Development and Interactions of Instructor and Student Musical Identities in a University Introductory Music Course for Non-music Majors. Unpublished Master of Music thesis or creative project, University of Northern Colorado, 2021. The purpose of this study Was to investigate student and instructor musical identities in the context of a university music course intended for non- music majors. Participants Were the instructor of an introductory music course and 16 of her students at a medium-sized university in the Western United States. Study of this group of participants and their interactions throughout one 15-week semester led to greater understanding of their roles in music as Well as better insight into the many Ways in Which they formed connections betWeen music and their identity concepts. The research alloWed for the development of assertions based on participant perceptions regarding identities and the development and interactions of those perceptions over time. Of the 17 total participants, nine student participants and the one instructor participated in three 1-hour intervieW sessions each. These intervieWs Were used to generate the majority of the data used in the study. Data Were also gathered in the forms of five class observations and various documents related to the class. Analysis of these data sources led to three primary assertions regarding the musical identities of participants, the development of those musical identities, and the Ways in Which they Were related to instructor-student iii interactions. First, student participants generally vieWed interaction With their instructor as having some influences on their musical identities particularly With regard to contextualizing or reinforcing identities. Second, student participants believed that their preexisting and developing musical identities Were impactful on the effects Which the introductory music course had on their lives. Third, various effects Which the instructor had on the musical identities of student participants in this case study Were influenced by her oWn preexisting and developing musical identities. These assertions suggest that instructor and student musical identities can interact in Ways Which create noticeable changes for all of those involved in introductory music courses for non-music majors. Instructors and leaders involved With similar classes may consider the possibility that neither instructors nor students have direct control over many of the musical identities Which could affect instructor-student interaction. Instructors in similar classes should also consider the possibility that demonstrating and maintaining interest in student identities may serve to increase their understanding of their students and contribute to more effective instruction. Additionally, While there may be benefits to presenting unbiased perspectives on course content, instructors of similar courses may Wish to consider that alloWing students some knoWledge of their oWn identities may have a positive effect on instructor-student interaction. Lastly, the study demonstrates the potential that introductory music courses for non- music majors may have a marked impact on student identities. University leaders and instructors Who are considering the development, continuation, or removal of iv such courses should accept that these classes may be highly impactful on the experiences and identity developments of certain students. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The researcher Would like to extend his thanks to the folloWing people.

Indeed, it Was John Blacking (1973/2000) Who said, “the nature from Which man has selected his musical styles is not only external to him; it includes his oWn nature” (p. 25). Blacking’s seminal research on the Venda people and cultures of the African continent re-defined how the musical community thinks about music outside of a Western art music paradigm. While his Work pre-dates much of the scholarship used today in defining musical identities, even in 1973, one can see characteristics of the ideas of music in identities (MII) and identities in music (IIM) addressed in the research presented here. In Blacking’s vieW, music is a part of Who We are as humans, both as individuals and as contributors to our society, our culture,

It is one of the most expressive art forms our society holds. Due this expressive nature, the art of making music can hold many social connotations and directly involve or relate itself to social occurrences, movements and ideals. This intertwined relationship thus allows music to be a conductor of social change by existing and working within these various social constructs. In addition, those involved with the music-making business are, by association, also potential conductors of social change.

  • How to Effectively Listen and Enjoy a Classical Music Concert
    HOW TO EFFECTIVELY LISTEN AND ENJOY A CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT 1. INTRODUCTION Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available to human beings. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the musicians as they create it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live. This guide focuses on classical music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual. It can also scare you to death. Classical music concerts can seem like snobby affairs full of foreign terminology and peculiar behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. Not to worry. Concerts are no weirder than any other pastime, and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than, say, the stock market, football, or system software upgrades. If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been baffled by concerts, this guide will explain the rigmarole so you can relax and enjoy the music. 2. THE LISTENER'S JOB DESCRIPTION Classical music concerts can seem intimidating. It seems like you have to know a lot.

    Albany Fire Department 2020 Annual Report Mission, Vision, and Values The Albany Fire Department has an established mission: Prevent and Protect From Harm. It is the vision of the Albany Fire Department to be a diversified, safety- conscious, professional organization striving to be a leader in the fire service and community; participating in partnerships with private, public, and nonprofit organizations; continually looking for innovative means of delivering services; maintaining a high level of technical proficiencies through training and education; and understanding that the priority is to prevent rather than react to an emergency. We are courteous, caring, take pride in doing our job, and provide excellent community services. Chief’s Message was an unprecedented year in the history of the Albany Fire Department and our members handled the challenges presented with professionalism, flexibility, and a 2020 focus on safety for our community. As Chief, I am extremely proud of the work the members of Albany Fire Department did this past year. It was busy with emergency calls, requests for services, and adapting to a changing world but our members responded to these challenges in a manner that can make our community proud. In March, the coronavirus put our department in a position where we had to evolve the way we deliver service. Unlike many other professions, we cannot work from home, nor can we close. Instead, we had to adapt and transform how we respond to emergencies in manner that protects those we serve, treats those who need our help, and still protect firefighters and their families from contracting the virus.

Education plays an important role in reducing the number of fire-related injuries and deaths. The Hartford’s Junior Fire Marshal program empowers children by giving them the tools they need to take an active role in reducing risk in their homes and communities. This guide is organized into two sections. The first, Fire Safety: Causes and Prevention, identifies common fire risks, such as smoking and cooking, and offers strategies for reducing those risks. The second section, Fire Safety: Preparing for and Reacting to an Emergency, provides children with information on what to do if they are confronted by a hazardous situation. Each lesson includes an objective, supporting information and one or two activities. The program is designed for children in kindergarten through 3rd grade. For nearly 200 years, The Hartford has helped families remain safe and secure. It is for this reason that the Junior Fire Marshal Program was created in 1947 to teach children the basics of personal fire safety and give families the information they need to be prepared in a fire emergency. The program helps educators and parents share fire safety and prevention tips with children in an easy, engaging way.
