What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy?

What is Music Literacy? attempts to redefine music literacy with a more expansive meaning than is commonly in use and to articulate the potential impact of these ideas on music teaching practice. The notion of music literacy has involved the ability to read and write music scores. However this understanding does not extend theory to identify all music texts nor to offer a thorough treatment of what impact an expanded notion of music literacy might have on music instruction in the classroom and in ensembles. This book provides a formal expansive redefinition of music literacy. The author offers practical ideas for attending more effectively to music literacy in classroom instruction. The book highlights common elements in the music classroom: the music score the conductor surrounding ensemble members the musical model the musical instrument and presentations/recordings. It also describes four orientations that correspond to the National Core Music Standards (2014) and that characterize humans’ interactions with music: creator performer responder and connector. What is Music Literacy? uses these orientations along with a focus on authentic music texts and literacies to present literacy-based guidelines for music education along with numerous vignettes that describe actual literacy instructional events. | What is Music Literacy?

Music Education for Social Change Constructing an Activist Music Education

Music Education for Social Change Constructing an Activist Music Education

Music Education for Social Change: Constructing an Activist Music Education develops an activist music education rooted in principles of social justice and anti-oppression. Based on the interviews of 20 activist-musicians across the United States and Canada the book explores the common themes perceptions and philosophies among them positioning these activist-musicians as catalysts for change in music education while raising the question: amidst racism and violence targeted at people who embody difference how can music education contribute to changing the social climate? Music has long played a role in activism and resistance. By drawing upon this rich tradition educators can position activist music education as part of a long-term response to events as a crucial initiative to respond to ongoing oppression and as an opportunity for youth to develop collective expressive and critical thinking skills. This emergent activist music education—like activism pushing toward social change—focuses on bringing people together expressing experiences and identifying (and challenging) oppressions. Grounded in practice with examples integrated throughout the text Music Education for Social Change is an imperative and urgent consideration of what may be possible through music and music education. | Music Education for Social Change Constructing an Activist Music Education

Music Teachers' Values and Beliefs

Music Teachers' Values and Beliefs

In Music Teachers' Values and Beliefs Dwyer investigates the relationships between teachers learners and music in music classrooms. Using Bourdieu's concepts of habitus and doxa as an interpretive lens the book explores the values and beliefs of four music teachers depicted in richly detailed narratives. The narratives are contextualised through the examination of traditions of music and contemporary approaches. In the past music education has been shaped by elitist tendencies regarding the types of music worthy of study the ways in which music should be learnt and the purpose of such learning. Contemporary approaches to music education have enacted significant change in some regions and systems while others have been slower to leave behind deeply entrenched values beliefs and practices. These approaches have been blamed for low rates of participation and engagement in school music education despite the fact that the majority of young people listen to and enjoy music outside of school. This innovative book provides music education researchers and practitioners with a new understanding of the impact of teachers' personal values beliefs and experiences of music and music education on classroom practice and the impact this has on students' experiences of music education.

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America’s Black Music Roots presents a new framework for racial justice discourse in the context of music studies and education. Centering on Black American Music the book issues challenges to both the conventional music studies paradigm and decades-old reform efforts. While Black American Music ranks high among America’s contributions to world culture and offers musicians powerful tools for musical practice and understanding this musical legacy remains remarkably marginalized even in activist conversations. The author argues that this reflects lingering and unexamined racist patterns that persist even among the most fervent voices for anti-racist interventions and addresses the need for a higher-order activist framework within music studies. Delving further into the transformative changes needed to pursue racial justice the short pieces collected in this book discuss topics including a shift from multicultural ideology to a transcultural model of musical pluralism analysis of the multi-tiered nature of musical racism the whitewashing of music studies activism K-12 music teacher education as the locus for paradigmatic change and the potential for a transformed model of music studies to catalyze an overarching revolution in creativity and consciousness in both education and society at large. Critiquing the failures of progressive reform efforts and conventional reaction this book argues that major changes are needed to the discourse on racism in music studies and envisions new paradigms for the future. | Music Studies and Its Moment of Truth: Leading Change through America's Black Music Roots CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Black Power Music Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement

Black Power Music Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement

Black Power Music! Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement critically explores the soundtracks of the Black Power Movement as forms of movement music. That is to say much of classic Motown soul and funk music often mirrored and served as mouthpieces for the views and values as well as the aspirations and frustrations of the Black Power Movement. Black Power Music! is also about the intense interconnections between Black popular culture and Black political culture both before and after the Black Power Movement and the ways in which the Black Power Movement in many senses symbolizes the culmination of centuries of African American politics creatively combined with and ingeniously conveyed through African American music. Consequently the term Black Power music can be seen as a code word for African American protest songs and message music between 1965 and 1975. Black Power music is a new concept that captures and conveys the fact that the majority of the messages in Black popular music between 1965 and 1975 seem to have been missed by most people who were not actively involved in or in some significant way associated with the Black Power Movement. | Black Power Music Protest Songs Message Music and the Black Power Movement

World Music Pedagogy Volume VII: Teaching World Music in Higher Education

World Music Pedagogy Volume VII: Teaching World Music in Higher Education addresses a pedagogical pathway of varied strategies for teaching world music in higher education offering concrete means for diversifying undergraduate studies through world music culture courses. While the first six volumes in this series have detailed theoretical and applied principles of World Music Pedagogy within K-12 public schools and broader communities this seventh volume is chiefly concerned with infusing culture-rich musical experiences through world music courses at the tertiary level presenting a compelling argument for the growing need for such perspectives and approaches. These chapters include discussions of the logical trajectories of the framework into world music courses through which the authors seek to challenge the status quo of lecture-only academic courses in some college and university music programs. Unique to this series each of these chapters illustrates practical procedures for incorporating the WMP framework into sample classes. However this volume (like the rest of the series) is not a prescriptive recipe book of lesson plans. Rather it seeks to enrich the conversation surrounding cultural diversity in music through philosophically-rooted social justice-conscious and practice-oriented perspectives.
