Raquel Brauker, Renaissance Public School Academy Noise-induced Hearing Loss: A Review of the Literature for Musicians
The purpose of this paper is to identify a specific kind of hearing loss called noise induced hearing loss. Discussed are causes of noise induced hearing loss and how it affects a musician. From normal everyday environmental noise, to all of the music musicians perform in rehearsals, practice rooms and performances, musicians are constantly exposing themselves to noises that exceed the daily recommended decibels. This paper shows different ways musicians are exposed to noise-induced hearing loss as well as ways to test for it. If a musician is diagnosed with noise- induced hearing loss there are few treatments that they can try before the damage is too severe. The best way to deal with noise-induced hearing loss is to take preventative actions by protecting your ears with earplugs and limiting the amount of exposure to loud noises. A musician can also learn and pass along healthy listening habits and hearing health in order to stop the problem of noise induced hearing loss before it begins to affect other musicians.
John Churchville, Go Like the Wind School Perceptions and Practice of Multicultural Music Education in the United States: A Review of Literature
The purpose of this literature review is to present three important aspects of multicultural music education, (1) the history of multicultural education in the United States, (2) preference for music of different cultures, and (3) assessment and practical applications. Issues related to perceived need, student perceptions, teachers’ attitudes, and practical applications of multicultural music education will be examined. Defining terms for multicultural music education, the development of a cohesive philosophy and practical integrations are given as suggestions for further practice and research.
Jeffrey Crabtree, Central Michigan University Balancing Competition with Collaboration in the Music Ensemble: A literature review of Leadership and Motivation
The purpose of this literature review is to guide music educators in balancing competitive, collaborative leadership and motivational approaches in ensemble development. Research on competition in music leads to the recommendation to eliminate competition in the educational ensemble. However, research on motivation suggests students who are extrinsically motivated may benefit from competition, while students motivated by intrinsic factors require other types of motivation. This paper critiques the common hierarchical system of chair placement and ranking (e.g. first chair, second chair, third chair) in band and orchestra sections, and suggests that that this system may work best when balanced with collaborative leadership development. There is an implied correlation between productivity and individual ownership in research on collaborative leadership development. Increases in productivity and quality are evident as more
