  • A Relational Analysis of Pedagogical Methods for Accordion, Electronic Keyboard, Organ, and Piano
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MUSIC A RELATIONAL ANALYSIS OF PEDAGOGICAL METHODS FOR ACCORDION, ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD, ORGAN, AND PIANO By Brian Douglas Berlin Liberty University A MASTER’S THESIS PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSIC EDUCATION Liberty University April, 2017 2 A RELATIONAL ANALYSIS OF PEDAGOGICAL METHODS FOR ACCORDION, ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD, ORGAN, AND PIANO by Brian Douglas Berlin A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Music Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA April, 2017 APPROVED BY: _________________________________________________ DAVID K. SCHMAL, DMA Committee Chair _________________________________________________ DANIEL SUTTLES, DMA Committee Member _________________________________________________ VERNON M. WHALEY, PhD Dean of the School of Music 3 ABSTRACT While it is expected that musicians specialize in a single area, like piano, a complete keyboard education should also incorporate experiences on all keyboard instruments. There is no single method that teaches multiple keyboard instruments simultaneously. Willard Palmer, Bill Hughes, Morton Manus, and Amanda Vick Lethco co-wrote independent courses of instruction for different keyboard instruments: accordion, electronic keyboard, organ, and piano. However, no guide to align the material exists. This study establishes objective criteria for aligning these courses and provides a cross-reference tool. The samples chosen for analysis include: Alfred’s Basic Piano Library, Palmer-Hughes Accordion Course, Palmer-Hughes Spinet Organ Course, and Alfred's Basic Electronic Keyboard Method. Relational (content) analysis methodology is employed. The analytical units consist of elements taken from the printed music and are categorized as form elements and action elements. Tabular and graphical analyses are employed to process the data.
