Descriptors and Preferences for Eastern and Western Musics by Japanese and American Nonmusic Majors
The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) consistency of terminology used by Japanese and American college students to describe musics of the two cultures; (2) subjects' preferences concerning musics of the two cultures; and (3) relationships between musical experience and preferences. The authors tested 487 nonmusic majors in the United States and Japan using taped materials. The stimuli consisted of 30-second representative excerpts of v…
Music, Education, and Community in Nineteenth-Century Kansas Euterpe, Tönnies, and the Academy on the Plains
This study applied the conceptual structures of gemeinschaft (community) and gesell-schaft (association) developed by the German sociologist Ferdinand Tonnies (1855–1936) to the history of music education in Kansas during the nineteenth century. It documents the interactions among musical activities, educational institutions, and community structures in the missions of the early nineteenth century, the relatively independent small town and rural …
A Study of High School Music Participants Stylistic Preferences and Identification Abilities in Music and the Visual Arts
Little is known about how high school students conceptualize the basic Classical-Romantic style dichotomy or how students operate within such a conceptual framework as concerns stylistic preference and identification. Thus 55 subjects were tested with music and visual arts exemplars to assess their preferences and stylistic identification abilities. Although there was a slight preference for the Classical style in general, an interesting interact…

A Case Study of a Chromesthetic
D, a middle-aged female art educator, exemplifies the phenomenon of chromesthesia or “ color hearing, ” a form of synesthesia in which a tone elicits a visual color experience as well as an auditory sensation. Extensive interviews and tests with music stimuli over a five-year period revealed a remarkable range and consistency of tone-color linkages. Absolute pitch, which D possesses independently of her chromesthesia, showed less stability than t…
The Influence of Loudness on the Discrimination of Musical Sound Factors
This study investigated the effects of differing loudness levels on discrimination of pitch, rhythm, duration, loudness, timbre, and tonal memory. Subjects were 101 university undergraduates, and comparisons were made for music versus nonmusic majors, males versus females, and those with exposure versus nonexposure to loud sounds. Analysis of variance procedures revealed the significant influence of varying loudness levels on rhythm, duration, lo…
Use of Positive and Negative Examples in Teaching the Concept of Musical Style
Basic principles of concept development dictate that a complex or abstract idea must be grasped as a result of many experiences with more concrete objects containing exemplars of the idea. The implications for the teacher are that he must select a wide variety of materials and activities in which an abstract idea is suggested quite prominently, yet is experienced in a reasonably natural setting. Thus, in the course of concept development, exempla…
A Study Involving the Visual Arts in the Development of Musical Concepts
rr 1 ODAY ART AND MUSIC are associated in humanities and allied arts courses with increasing frequency, but not always to the advantage of the student. While legitimate association may enhance the student's understanding of one or both areas, the contriving of spurious relationships or, at the other extreme, treating art and music as totally unrelated entities (one for Tuesday, the other for Thursday), may bring about more misconceptions than rea…
A Study in the Development of Music Listening Skills of Secondary School Students
In the classroom, we often count upon the mystical concept of Music, the Universal Language, to make up for our shortcomings in communicating about our subject with our students. We talk about the composer and performer; we supply pertinent historical facts; we even make a few broad generalizations about the stylistic characteristics of the composition. Invariably, we come to a point where we step aside and let the music speak for itself. The stu…
