This practicum project implemented and evaluated a strategy intended to increase the use of multicultural education in a middle-to-upper-class suburban child care center with 92 percent Caucasian enrollment. The strategy involved a four-part process: development of resource lists, exploration of teachers' attitudes, improvement of multicultural materials available for use, and increase in teachers' knowledge about diversity, with information provided during weekly meetings. Post-intervention data indicated that, overall, the use of multicultural education in the center increased. Teachers included multicultural activities in all areas of the curriculum on a regular basis, and more materials were available for classroom use as a result of parent donations and the development of a resource room. (Seventeen appendices include an anti-bias checklist, book checklist, a list of broad goals of teaching from a multicultural perspective, and an array of multicultural materials. Contains 24 references and an 86-item bibliography.)(Author/EV) ******************************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. ******************************************************************************** U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Office of Educational Research and Improvement EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC) \A Thisdocument has been reproduced as received from the person or organization 00 originating it.

Hartke, Cheryl L., 1997. Practicum Report, Nova Southeastern University, Master's Programs In Life Span Care And Administration. Descriptors: Preschool Multicultural Education Curriculum / Preschool Anti-bias Curriculum / Preschool Multicultural Materials / Preschool Teacher Training In Multicultural Education / Preschool Multicultural Literature. The inclusion of multicultural education into the curriculum of child care centers is becoming a necessity as the ethnic make-up of society continues to change. Children living in a homogenous community and also attending a daycare with a homogeneous population must be exposed to multicultural education as part of the daily curriculum. This is essential in order to provide experiences that are not available due to the ethnic make-up of the community and child care center. The author designed and implemented a strategy intended to increase the use of multicultural education through a four part process. The process included: development of resource lists, exploration of teachers' attitudes, improvement of multicultural materials available for use, and increasing teachers' knowledge with information provided during weekly meetings. Overall, the use of multicultural education increased. Teachers included multicultural activities in all areas of the curriculum on a regular basis, more materials are now available for classroom use as a result of parent donations and the development of a resource room. Teachers also have more ideas for planning multicultural activities due to the material included in the appendices of this report. Continuation of the above efforts 4 3 and further training will keep improving the use of multicultural education at the author's center. 4 Table of Contents Chapter Page I.

It is approximately 15 miles north of a large metropolitan area. It is a private, for profit corporation which began operation in 1965. The center enrolls children from 6 weeks of age through kindergarten during the school year. A school age program for children up to age 10 is added during the months of June, July and August. The child care center operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 6:45 P.M. and is closed only for six major holidays each year. The licensed capacity for the center is 300 children. At the time of this report the daily enrollment fluctuates from 250 to the upper 200's. Tuition fees provide the monetary funding for the infant and preschool program. Tuition along with state funded money allocated through the public school district's auxiliary funds, provides the monetary resources for the chartered kindergarten program. The center opened for business in 1965 with an enrollment of 12 children. Through the years the facility had expanded as the community changed from an agricultural base to an industrial base. Farmland became the sites of new homes and buildings for new types of industry. Sue Bennett (personal communication, December 30, 1996) from the local Chamber of Commerce provided the figures for comparing the residential population to the work-day population. By comparing these figures, the growth of the industrial base was easily seen. At the time of this report, the residential population was 13,000 while the work-day population increased to about 70,000 people. 7 Because of the large number of people coming into the community to work, child care services were in high demand. The Chamber of Commerce also provided information concerning the type and amount of businesses operating within the city. The community had approximately 2,000 businesses, most of which were small, office related or professional work places that provide health services. The community had a few companies which did light, industrial work, but there were no large factories that did heavy, industrial work. The different ethnic groups that were served by the center were very similar to the population of the community in which the center was located. This was determined by comparing the figures provided by the local Chamber of Commerce and the figures that the center provides to the State Department of Education each year. S. Bennett (personal communication, December 30, 1996) from the local Chamber of Commerce provided the information obtained from

    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.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This malarial was producad from a microfilm copy of tha original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, tha quality is heavily dependant upon tha quality of tha original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from tha document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing paga(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pagas to insure you complete continuity. 2. Whan an imaga on die film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that tha photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus causa a blurred image. You w ill find a good image o f tha page in the adjacent frame. 3. Whan a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed tha photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" tha material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper le ft hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from le ft to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that tha textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be mads from "photographs" if essential to tha understanding of tha dissertation.

The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Ton de Leeuw (1926–1996) is widely regarded as one of the most important post-war Dutch composers. Taught among others by Olivier Messiaen and Jaap Kunst, and strongly influenced by non-Western music, De Leeuw was a teacher at the University of Amsterdam and professor of composition and electronic music at the Amsterdam Conservatory from 1959 to 1986, a position in which he educated many Dutch composers active today. His book Music of the Twentieth Century, first published in 1964, is still regarded as an authoritative work. Despite De Leeuw’s formidable reputation as composer and teacher, and the regular performance of his works, hardly any scholarly research into his oeuvre has yet been undertaken. The current study is an attempt to change this, exploring five of De Leeuw’s later choral compositions as representative of the style he described in terms of ‘extended modality’.

  • In Conversation with Bruce Cockburn

    In Conversation with Bruce Cockburn

    IN CONVERSATION WITH BRUCE COCKBURN BY M.D. Dunn Bruce Cockburn laughs a lot. It might surprise people familiar with only his heavier songs or the many causes he has championed. He even makes jokes, clever and funny jokes. His conversation is punctuated by belly laughs and a wit that runs from dry and cutting to outright silliness. Truth is, this legendary songwriter doesn’t recognize his own legend. Throughout his 50-year career, which he calls a “careen,” Cockburn has participated in numerous grassroots actions: working to help ban landmines in Mozambique and elsewhere, supporting the Haida and the Lubicon Cree in land rights disputes, promoting sustainable farming, and witnessing the desperation of refugees in Central America. Many of these concerns end up in his songs and have perpetuated the image of a cold intellectual, a worldly and jaded observer of human folly. WINTER / HIVER 2020 15 His autobiography, Rumours of Glory (Harper Collins, 2014), is one of the most impressive and articulate musical memoirs in recent memory. While the book does discuss Cockburn’s life, it is more accurately a document of some of the major conflicts and cultural developments of the late 20th century. Like its author, the memoir looks outward, always working to recognize truth behind appearance. He has also championed literature in an artform that often draws from humanity’s baser interests. His lyrics are precise, often narrative in form, sometimes brutal. Yet, listening closely, there is also humour, faith, and undaunted hope. The song “Maybe the Poet” from the 1984 album Stealing Fire argues for the importance of poetry, even if it goes unacknowledged by the greater culture.

  • The Use of Pianistic and Non-Pianistic Imagery in Solo Piano Performance

    The Use of Pianistic and Non-Pianistic Imagery in Solo Piano Performance

    The Use of Pianistic and Non-Pianistic Imagery in Solo Piano Performance: The Case of Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 By Tianrong Li Supervisor Professor Dillon Parmer A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music © Tianrong Li, Ottawa, Canada, 2018 Abstract/ Abstrait: _ This study presents a framework for categorization of the imagery used in solo piano practice. The framework sorts imagery into two large category: pianistic and non-pianistic and further subdivides into three groups: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual. Given such a range of ​ function for imagery, such as a “view” of the score, instrument, or the space in which performance takes place, a number of terms have emerged to describe imagery within musical practice, terms such as mental rehearsal, mental practice, aural or internal representations, inner hearing, visualization, and finger practice. My goal for this study is not only to investigate the potential of imagery and to devise a framework in which such terms could be defined with more consistency across the whole scope of piano performance studies; but also to apply such findings by suggesting ways in which the framework could be used in practice. With an understanding of ​ ​ imagery and the benefits it may bring, this study suggests paths for further exploration, paths that can impact how music educators might assist music enhance expression, music appreciation and learning, as well as technique in performance practice. Cette étude présente un cadre pour la catégorisation des images utilisées dans la pratique du piano solo.
