Christopher M. Marra/University of Michigan Ann-Arbor Living a Double Life: Music Listening Practices of Undergraduate Music Education Majors
Te purpose of this study was to explore the music listening practices of pre-service music teachers through the lens of their music identi- ty. Specific research questions included: What are the music listening practices of pre-service music teachers? What meanings do they attri- bute to the music they are listening to? How do they describe the music they listen to with regard to their emerging identities as music ma- jors and future educators? A phenomenological

framework was used to capture the essence of this experience. Participants included a pur- poseful sampling of six undergraduate music education majors from a public Midwestern university. Primary sources of data collection included a one-week listening journal, one focus group interview, and one individual semi-structured interview with each partici- pant. Findings suggest that participants oſten grappled with their music listening practices as they consociate to their environmental context. A perceived hierarchy was discussed, which contributed to some participants withholding aspects of their music identity. Te data support the notion that pre-service music education institutions may wish to consider how inclusive their programs are to students’ music outside the classroom as well as provide strategies for future teachers to create more musically accept- ing and diverse classrooms.
Terese M. Touhey/Wayne State University emeritus “Te Study of Music in All its Various Branches:” Te Friday Morning Musicale of Tampa, Florida
Te Friday Morning Musicale (FMM) of Tampa, FL was founded in 1902 as a women’s music club committed to studying music. It is representative of many of the women’s clubs in the early 20th Century. Te FMM focused on musical education for the members, for students and the schools of Tampa, and for the public, thus contributing to music education ‘in the community’ of early 20th Century Tampa. Te Musicale established its Junior Department (ages 10-18) in 1917; granted men membership in 1923, and built its own clubhouse in 1927. Te Musicale is still in operation and the club- house is now on the National Record of Histor- ic Buildings. Te FMM remains committed to its original mission, showing the longevity of this organization.
