Ethical Dimensions of Peer Review for Practitioner Journals in Music Education
In this article, we extrapolate from writings addressing peer review in research journals, and general essays for all published writing, to consider the process of review in journals created for music education practitioners. We examine potential biases in recruiting review board members, the practices of reviewers, and the responsibilities of editors who shepherd the manuscript through the system. Further, questions arise concerning the ethics o…
Composition in Choral Settings
Writing choral music is about learning to express to myriad feelings, sensations, and ideas that live in words through the almost innumerable colors of the human voice. This chapter presents some of the ideas that contemporary composers have articulated about their composing process, shaping their statements about how to compose into a series of musical explorations and composing projects that can be completed and repeated during choir classes. I…

We investigated the efficacy of a phenomenological matrix of mindfulness as a framework for examining expectations, formal meditation experiences, and appraisals of first-year college music students ( N = 18) who participated in a 5-day mindfulness module offered through an introductory course in music education. Participants expressed hopes that meditation would help them manage stress and anxiety, improve their focus and relationships, and supp…

Tillage practices and identity formation in High Plains farming
In this article, the authors examine the ideological tensions of organic and chemical farmers in the High Plains. They show that the identity of these farmers is created and maintained through competing systems of tillage and the ideologies that support them, which also shape the agricultural landscape. Specifically, they compare conservation tillage wedded to 'modern' ideologies of scientific farming with conventional tillage newly linked to bel…
A Case Study of Teaching Musical Expression to Young Performers
What does it mean to teach musical expression to child performers? Is it teaching how to interpret a piece of music “correctly,” or is there more involved? In this case study, we explored the beliefs and practices of five teachers who specialized in teaching children to perform in a variety of musical performance areas, including violin, cello, piano, guitar, voice, and musical theater. To discover their pedagogy for teaching musical expressivity…
