Abstract Details

2019, Master of Music (MM), Bowling Green State University, Music Education/Comprehensive Music Education.
This study explored how five elementary general music teachers include world musics in their curriculums, their reasons for inclusion, their resource selection process, and the educational and professional development opportunities in which these teachers have participated. Individual semi-structured interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed for emerging categories and themes. Four broad themes emerged from the data: (a) Rationale for the Inclusion of World Musics/Benefits to Students; (b) Implementation and Teaching Approaches; (c) World Musics Resource Selection Process; and (d) Teacher Learning/Professional Development. Many of the decisions about the presentation and representation of world musics in these teachers’ curriculums may have been reflections of their attitudes toward, and experience with, world musics. Because this study investigated five elementary general music teachers, expanding the number of participants may provide a more comprehensive understanding of what influences teachers’ inclusion of world musics. Implications for the field of music education in relation to teacher education programs and professional development opportunities are discussed, and suggestions are made for further research.
