Qualitative Research Methodology in Music Education

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

A freckled third grader approaches the music teacher in the corridor and hands her a stack of 3 X 5 cards. “Thirty-six,” he announces proudly. Back in her office Rebecca Grant puts the cards in an envelope on which she neatly writes, “Daniel Wang, 36,” and posts it on the wall near three other envelopes. This latest is Daniel’s entry in the Composer’s Facts competition, this week featuring Aaron Copland. Were curious eyes to pry, they would find information about Copland’s birthdate, milestones, compositions, and books. Winners will get musical handbags, musical rulers, musical paraphernalia which Rebecca orders (and pays for with her own money) from a mail-order firm specializing in music items.
