Abstract Details

2022, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Music Education.
Parents’ musical parenting decisions are informed by their life experiences and have form the basis on young children’s musical experiences. While there is ample research regarding mothers’ musical parenting, fathers’ musical parenting is less prevalent in the research literature. The purpose of this narrative inquiry was to provide a rich portrait of one father’s experience of musical parenting. The following questions guided this study: (a) What values, beliefs, attitudes, and aspirations inform the participant’s musical parenting? (b) How has the participant’s musical background influenced his current experience of musical parenting? (c) How has participation in a Music Early Learning Program shape the participant’s broader experience of musical parenting and parenting musically? I recount the participant’s narrative and share implications for parents; Music Early Learning Program instructors and directors; and music education researchers.
