  • An Investigation of the Perceived Impact of the Inclusion of Steel Pan Ensembles in Collegiate Curricula in the Midwest
    AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PERCEIVED IMPACT OF THE INCLUSION OF STEEL PAN ENSEMBLES IN COLLEGIATE CURRICULA IN THE MIDWEST by BENJAMIN YANCEY B.M., University of Central Florida, 2009 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC School of Music, Theatre and Dance College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Kurt Gartner Abstract The current study is an in depth look of the impact of steel pan ensemble within the college curriculum of the Midwest. The goal of the study is to further understand what perceived impacts steel pan ensemble might have on student learning through the perceptions of both instructors and students. The ensemble's impact on the students’ senses of rhythm, ability to listen and balance in an ensemble, their understanding of voicing and harmony, and appreciation of world music were all investigated through both the perceptions of the students as well as the instructors. Other areas investigated were the role of the instructor to determine how their teaching methods and topics covered impacted the students' opinion of the ensemble. This includes, but is not limited to, time spent teaching improvisation, rote teaching versus Western notation, and adding historical context by teaching the students the history of the ensemble. The Midwest region was chosen both for its high density of collegiate steel pan ensembles as well as its encompassing of some of the oldest pan ensembles in the U.S. The study used an explanatory mixed methodology employing two surveys, a student version and an instructor version, distributed to the collegiate steel pan ensembles of the Midwest via the internet.

  • Theo Bikel with Pete Seeger (And More)
    Theo Bikel with Pete Seeger (and more) First, here’s another item for consideration by people who think that Pete Seeger was anti-Israel. (If you haven’t already, read Hillel Schenker’s recent post on this.) We have the permission of Gerry Magnes — active with the Albany, NY regional J Street chapter, who married into an Israeli family — to quote what he emailed the other day: Thought I would share a small anecdote my father in law once told me. He’s 95 and still living on a kibbutz (Kibbutz Evron) in the Western Galilee. Last winter, when my wife and I mentioned to him that we’d just attended a Pete Seeger concert . in Schenectady, . he related how he’d seen him perform (I think in Tel Aviv), probably in ’64. When he [Seeger] began to speak about the Israeli-Palestinian/Arab conflict at that time and his hopes for peace, he began to cry. He had to stop talking or singing for a bit until he could collect himself. The sincerity and depth of feeling left a deep impression on my father in law. http://www.cookephoto.com/dylanovercome.html Partners’ board chair Theodore Bikel goes back a long way with Seeger. They were part of the original board (with Oscar Brand, George Wein and Albert Grossman) that founded the Newport Folk Festival. This image captures a festival high point in 1963, with Theo and Seeger (at right) joining Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, the Freedom Singers and Peter, Paul and Mary to sing “We Shall Overcome.” Here’s Theo singing Hine Ma Tov with Seeger and Rashid Hussain (the latter identified as a Palestinian poet) from episode 29 of the 39-episode run of the “Rainbow Quest” UHF television series (1965-66), dedicated to folk music and hosted by Seeger: Upon hearing of Seeger’s passing, Theo wrote this on his Facebook page: An era has come to an end.

  • The Folk Club Of
    The Folk Club of Reston - Herndon Volume 21, Issue 10 Preserving the traditions of October 2004 Folk Music, Folklore and Gentle Folk Ways October 18 Showcase – T.M Hanna By T.M. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody at the Folk Club for all the support, friendship, and music that you have shared over the years. When I first started attending the Club, I believe about sixteen years ago, I had very limited experience performing in public. Since then I have performed in over a hundred smoky bars, three dozen coffeehouses, seven festivals, and four churches. I’m told I hold the record for showcase performances, although I am uncertain exactly how many I have done (I probably hold a similar record for accompanying other showcase performers, too). My first one really didn’t go all that well, but, as always, the Club members were very encouraging. Fortunately, that was in the days before recording devices. While attending the Folk Club, I have heard musicians and instruments from all over the country, and many parts of the world as well. I’ve seen performers gain confidence and improve their musical abilities by leaps and bounds. I have seen Club members who have moved on to Nashville, or to touring the country with songs that we first heard here. I've heard some of the best live music ever, as well as some of the worst, sometimes in the same night! I have seen nights when the room was packed and chairs were at a premium, and nights when the place was nearly deserted, but I’ve never seen a night when there wasn’t at least one person willing to listen to a song or two.

  • Pete Seeger: a Singer of Folk Songs
    LINGUACULTURE 2, 2020 PETE SEEGER: A SINGER OF FOLK SONGS DAVID LIVINGSTONE Palacký University Abstract Pete Seeger would have turned one hundred and one on May 3 of this year. To commemorate these ten decades plus one year, I would like to look at eleven of the most remarkable aspects of Pete Seeger’s life, work and legacy. This paper will examine the cultural impact and oral tradition of the music, songs and books of Pete Seeger. This legendary folk musician's career spanned eight decades and touched on many of the key historical developments of the day. He is responsible for some of the iconic songs which have not only helped define American culture, but even beyond. Seeger was also a pioneer in a number of fields, using his music to propagate political convictions, ecological themes, civil rights, world music, education, etc. The folk singer also had his finger on the pulse of a number of developments in American history and culture. He was friends with a number of prominent musicians and artists and influenced an entire range of younger musicians and activists. Keywords: Pete Seeger; Folk music; American history; Social activism; Civil Rights movement Family Pete Seeger’ family was a powerhouse of talent, musically and beyond. Charles Seeger (1886-1979), his father, was a renowned musicologist who held a number of prominent university positions. His political convictions, obviously on the left, were also instrumental in forming his son’s ideological worldview. His mother Constance de Clyver (1886-1975) was also a musician although not as accomplished by far as his stepmother Ruth Seeger (1901-1953) (mother to Mike and Peggy).
