“…I did not examine statistical indicators of reliability because I analyzed data using only item-level descriptive statistics, rather than inferential analyses. This decision was consistent with authors of recent studies who also reported respondents’ beliefs about their own personal behaviors and did not report measures of reliability (Egger & Springer, 2018; Regier et al, 2020; Silvey et al, 2016; Sims & Cassidy, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine inservice high school band directors’ perceptions and applications of democratic rehearsal procedures in concert band rehearsals. Respondents ( N = 216) were members of the National Association for Music Education who were currently teaching concert band at the high school level. Respondents indicated that “identify and describe opportunities for individual and ensemble performance improvement” and “student-led sectionals” were considered the most important democratic rehearsal procedures for their students to experience. These same procedures were also the most frequently used democratic rehearsal procedures. Analysis of open-ended responses revealed that respondents believed student ownership, student engagement, and student growth as musicians and leaders were advantages to implementing democratic rehearsal procedures. Potential disadvantages included issues related to student ability, rehearsal time limitations, unfamiliar classroom dynamics, and availability of classroom resources. Implications for music teachers are discussed.

“…Recommendations for questionnaire content included adding (a) “eye contact” to the list of practice behaviors, (b) “Laban gestures” to the list of practice strategies, and (c) open-response items asking participants to reflect on their conducting practice behaviors. Consistent with recent exploratory studies, we did not examine statistical indicators of survey reliability (Egger & Springer, 2019; Silvey et al, 2016; Sims & Cassidy, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine undergraduate conductors’ personal approaches to conducting practice, practice time allocation, and beliefs about their conducting abilities. Participants ( N = 126) were undergraduate conductors enrolled in basic conducting courses at 17 NASM (National Association of Schools of Music)–accredited institutions. Our findings indicated that “patterns” and “dynamics” were the most practiced conducting behaviors. “Sing or hum musical lines” and “silent conducting practice” were the most used practice strategies. Through responses to open-ended items, participants shared that hand independence was the most challenging conducting skill and wished that it was discussed more by their conducting instructor, while “conducting patterns” was the skill that came most naturally. Undergraduate conductors practiced an average of 48 minutes per week across 2 to 3 days, and during practice sessions they used a score almost three fourths of the time. Implications for conducting practice and curricula are discussed.

“…I chose not to examine statistical indicators of reliability because I felt that respondents would respond truthfully. This decision was consistent with authors of recent studies who also reported respondents' beliefs about their own personal behaviors and did not report measures of reliability (Egger & Springer, 2018;Silvey et al, 2016;Sims & Cassidy, 2015).…”

An examination of democratic educational processes within concert band rehearsals

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This dissertation consists of three projects that I designed to examine high school band directors' and collegiate musicians' experiences and perceptions of democratic educational processes within concert band rehearsals. The first investigation is a review of literature about democratic educational principles and their application in non-music and music classrooms. The second investigation is a phenomenological study of collegiate musicians' lived experiences with democratic rehearsal procedures in a concert band setting. Emergent themes included (a) the value of multiple perspectives, (b) ownership and musical agency, (c) engagement, (d) the ability to provide feedback, and (e) concerns with the amount of rehearsal time. The third investigation was a survey study of high school band directors' attitudes toward democratic rehearsal procedures, self-reported use in a typical rehearsal cycle, and perceived disadvantages and advantages. Results indicated that respondents believed several democratic rehearsal procedures were important for their students to experience; however, the frequency of their application was inconsistent. Taken together, results from these three projects indicated that democratic educational principles may be beneficial for students and teachers by providing opportunities for students to (a) actively engage in their learning, (b) exercise their agency, (c) work collaboratively, and (d) develop skills related to musical independence.
