The Effect of Excerpt Duration and Music Education Emphasis on Ratings of High Quality Children’s Choral Performances
Authors: Napoles Jessica 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of excerpt length on music education majors’ ratings of children’s choral performances. A secondary purpose was to determine whether there were any differences in ratings between choral and instrumental music education majors. Participants (28 choral music education majors and 44 instrumental music education majors from a large western university) listened to 10 excerpts of high-quality children’s choral performances and rated them on pitch accuracy rhythmic accuracy, tone quality expressiveness, and overall impression, using a 7-point Likert-type scale. Participants were assigned to one of two groups. The only difference between the groups was that, if Group 1 listened to an excerpt that was 20 seconds long Group 2 listened to that same excerpt for 60 seconds, and vice versa. Results of a three-way ANOVA with repeated measures indicate there were significant interactions between major and excerpt length (F (1, 64) = 6.06, p = .01, partial η² = .08) and between piece and excerpt length (F (9, 576) = 2.39, p = .01, partial η² -.03). Participants rated excerpts that were 60 seconds long slightly higher than excerpts that were 20 seconds long There were no significant differences between the ratings of instrumental and choral music education majors, although instrumental majors tended to rate excerpts higher than choral majors.
Factors Influencing Listeners’ Perception of Expressiveness for a Conducted Performance
Authors: Peddell Lewes T. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This study investigated (a) how participants’ (N = 116) real-time ratings of perceived expressiveness were influenced by observing conducted musical stimuli from five observational perspectives characterized by various combinations of visual audio and audiovisual presentation; (b) factors that may have influenced participants’ expressiveness ratings, including level of college music education, researcher-declared conductor behaviors, and participant-declared factors; and (c) assessment of the validity and reliability of the Personal Digital Assistant with Continuous Response Digital Interface software (PDA-CRDI) used in this study Participants’ mean perception of expressiveness rating for audio-only stimuli was significantly higher than those for both visual-only stimuli, as well as for the audiovisual stimuli presented from the audience perspective. Graduate level music majors commented with greater frequency than expected on conductor behavior and less than expected on musical stimuli. The factors Musical Experience with the Stimuli and Conductor Behavior were rated significantly more influential than Performer Behaviors. The PDA-CRDI was found to be a markedly reliable and moderately valid method for measuring continual response data.
Novice and Skilled Music Teachers’ Nonverbal Behaviors and Their Relationship to Perceived Effectiveness and Rapport
Authors: Johnson Christopher , Darrow Alice-Ann , Eason Becky J. A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine if a relationship exists between skilled and novice music teachers’ nonverbal behaviors and their perceived effectiveness and rapport. Participants (N = 108) viewed videotapes of four different choral teachers. Two teachers were proficient and experienced, and two were novice. Participants viewed these teachers in the following counterbalanced settings: (a) an accomplished teacher conducting a fine choral ensemble, (b) a novice teacher conducting a poor choral ensemble, (c) an accomplished teacher conducting a poor choral ensemble, and (d) a novice teacher conducting a fine choral ensemble. In order to determine the effectiveness of the teachers’ nonverbal behaviors, participants observed the teachers under one of four conditions: audio/video, audio-alone, video-alone, and transcript-only of the teaching episodes. Participants wrote observational comments and gave each teacher a numeric rating for rapport and effectiveness. Results of data analysis indicated that the evaluations of rapport and effectiveness were highly related (r = .85). Except for teacher #1 in the transcript-only condition, expert teachers were rated higher than novice teachers. The positive/negative comment ratio was generally reflective of the evaluative score. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses indicate that teachers’ ratings and comments were influenced by the evaluators’ ability to observe the teachers’ nonverbal behaviors under the various conditions, and that the greatest percentage of expert teachers’ comments were related to nonverbal behaviors. In all but the transcript-only condition for one teacher, effective teaching (as determined by previous research using the same stimuli) was evaluated as such.
Eyes Wide Open: High School Student Reflections on Music Teaching Experiences within a Pre-collegiate Recruitment Program
Authors: Miksza Peter , Austin James R. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This is a preliminary investigation of a pre-collegiate, music teacher recruitment initiative. Interviews were conducted at three points in time with 11 high school students serving as sectional coaches in a 12-week, middle school band outreach program. A video-assisted, stimulated recall protocol was used to elicit the participants’ (a) awareness of their teaching, (b) thoughts about student improvement, (c) thoughts about potential improvements to their teaching, and (d) sense of teacher identity. Data consisted of over 1000 coded statements drawn from over 400 minutes of interviews. Responses indicated a predominance of concern about the following: evaluation of teaching, communication ability, establishing a sense of comfort, implementation of teaching strategies, student learning, student motivation, and adapting to students in the moment. Analyses of trends over time indicated progressively less concern with communication ability and comfort, and more focus on individualizing instruction and adapting to students in the moment. Participants ideas for improvements in their teaching revealed shifts from self-focus at interview 1 (e.g., mannerisms, organization) to a focus on the act of teaching at interviews 2 and 3 (e.g., efficiency, pacing). Participants’ sense of teacher identity increased significantly over time (p &lt; .001) and 73% of those eligible (i.e., 6 of 8 seniors, 2 of 3 juniors) went on to pursue music education in college. Approaches for modifying the recruitment initiative are discussed.
Relationships among Parental Influences, Selected Demographic Factors, Adolescent Self-Concept as a Future Music Educator, and the Decision to Major in Music Education
Authors: McClellan Edward R. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine relationships among parental influences, selected demographic factors, academic achievement, adolescent self-concept as a future music educator, and the decision to major in music education. Subjects (N = 148) were volunteer undergraduate music education students enrolled in North Carolina and Idaho. Each subject completed the PISCAMES survey and data were examined using descriptive analysis, correlational analysis, stepwise multiple regression analysis, and analysis of variance. Parental influences were related to self-concept as a music educator, parental influence on decision to major in music education contributed to the devehpment of self-concept, and increases in self-concept as a future music educator were influenced by differences in parental influence. Specifically, parents’ feelings regarding successful completion of education and musical ability necessary to be a successful music educator had significant (p &lt; .001) impact on their son’s/daughter’s self-concept as a future music educator.
The Benefits of New Horizons Band Participation as Self-Reported by Selected New Horizons Band Members
Authors: Jutras Peter J. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
New Horizons Band Members (N = 1,823) from 28 U.S. States and Canada rated the existence and importance of 42 potential benefits of the New Horizons experience. Benefits were organized into four categories: Healthy Personal, Skill, and Social/Cultural. Of these categories, Skill-related benefits were most frequently identified by band members as components of their experiences, followed by Social/Cultural, Personal, and Health benefits, respectively. On ratings of importance, these categories were ranked in the same order. The individual benefits found to have the highest percentages of existence were Accomplishment, Play/Fun, New Friends, Skill Refinement, and Challenge. The individual benefits with the highest ratings of importance were Play/Fun, Accomplishment, Technique, and Challenge. Social/Cultural benefits were rated much higher than a similar study of adult piano students. Findings suggest that while participants are interested in musical improvement, they also place a high value on Personal and Social benefits provided by the experience.
Masculine and Dead in the Mining Community: The Gendering of Death and the Monongah Mine Explosion of 1907
Authors: Schmoll Brett 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Much has been written about mine accidents in Appalachia but not the role that gender has played in responding to these accidents. This paper redresses this lacuna, focusing on one case—the mine explosion in Monongah, West Virginia, in 1907. The public response to this tragedy was partly determined by a gendering of the miners. Scholars have tended to focus on the labor conditions and the ethnic or social divisions in Appalachian communities. This article demonstrates that following the disaster, the public concentrated on the gender of the dead miners, often emphasizing their manliness in ways unseen outside of the context of a disaster. The article begins with a general historical overview of the Monongah tragedy. It then explores the relationship of gender and death in four ways: the impact, albeit temporary, the disaster had in lessening the importance of social and ethnic divisions in the community; the role the disaster played in reetching gender roles with heavy emphasis on the masculinity of the dead miners; the temporary supplanting of males as heads of households pending the return to the norm as new males grew into roles left by dead male miners; and the permanent iconographie impact the tragedy has on the communities resulting from grief and unresolved healing. This overwhelming grief produced what can best be described as a community of death, an area saturated with morbid images, dead bodies, funeral processions, rescuers locked in gruesome toil, and thousands of other people who were either directly impacted by death or were there to gaze at those in mourning. The text ends on a broader note by examining the public response to death in Monongah and in the process suggests a new scholarly framework for examining death in the mines.
"Where I’m From:" Does Strong Teacher Appalachian Identity Impact Views of Student Efficacy?
Authors: Winter Linda K. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Teacher candidates in a beginning educational psychology course were surveyed about how they believe others perceive the communities and the region these students consider "home." Subjects were asked whether these outsiders’ beliefs were accurate and then were given an opportunity to correct misconceptions others might have about their values or traits. Additionally, subjects, most of whom plan to teach in Appalachia, characterized the strengths of, and expressed concerns about, their future public school students. While all but two percent of the subjects hailed from Appalachia, identification as "Appalachian" was weak; students also perceived that others outside the region viewed them in negative, regionally stereotypical terms which the subjects rejected as untrue. However, the majority of these same subjects, all future teachers, characterized their future students as having many unfavorable, stereotypical learning characteristics. These findings are important for teacher educators, especially considering the decades of research demonstrating the impact of teacher expectations on student performance.
