This book offers a fresh and diverse perspective on home musical activities of young children from a variety of countries, including; Brazil, Denmark, Greece, Israel, Kenya, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, South Africa,Taiwan, the UK, and the United States. Narrowing their study to seven-year-olds from middle-class families, the articles in this volume argue that home musical experiences provide new and important windows into musical childhoods as they relate to issues of identity, family life, gender, culture, social class and schooling. Though childhood musical engagement differs considerably, it has direct implications for a better understanding of music education and childhood development. Using a wiki to share data and research across time and space, this volume is a model for collaborative cross-cultural research and is centered on the home as a primary research site for children's musical engagement.
Music is one of the most universal ways of expression and communication in human life and is present in the everyday lives of people of all ages and from all cultures around the world. Music represents an enjoyable activity in and of itself, but its influence goes beyond simple amusement. Listening to music, singing, playing, composing and improvising, individually and collectively, are common activities for many people: these activities not only allow the expression of personal inner states and feelings, but also can bring many positive effects to those who engage in them. There is an increasing wealth of literature concerning the wider benefits of musical activity, and research in the scie...
Voice and Identity draws from the knowledge and expertise of leading figures to explore the evolving nature of voice training in the performing arts. The authors in this international collection look through both practical and theoretical lenses as they connect voice studies to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and to gender and gender diversity. The book offers chapters that focus on practical tools and tips for voice teachers, and the text also includes chapters that give rich social, cultural, and theoretical discussions that are both academic and accessible, with a particular focus on gender diverse, gender non-binary, transgender, and inclusionary voice research. Offering interdisciplinary insights from voice practitioners and scholars from the disciplines of actor training, singing, public speaking, voice science, communication, philosophy, women’s studies, Indigenous studies, gender studies, and sociology, this book will be a key resource for practitioners and researchers engaged in these fields. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Voice and Speech Review journal.
This book examines four main areas of music in early childhood: the traditions of music for young children, their capacities for music, the way they make music with others, and constructed and mediated musical childhoods. It studies several themes in detail, including music making in the home and family life, various musical experiences in schools, day cares, and the community at large in several locations around the globe. It looks at technology and diverse musical repertoires, as well as innovative pedagogies, children’s agency, and brain research. Expanding on the knowledge bases on which early childhood music education typically draws, the book brings together contributions from a range of authors from diverse fields such as education, psychology, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, philosophy, ethnomusicology, and the neurosciences. The end result is a volume that offers a broad and contemporary picture of music in early childhood.
In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world causing physical, emotional, economic, and social upheaval in every part of the globe. It also catalyzed a renewed interrogation, by music education faculty in higher education, of philosophies and practices that had long gone unexamined. Music Education on the Verge: Stories of Pandemic Teaching and Transformative Change is a collection of narratives by music teacher-educators describing how they responded to the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic with, and for, their students. Through these stories, the authors step back and reflect on the events, challenges, triumphs, and innovations discovered as they prepared the next generation of m...
Esta obra reúne de forma inédita ensaios sobre o trabalho de dez grandes pedagogos musicais, sendo leitura fundamental para quem deseja, de fato, compreender as concepções de educação musical que temos na atualidade. De ponta a ponta, seja no Brasil, seja na América Latina ou pelo mundo afora, essas pedagogias fazem parte dos currículos de educação musical das principais instituições de formação docente e de milhares de escolas de ensino básico e conservatórios. Há imenso valor histórico, sociológico, educacional, filosófico e psicológico nas ideias desses clássicos. Conhecer seu legado pedagógico implica entender as múltiplas formas de pensar e atuar no ensino de música. Afinal, essas pedagogias constituem parte da história e dos fundamentos da educação musical e conhecê-las é também um modo de compreender melhor a nossa educação.
Considerando a falta de recursos didáticos sobre os métodos, os educadores e as propostas da educação musical, os autores desta obra apresentam pedagogias que marcaram época no Brasil. Composta por oito capítulos, a presente coletânea ressalta recortes específicos da história da música e da educação musical no país. Entre as ideias compartilhadas pelos autores, estão as de artistas como Heitor Villa-Lobos, Esther Scliar e Sá Pereira, entre outros.
Neste livro, trazemos a seguinte questão: É viável a utilização de jogos musicais como estratégias didáticas para a formação de professores pedagogos, leigos em música, com o objetivo de habilitá-los a contribuir com a musicalização de crianças da educação infantil? Este livro traz o resultado de uma pesquisa-ação-colaborativa, que envolveu um professor de música, duas professoras pedagogas e suas turmas de crianças de 3 anos de idade. Analisamos como os jogos musicais foram utilizados pelas referidas professoras. Observamos a assimilação que elas fizeram sobre os conceitos relativos às propriedades do som (altura, duração, timbre e intensidade), por meio do uso de j...
