An Analysis of Select Beginning Band Method Books and the Level to which They Address the National Standards for Music Education

Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Music.

The purpose of this study was to find the level to which selected beginning band method books addressed the National Standards for Music Education, grades 5-8. Twelve method books were selected from 1994-2010 that were available nationally and were currently used in the public and private school systems of the United States.

The beginning band method books were analyzed, and the exercises contained within them were labeled according to the Content and Achievement Standard they addressed. The clarinet, book 1 was used for the study as the primary source of information regarding the method’s addressing of the Standards. Publisher information regarding supplemental materials was included in the study.

Additional information was provided about the method books, including the date of publication, names of the authors, and the number of exercises presented. An overview of each method was given and key features of each method were listed. All method books studied met at least two Content Standards, with the majority addressing additional Standards.
