus suksesvol te voltooi. Om die doel te verwesenlik, is kwalitatiewe navorsingsmetodes (byvoorbeeld literatuurstudie en waarneming) gebruik om die spesifieke inhoud wat in die Sertifikaatprogram benodig word, te ondersoek. Daar is gevind dat aspekte van die Elliott-model toegepas kan word op sertifikaatinhoude. Die navorser kon as waarnemer en dosent deur middel van klasbywoning en -aanbieding eerstehands bepaal of die kurrikulum wat op skrif gestel is, in die praktyk uitvoerbaar was. Empiriese inligting oor die betrokke kursus is deur middel van die opname prosedure en die gestruktureerde vraelys tegniek bekom. In Evalueringsvraelys oor kursusmodules wat oor 'n tydperk van twee jaar aangebied is, is ingevul deur sertifikaatstudente. Onderhoude is met BMus I dosente gevoer om te bepaal watter minimum standaard na hulle mening aanvaarbaar is wanneer 'n student vir die BMus-program inskryf. Deur middel van literatuurstudie is daar ook na eksterne faktore gekyk wat In invloed op die vordering van studente in die Sertifikaatprogram kon hê. Die hantering van aspekte soos motivering, onderrigtegniek en -benaderings wat suksesvolle volwasse onderrig sal verseker, eienskappe van volwasse leerders en die implikasies daarvan vir volwasse onderrig is binne die konteks van die Universiteit Stellenbosch se Sertifikaatprogram bespreek. Deel van die oogmerke van hierdie navorsing was ook om die moontlikheid van aanlegtoetse te ondersoek, omdat tans geen aanlegtoets afgelê word by die Departement Musiek nie. Verskeie bestaande aanlegtoetse is vir die doel bestudeer en die Advanced Measures of Music Audiation van E. Gordon is deur die navorser as die mees geskikte vir die doel van hierdie studie beskou. In die geheel het hierdie studie getoon dat die Sertifikaatprogram by die Departement Musiek, Universiteit Stellenbosch, baie potensiaal het, maar dat daar egter deeglik ondersoek ingestel moet word na die kurrikuluminhoude om sodoende die huidige standaard op
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In South Africa, similar to all other countries, there are music lovers and artists with limited or no training in music. Some of them often only have a basic knowledge of music and probably never had the opportunity to broaden their knowledge with external inputs. It is against this background that the need exists to provide the necessary training and tuition for these persons who, due to circumstances beyond their control (historical or other), could not receive any formal music tuition whatsoever. The Department of Music (Stellenbosch University) offers two bridging courses, namely the Certificate programme. The target group consists mainly of (i) people who can return to their communities to apply their newly acquired knowledge and/or (ii) prospective musicians who would like to enrol for the BMus programme, after successfully completing the minimum period. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the second Certificate of the Certificate programme's current (i) curriculum, and (ii) standard, will make it possible for a student to meet the requirements for enrolment in the BMus programme and to complete the course successfully. To realise the objective, qualitative research methods (for example literature study and observation) have been employed to investigate the specific contents required in the Certificate programme. The researcher could, as observer and lecturer, by means of attending lectures and lecturing, determine first hand whether the curriculum which had been compiled, was viable in practice. The researcher obtained empirical data regarding the course in question by means of the survey procedure and structured questionnaire method. A questionnaire comprising the evaluation of course modules presented over a period of two years, was completed by certificate students. Questionnaires have been completed by BMus I lecturers to determine amongst other things, in their opinion, whether the minimum standard would be acceptable when a student enrols for the BMus programme. By means of literature studies, external factors which could influence the progress of students in the Certificate programme, have also been examined. The handling of aspects such as motivation, tuition techniques and approach, which wil ensure successful adult tuition, characteristics of adult learners and the implications thereof for adult tuition, have been discussed within the context of Stellenbosch University's Certificate programme. Part of the objectives of this research was to investigate the applicability of aptitude tests, because no aptitude test is required at the Department of Music at present. Various existing aptitude tests have been examined and the author has deemed the Advanced Measures of Music Audiation by E. Gordon as most suitable for this purpose. In its entirety this study has shown that the Certificate Programme of the Department of Music, Stellenbosch University has much potential, but, that thorough investigation should be initiated into curriculum contents to elevate the existing standard, in order that the link of the second Certificate with the BMus programme can be trouble-free.

Full textSince being introduced into classrooms in the late 1990s, online instruction has grown substantially both in student enrollment and the number of programs offered at state, district, and multi-district levels. Although having been applied liberally to all core subjects and many supplemental subjects, online instruction has yet to be utilized extensively in the musical arts. Courses in music performance present a unique set of technological and logistical challenges when adapted to an online setting. Nevertheless, private music teachers have utilized Internet resources extensively. Similar techniques applied to public school music programs, however, have yet to be explored thoroughly. Utilizing a combination of asynchronous instruction and synchronous instruction for teaching online music performance courses offers a potential for study and development.
The purpose of this study was to establish the feasibility of an online music performance course that included both asynchronous and synchronous instruction. An approach that utilized both a multimedia blog format and real-time video instruction was developed, implemented, and delivered to a limited group of trombone students as a pilot study. Nine students participated in online trombone lessons that focused primarily upon the development of performance fundamentals. The delivery of content was assessed to determine a feasible format for music performance instruction in an online setting. Although typical technological shortcomings were experienced during instructional settings, students were able to identify, explain, and apply concepts gleaned from the blog and real-time video lessons.
Internet-based resources have been applied to independent and collegiate music performance instruction; pedagogical approaches, however, have not been developed for use in secondary level online learning programs. Consequently, online music performance instruction has not evolved as rapidly as online instruction of core academic subjects. As technological advances become available, the possibility for delivering online instruction in areas of the performing arts, and especially in music performance, becomes more feasible and likely will be integrated into the curricula of many online learning programs. Until such time, the implementation of viable online instructional models is essential for the development of traditional music performance courses.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Current technological development has a strong impact on education. Students normally have free access to computers and the internet. Computer-based instruction is more frequently available in classrooms and reinforces the traditional educational systems. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a computer-based program, Auralia 2.1, can be used effectively in the Music Certificate Course of the University Stellenbosch. Due to limited time during lessons as well as time-constraints for individual practising by the students, the researcher investigated the efficacy of Auralia 2.1 for use in the classroom. Students are able to practise individually during lessons as well as on their own. The problem to find a peer to practise aural training is therefore avoided as the computer fulfills this function. The researcher administered Auralia 2.1 on a group of eight Certificate students from the University Stellenbosch. The evaluation period consisted of two semesters of fourteen weeks each. The researcher used the traditional method of aural training in the first semester and she used Auralia 2.1-sessions in the second semester. The researcher compared the two semesters to each other to ensure the integrity of the results of the research. The researcher systematically held record of observations as well as the progress of the students. Questionnaires were completed and interviews were held as part of the evaluation process. Suggestions are made in this thesis on how Auralia 2.1 can be used effectively for educational aims.

Rekenaargesteunde onderrig kom toenemend in klaskamers voor en word ter versterking van die tradisionele onderwysstelsel gebruik. Die doelstelling van hierdie navorsing was om te bepaal of ‘n rekenaargesteunde onderrigprogram, naamlik Auralia 2.1, effektief benut kan word in die musiekoorbruggingsprogram (Sertifikaatkursus) van die Universiteit Stellenbosch. Weens beperkte klastyd en ‘n gebrek by Sertifikaatstudente aan noodsaaklike tyd vir gehooropleidingsoefeninge, het die navorser ondersoek ingestel na die effektiwiteit van Auralia 2.1, vir gebruik in die klas. Die studente kon met behulp van die rekenaar individueel tydens asook buite klastyd oefen. Probleme om ‘n “oefenmaat” vir gehoor te vind is dus uitgeskakel aangesien die rekenaar daardie funksie vervul het. Die navorser het die program Auralia 2.1 op ‘n groep van agt Sertifikaatstudente van die Universiteit Stellenbosch toegepas. Die evaluering het oor twee semesters van veertien weke elk gestrek. Die navorser het in die eerste semester ‘n tradisionele metode van gehooropleiding gevolg en in die tweede semester het sy gebruik gemaak van Auralia 2.1-sessies. Die navorser het die twee semesters met mekaar vergelyk om sodoende die integriteit van die navorsingsresultate te verseker. Daar is tydens die navorser se studie sistematies verslag van die waarnemings en die studente se vordering gehou. Vraelyste is voltooi en onderhoude gevoer as deel van die evalueringsproses. In hierdie tesis word daar ook voorstelle gemaak oor hoe Auralia 2.1 effektief gebruik kan word vir opvoedkundige doeleindes.
