Musical Movements Preparation

• The Beat (Pulse) is the heart of any song

• Dancers move to the beat

• Band leaders count songs in to the beat

(E.G. 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4)

• Most people naturally feel the beat, and

naturally move to the beat

The Beat (Pulse) of a Song is measured

in BPM (Beats Per Minute)

Examples:

60 beats per minute would be a very slow beat,

with exactly one beat per second

120 beats per minute is very quick, with

exactly 2 beats per second (most dance songs

are recorded at 120 BPM)

A metronome can be used

to provide exact Beats Per

Minute

If you do not have one,

you can use a metronome

The Generalist Teacher:

Anyone with a P/J designation can

be assigned to teach music from

Grades 1-6, while a J/I designation

can be assigned to teach music from

Grades 4-8 (and technically up to

grade 10)

Generalist Teacher Music Training:

• Many teacher education programs have

minimal instruction in music

• Any generalist teacher with private

music training (or studied music in high

school) has an advantage

Nipissing:

• 36 hours music only instruction is on

the high end

School Board Policies on

Music Specialists Vs. Generalist Teachers

•Very complicated issue -- varies from Board to Board

Example:

York Region Public has music teacher specialists

starting as early as grade 4 in some of their

schools (not all)

School Board Policies on

Music Specialists Vs. Generalist Teachers

Example:

Up until a few years

ago, York Region

Catholic had music

teacher specialists

starting in Grade 9

School Board Policies on

Music Specialists Vs. Generalist Teachers

•Very complicated issue -- varies from Board to Board

Example:

Many Boards (such

as Toronto Catholic

DSB) hires non-

certified teachers

(musicians) and

calls them itinerant

teachers

According to a Report Released by

People for Education (May 15, 2017):

“Only 41% of elementary schools have a

specialist music teacher, either full- or

part-time, a decline from 48% in 2006/07,

and a dramatic drop from an all-time high

of 58% in 1997/98.”

What is the Outcome of so Many

Music Education Delivery Models?

•Many generalist teachers do not teach

music, which means they are breaking

the law, and no one really seems to care.

Many parents don’t even know that

schools must teach music.

What is the Outcome of so Many

Music Education Delivery Models?

•Even when generalist teachers teach

music, it is often literacy based (write a

paper/project on your favourite

singer/band)

Page 30: J/I MUSIC Dr. John L. Vitale Session #2B (Or Not 2B ...drjohnvitale.weebly.com/uploads/4/9/9/...session_2b...by Ella Fitzgerald Step #1: As we listen to the song, fill in the blanks

Please share your own experiences of music

education in elementary school. What model

of music education were you subjected to?

What Does This All Mean in Ontario?

In General . . . .

(1) If you are hired to teach grade 1, 2, or 3,

you WILL be expected to teach music

(2) If you are hired to teach grade 4,5,6,7, &

8, you MAY (about a 59% chance) be

expected to teach music

Because of budget cutbacks, many school boards

are not hiring music specialist teachers

“Clearly, some teachers who consider

themselves non-musicians are successful as

teachers of music in elementary schools.

Ironically, it may be these teachers who provide

the strongest reinforcement for the notion that

all generalist teachers can succeed.”

Bartel, L & Cameron, L (2002). Self-Efficacy in Teachers Teaching Music. Paper

presented at the conference of the American Education Research Association, Music

Education SIG, New Orleans, April 2, 2002.

Teaching music and being a

musician are two different things!

The Bottom Line:

Generalist Teachers Can Become

Dynamic and Successful Music Educators

Regardless of Musical Training!

“All generalist teachers can

succeed in the music

classroom!”

The 3 Major Strands Across the Arts

Page #13

(1) Creating and Presenting/Performing

(2) Reflecting, Responding, and Analyzing

(3) Exploring Forms and Cultural Contexts

How do these strands apply to music?

Page 37: J/I MUSIC Dr. John L. Vitale Session #2B (Or Not 2B ...drjohnvitale.weebly.com/uploads/4/9/9/...session_2b...by Ella Fitzgerald Step #1: As we listen to the song, fill in the blanks

The Three Major Strands are the basis for the

overall (year end) expectations for each grade

Overall Expectations for Grade 4 Music (pg. 104)

By the end of Grade 4, students will:

C1. Creating and Performing: apply the creative process (see pages 19–22) to

create and perform music for a variety of purposes, using the elements and

techniques of music;

C2. Reflecting, Responding, and Analyzing: apply the critical analysis

process (see pages 23–28) to communicate their feelings, ideas, and

understandings in response to a variety of music and musical

experiences;

C3. Exploring Forms and Cultural Contexts: demonstrate an understanding

of a variety of musical genres and styles from the past and present, and their

sociocultural and historical contexts.

Fundamental Concepts: The Six Elements of Music

As Per the Ontario Arts Curriculum Document

(1) Duration

(2) Pitch

(3) Dynamics & Other Expressive Controls

(4) Timbre

(5) Texture/Harmony

(6) Form

***Different music scholars approach musical elements in different

ways. Sometimes there are more, and sometimes less.***

These six elements constitute the

“specific expectations” for each grade

(5) Texture/Harmony:Adding different layers or elements to music creates a musical “tapestry.”

Some Examples . . .

(i) Monophonic Texture: Includes a single melodic line

with no accompaniment.

(ii) Homophonic Texture: The most common texture in

Western music: melody and accompaniment. Multiple

voices of which one, the melody, stands out

prominently and the others form a background of

harmonic accompaniment.

(iii) Polyphonic Texture: Multiple melodic voices which

are to a considerable extent independent from or in

imitation with one another.
