Abstract Details

2009, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Education/Instrumental Music Education.
The purpose of this study was to examine the history, growth, and development of an award winning public school string program. This study provided a description of a model of an excellent orchestra program and produced a general benefit to novice teachers who are setting up new programs, and to music educators by adding to our knowledge of the unique characteristics of a successful string program. There were three major sections of discussion in this study: (1) preparation for setting up a string program; (2) delivery of instruction in elementary, middle school, and high school levels of the program; and (3) continued growth, development, and support of the program. This research was accomplished by analysis of the following data: (a) live observations of class instruction at elementary, middle school, and high school, (b) orchestra handbooks and documents regarding curriculum and other guidelines; and (c) transcripts of interviews with faculty from Upper Arlington City Schools. Results show that individual faculty qualifications and experience prepare them to teach all levels of string classes. Based on their experiences, they are able to create an organized curriculum, design goal directed instructional plans, teach effectively as a team, and sustain a successful string program.
