RESEARCH Pamela Stover, Chairperson Illinois Music Education Conference Research Sessions
You can take the girl out of Illinois, but you can’t take the Illinois out of the girl. Greetings from Toledo, Ohio where I am writing my last (I promise) research column for IMEA. In this column I would like to focus on the research sessions at the upcoming IMEA conference in January and I hope that many of you will be able to attend these excellent sessions.
First I would like to welcome Al Legutki as the new Research Chair for IMEA. Legutki began this fall as an Assistant Professor of Music Education at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois. He did his doctoral work at the University of Illinois and continues to be the associate editor of the Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education.
Te IMEA conference showcases research in three venues: a clinic, a paper reading session and a poster session. Te clinic and paper reading are formal research sessions whereas the poster session is an opportunity to visit with the researchers in an informal setting in the theater lobby. You can stop by on your way to another session or stay for the entire time. Researchers will have their posters or power points on display and will be available to give you an “elevator-trip” synopsis or a full presentation of their research. I encourage everyone to visit the research sessions and also to submit their own research for consideration for the 2013 Illinois Music Education Conference.
Benjamin Helton will present the Research Clinic on Tursday, January 26th from 3:45-5:00 pm in CC 203. His topic, Music and the Brain: Neuroscience Applications Tat Can Enhance Your Pedagogy, Expand Your Curriculum or Save Your Program, is timely and should be interesting for music educators of all levels.
Te Research Poster Session will be Friday, January 27th from 11:00 am–12:15 pm in the CC Teater Lobby. Te following seven research posters were selected for presentation:
Wesley Brewer, Roosevelt University, Music for all?: School and community profiles of marching bands participating in Bands of America grand nationals 1999-2009.
Derrick Crow, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, A correlational study of performance anxiety of non-musicians. Christian Hauser, Concordia University Chicago, Pre-service music teachers and composition: A pilot study. Rose A. Schmidt, University of Iowa,From the inside: Te Songwriters’ Workshop at a prison in the midwestern United States.
Julia T. Shaw, Northwestern University, Culturally responsive Kodály pedagogy: Te effect of using song literature from students’ cultural backgrounds on musical achievement and attitude in second grade African-American students. Pamela Stover, University of Toledo Eunice Boardman: From the one-room school to the University of Illinois, a career revisited.
Jui-Ching Wang, Northern Illinois University A “Chop-Suey” musician in a melting pot: Kuo-Huang Han and the Northern Illinois University World Music Program in 1975-1985.
In addition, Julia Shaw and Jui-Ching Wang will read their papers from the poster session at the paper reading session on Friday January 27th from 5:00-6:15 in CC 203. I hope to see you at the research sessions at IMEA in January, where I will be passing the “research baton” to Al Legutki.
