Remote Possibilities: A Natural Experiment Examining How Atypical Student Teaching Circumstances Affected Entry Into the Profession
The purpose of this study was to examine music and visual art teacher preparation program completers’ transition into the teacher labor force during the pandemic as compared to earlier cohorts and to non-arts teacher candidates. Leveraging linked administrative data from the Maryland Longitudinal Data System, we examined the teacher workforce entry of teacher preparation program completers who graduated between the 2013–2014 and 2021–2022 academi…
Doctor Who? A Demographic Profile of Doctoral Recipients in Music From 1984 to 2022
The purpose of this study was to examine the demographic profile of doctoral music recipients by discipline from 1984 to 2022. Using sociological institutionalist and feminist institutionalist frameworks, I analyzed institution-level panel data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System ( N = 3,461) to examine the demographic characteristics of doctoral recipients in music education, music history/musicology, music theory/composition…
Crossing borders and generations: Examining the relationship between music engagement and immigration generation
The purpose of this study was to examine differences in music engagement across immigration generations among different racial/ethnic groups for adults living in the United States. I conducted secondary analysis of two 2018 nationally representative surveys, the February Current Population Survey (CPS) and the Self-Perceptions of Creativity and Arts Participation (SPCAP). CPS questions for music engagement included formalised operations of perfor…
The Workforce Entry and Teaching Responsibilities of New Music Education Graduates: Evidence From a State Longitudinal Data System
The purpose of this study was to investigate Maryland music teacher education program completers’ background and transition into the K–12 public school music teacher ( N = 700). Using data from the Maryland Longitudinal Data System between 2008 and 2020, I examined characteristics associated with music teacher employment in the public schools, the job responsibilities of new music teachers, the characteristics of schools in which new music teache…
Public High School Music Education in Maryland: Issues of Equity in Access and Uptake
The purpose of this study was to investigate issues of equity in access, uptake, and outcomes of high school music education in the context of an individual state, Maryland. I explored equity through four angles: (a) representation among music students and teachers, (b) factors associated with access to music courses, (c) student and school characteristics associated with music enrollment, and (d) postsecondary enrollment outcomes of students who…
Do Declining Enrollments Predict Teacher Turnover in Music
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential relationship between student enrollment trends in elective secondary music ensembles and music ensemble teacher job turnover. Although student enrollment is widely accepted as an important concern for music educators and a crude proxy measure of music teacher quality, these normative beliefs have not been thoroughly examined empirically. This study tested these beliefs using data from a S…
Stigma, beliefs and perceptions regarding prostate cancer among Black and Latino men and women
Black and Latino focus groups revealed the existence of cultural beliefs, misunderstandings and fears pertaining to PC which could influence health-related behaviors. Some themes were common across groups; others suggested racial and gender predilections. Future targeted efforts focused on directly addressing prevalent misperceptions among underserved communities in urban settings could help to improve health literacy and equity in PC outcomes in…
The Effect of Wearing Foam and Etymotic Earplugs on Classical Musicians’ Pitch Perception
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of wearing earplugs on classical musicians’ pitch perception across three experimental conditions: no earplugs, foam earplugs, and Etymotic earplugs. Participants were graduate and undergraduate music majors attending a large school of music in the southeastern United States ( N = 72). Participants adjusted the pitch of five complex stimulus tones (C#4, C#5, C#3, G#4, and F#3) using a contin…
The Effect of Register, Direction, and Magnitude on Musicians’ Evaluations of Chamber Ensemble Intonation: A Within-Study Comparison for Analysis of Repeated Measures
This study had two primary purposes: (1) to investigate the effect of register, direction, and magnitude on musicians’ evaluation of chamber ensemble intonation, and (2) determine whether a novel nonparametric technique, ordinal pattern analysis (OPA), was a viable alternative to repeated-measures analysis of variance (rANOVA). I digitally mastered a recording of a string quartet performing a phrase from Capriol Suite by altering the intonation o…

Psychosocial Status in Chronic Illness: A Comparative Analysis of Six Diagnostic Groups
Assumptions that psychological attributes are specific to particular diagnoses characterize many investigations of chronically ill patients. We studied 758 patients, each of whom had one of six different chronic illnesses, to determine and compare their scores on the Mental Health Index. Five groups of physically ill patients (with arthritis, diabetes, cancer, renal disease, or dermatologic disorders) did not differ significantly from one another…
