Music From Delivering Authentic Arts Education

This activity challenged my critical listening skills and developed my ability to appraise music and use aesthetic sensitivity while concentrating on listening to identify the music elements. It was evident that the composer manipulates all the musical elements and qualities to accurately portray the narrative of the Moldau. Elements of music include duration, pitch, dynamic and expression, structure and style, timbre and texture (REF). For example, duration includes rhythm, beat, accent and tempo, that I was able to identify with the loud, triumphant calls of the hunter’s horn, the dominating French horns, and trumpets playing sharp, rhythmic notes. Also, pitch refers to the register of the note in a sound patter (REF). I was able to identify the cheerful mood of the melody that moves in an up and down pitch. Dynamics and expression are evident in the pattern of intensity and volume of the sound with loud trumpets as the river passes the rapids or the bassoon playing low and dark sounds that I thought contributes to dramatic

Math, science, history, and literature are some of the key subjects taught in schools. Students learn many skills needed for college in these courses. However, students cannot be truly prepared unless they have had the opportunity to express their creativity throughout elementary and high school. Many people support keeping the arts in schools because of the opportunities these programs provide students of all ages with. Though money might be an issue when it comes to supporting and funding the arts in schools, there are ways to overcome these obstacles. While subjects such as math, science, literature, and history are extremely important for students of all ages to learn, the visual and performing arts in school should be recognized with

My whole life I have dreamed of making a difference, helping people, and sharing my love of my career: music education. My chosen career will give me the wonderful responsibility of sharing my passion for music while teaching it to others in hopes that they too will love it and learn from the experience. Furthermore, I am pursuing a career in education because I aspire to make a positive difference in my community and in the world.

As a young boy, Bill Clinton loved everything about his music class in school. Clinton was in the school band and he played the tenor saxophone; it was his favorite pass time. His hard work paid off when he became one of the best saxophone players in his school and won first chair in the state band's saxophone section. Frightened of the future, Clinton used his musical talent to earn multiple academic and musical scholarships for college. Later in his life, Clinton ran for president and became the 42nd President of the United States ("It All Began in a Place Called Hope”). Clinton shows his support for the arts when he states, “I do not think I would have become President if it were not for my school music program” (qtd. in Wise 1). Art and music in public schools are usually funded by the government; however, not everyone agrees that these programs should be funded by the government. There are two main sides to the

Do you want to add light to your life? Arts programs in schools are crucial to students learning for many reasons Kids in school that take arts are guaranteed to expand their brain, and make life a little brighter. Kids cannot do this if schools have no programs in the arts. We need the arts in schools for all sorts of things and it is of great importance that they are included in the school curriculum .

Today, artists are looking for new ways for their music to be heard. There are so many ways people can listen to music now, from digital downloads and streams or music apps such as Pandora and Spotify. Also, schools are a big way of showing new music, it can be from a friend or on the school blog. School's blogs should be able to use an artist's music in advertising.

Title: Performing: Realizing artistic ideas and work through interpretation and presentation Description: Using pieces currently integrated into classroom instruction or musical pieces studied independently, students will select specific sections that exemplify technical/stylistic/artistic challenges to overcome; work toward improving the performance quality of identified challenges; demonstrate and document processes for addressing the challenges; demonstrate and reflect upon achievement.

This philosophy essay will focus on the current state of music education within secondary schools across Australia, choosing to address the particular issue of student access to appropriate levels of information, communication and technology interfaces (ICT’s) within the classroom, and the supporting role they play in music education. Secondary students do not always have equal opportunities and miss out on music participation due to conditions surrounding music provision – e.g. due to a “crowded curriculum” (too many cross-curricular activities and subjects), the impact of other subjects, lack of confidence among music teachers and shortage of resources (Hoegh-Guldberg, 2013). This essay explores how the current lack of availability and use of ICT’s for music education purposes, as well as the general lack of music technology resources and facilities can have a detrimental effect on student learning, or lack there-of. If students do not have access to the level of technology and support that they need to adhere to certain technological requirements in the Australian Curriculum, then they are deprived of the full benefit of teaching and learning in a modern technological era.

Few would argue against the idea that we educate ourselves and our society so that we have adequate means with which to understand and interact with elements of the world around us. Subjects such as mathematics, language, history, and the hard sciences are granted immediate and unquestioned legitimacy in our schools, and with good reason. We encounter each of these elements of our lives on a daily basis. We need to have an understanding of these disciplines in order to interact with them, otherwise they are meaningless to us. I submit that the same can be said for the fundamental concepts of music. Music is something that we encounter in our society every day. It surrounds us. Indeed

My first topic will be about 5 instruments, and the importance of playing them, and having basic understanding about them. I will describe each instrument’s importance for its inclusion on the list, and how each one uniquely enables people to translate their musical ideas into tangible realities.

Kamsi is an enthusiastic music student who works well with others during group activities. Kamsi needs frequent reminders to stay on task in order to complete class assignments. Kamsi has a strong singing voice that he is able to use with good tone and projection. He finds playing the recorder and reading notes and rhythms challenging, but he is always willing to ask questions or schedule a lab. Kamsi should continue to practice reading notes on the staff and tapping out basic rhythmic patterns. This will better prepare him for music in grade 5. Kamsi recently composed a piece for recorder on Garage Band to portray the moment in his Cinderella story when his character was lifting their trophy. Kamsi indicated that he was happy the piece sounded

Music teachers are the backbone of all real musicains. Although it may the not be the most intriguing job, it eventually pays off. While a music teacher may not get the most pay or the best hours, but to be able to watch students become adept in music makes it worth it.

In this article, the author is linking music with academics. He gives various details about the current education system. He gives a suggestion about solving problems; one must give full attention to the problem continuously and work on it until a solution is found.According to Dana foundation research, high level of music practice can lead to better engagement of cognitive control processes and can reduce post error interference. The author also mentions that there are no B+ averages in music

The stigma associated with pursuing an education in the musical arts affects the decision of many musicians nationwide. The appeal of guaranteed financial and career stability of STEM and other paths of high demand jobs is very difficult to pass up, even by the most dedicated musicians. Then, the input and advice of outsiders come into play. These onlookers not only encourage study of the hard sciences and a foolproof path to success via university, but they also totally and blatantly discourage and belittle the intelligence, rationality and integrity of not just the paths of musicians, but all liberal artists. Don’t you want to make money? What do you mean you won’t have internships, don’t you want a job? How are you going to survive? This blitzkrieg of questioning and doubt, though theoretically peripheral to the bigger picture, is reasonably common, however, severely unjustified. Pursuing a formal college education in music is easily one of the best things you could do for yourself, regardless of whether or not this is the career path of your choosing. As a student of formal music education, you are actually being trained in more real world skills than most other majors, which will prepare you for many careers, making you stand-out amongst the masses. Being a music major, you learn more than just music, you learn problem-solving skills, how to communicate and collaborate, and how to overcome failure, which are all essential skills to have as a professional in today’s day

“Education- should enhance understanding of the world, of oneself, and of one’s own experience” (Kelly 2009). What is important about music education? There are many important aspects in music education like pedagogy and performance. For me, music education is about letting the students express themselves. Having the ability to give an idea or to vent is a vital tool in today’s society. This concept influences music because expression is not only in how to connect a phrase, but also how to tell a story. With my time in college, Dr. Joseph Frye will always tell me to tell a story with music. He will also ask me what I want to feel after playing a piece. This is what I believe is important in music education.
