Understanding Chinese American Parents: The Interplay of Chinese Tradition and Early Childhood Music Education in the United States Juan Julie Yu Dissertation submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music Education Janet Robbins, Ph.D., Chair Molly A.

Paul Scea, M.A. School of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2014 Keywords: Chinese American Parents, Early Childhood, Music Education, Acculturation Copyright 2014 Juan Julie Yu Abstract Understanding Chinese American Parents: The Interplay of Chinese Tradition and Early Childhood Music Education in the United States Juan Julie Yu The purpose of this study is to examine the acculturation experience of first-generation Chinese American parents and the values that inform their expectations for their children’s early childhood music education. A primary goal of this research is to gain a deeper understanding of the interplay of Chinese traditional culture and early childhood music education in the United States. The six participants for this study were first-generation Chinese American immigrants who at the time of the interviews had children under age eight and who resided in Philadelphia. As a qualitative multiple-case study, the primary data for this study were six sets of interviews, each set consisting of three different interviews with each of the six participants. Data were coded through the QSR NVivo software system and were analyzed and presented in the form of narrative portraits. The data analysis revealed four prominent themes that gave a voice to Chinese American parents. These themes included the importance of the traditional concept of guan in Chinese American parenting, the high value that Chinese Americans place on education, the function of music in Chinese culture, and the value of music education as moral cultivation. Considered within the context of the Chinese Americans’ acculturation experience, these themes brought to light a number of tensions that Chinese American parents confront in providing for the music education of their young children. More awareness of these tensions will help both early childhood music educators and Chinese American parents build a reciprocal relationship that bridges this “cultural gap” and balances traditional Chinese values with early childhood music education best practices in the United States. DEDICATION I dedicate this dissertation to my loving “tiger” parents and grandparents. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am forever grateful to the members of my dissertation committee who were more than generous with their expertise and precious time. First, I would like to give special thanks to Dr. Janet Robbins, my committee chair. She invested countless hours reading, revising, encouraging, and inspiring me throughout the long process of writing my dissertation. I appreciate most of all her patience. She is a mentor, a friend, and most importantly a loving American mom. I cannot sufficiently express my appreciation for her endless love and guidance. I would like to thank Dr. Molly Weaver for bringing me to the United States and providing me with this wonderful learning opportunity. Her amazing editorial skills taught me that even little things matter. I also want to thank Dr. Christopher Wilkinson for his wisdom and dedication, both of which touched me deeply. Finally, I must thank Dr. Joy Saab and Professor Paul Scea for their insightful advice on my dissertation revisions. My dissertation would not have been completed without the support of my editor and good friend Dr. David Carpenter. The time that he invested in editing my work and the continued support, encouragement, and love from his entire family were much appreciated. I would also like to thank all my participants for giving me their trust and for sharing with me their family stories. I hope that they enjoyed the process and sharing their stories as much as I enjoyed hearing them. Furthermore, I want to thank my friends who were the best cheerleaders and provided me with fun study breaks that kept me going. I want to thank Dr. Jianjun He, who encouraged me to pursue my Ph.D. in music education at West Virginia University. v Finally, I want to express my deepest gratitude to my parents and grandmother who supported me in pursuing my dream and allowed me time away from them to complete my Ph.D. They are living proof that “tiger” parents can be both strict and loving at the same time. My heartfelt thanks to them all. vi Table of Contents Chapter One Introduction……………………………………………………………………… ....1 Statement of Problem ...........................................................................................................4 Purpose of the Study ............................................................................................................6 Research Questions ..............................................................................................................6 Definitions............................................................................................................................7 Delimitation .........................................................................................................................7 Chapter Two Review of Related Literature .....................................................................................9 Early Childhood Education ..................................................................................................9 Parenting in Early Childhood...................................................................................9 Play in Early Childhood Education ........................................................................10 Early Childhood Music Education .....................................................................................14 Parenting in Early Childhood Music Education ....................................................15 Musical Play...........................................................................................................16 Traditional Chinese Values on Parenting and Music Education .......................................18 Parenting ................................................................................................................18 Confucianism and Music Education ......................................................................22 The Acculturation Experience of Chinese American Parents ............................................24 Summary ............................................................................................................................28 Chapter Three Research Methods ..................................................................................................29 Participants ........................................................................................................................32 Data Collection .................................................................................................................33 The Role of the Researcher ...............................................................................................37 vii Data Analysis ....................................................................................................................39 Confidentiality ..................................................................................................................41 Trustworthiness .................................................................................................................41 Summary ...........................................................................................................................43 Chapter Four Participant Portraits .................................................................................................44 Jean ....................................................................................................................................44 Steven .................................................................................................................................57 Joan ....................................................................................................................................64

    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • President: Franklin D. Roosevelt in Film
    The Evolving American Presidency Series Series Foreword: The American Presidency touches virtually every aspect of American and world politics. And the presidency has become, for better or worse, the vital center of the American and global political systems. The Framers of the American government would be dismayed at such a result. As invented at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Presidency was to have been a part of a government with shared and overlapping powers, embedded within a separation-of-powers system. If there was a vital center, it was the Congress; the Presidency was to be a part, but by no means, the centerpiece of that system. Over time, the presidency has evolved and grown in power, expectations, responsi- bilities, and authority. Wars, crises, depressions, industrialization, all served to add to the power of the presidency. And as the United States grew into a world power, presidential power also grew. As the United States became the world’s leading super- power, the presidency rose in prominence and power, not only in the U.S., but on the world stage. It is the clash between the presidency as invented and the presidency as it has devel- oped that inspired this series. And it is the importance and power of the modern American presidency that makes understanding the office so vital. Like it or not, the American Presidency stands at the vortex of power both within the United States and across the globe. This Palgrave series recognizes that the Presidency is and has been an evolving institu- tion, going from the original constitutional design as a Chief Clerk, to today where the president is the center of the American political constellation.

L’union alors célébrée du sacré, du pouvoir et du savoir s’inscrit en tension avec une modernité d’abord caractérisée par la différenciation des institutions et des valeurs. Partant de ce constat, l’article étudie le cas particulier d’une société engagée depuis 2000 dans l’initiation des enfants à la musique classique et dans la promotion de la « culture de soi » chez les étudiants. On découvre alors comment cette entreprise remplace l’axe éthico-politique de l’éducation traditionnelle par une orientation éthico-esthétique remettant à l’honneur un confucianisme repensé comme art apolitique. Voie royale et éducation De ce point de vue, la dissociation entre le confucianisme et transformatrice, paroles et le système éducatif et politique est bel et bien à l’origine de sons de sagesse son déclin, et de son destin actuel d’« âme errante» (3).

The current Confucian revival associates the “sacred”, power and knowledge whereas modernity is characterized by a differentiation between institutions and values. The paradoxical situation of Confucianism in modern society constitutes the background of the present article that explores the case of a private company involved in promoting classical Chinese music to children and “self-cultivation” to students. Its original conception of “education through music” paves the way for a new “ethical and aesthetic” teaching method that leaves aside the traditional associations of ethics with politics. By the same token, it opens the possibility for a non-political Confucianism to provide a relevant contribution in the field of education today.
