Paschall, Shannon Suzanne

Abstract Details

2006, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Education/Comprehensive Music Education.
The purpose of this study was to review five beginning band methods for inclusion of comprehensive musicianship and adherence to the National Standards for Music Education. Band Expressions (Smith & Smith, 2003), Essential Elements 2000 Plus DVD (Lautzenheiser et. al., 2004), Standard of Excellence: Enhanced Comprehensive Band Method (Pearson, 2004), The Yamaha Advantage: Musicianship from Day One (Clark & Feldstein, 2001), and Accent on Achievement (O’Reilly & Williams, 1997) were reviewed for inclusion of items, topics, and musical skills that each should address according to the National Standards for Music Education as well as books, articles, and studies on comprehensive musicianship. The number of times each band method addresses a topic cited as a standard in the National Standards and/or included in comprehensive musicianship was charted. While all five band methods assist directors in providing comprehensive instruction and adhering to the National Standards, only Band Expressions integrates all of the topics reviewed in this thesis into the band method.
