Social and Musical Objectives or Experiences School Music Teachers Anticipate Their Students Will Achieve as a Result of Attending a Summer Music Camp
Richards, Eric W.
Contributions to Music Education, v38 n2 p61-72 2011
The purpose of this study was to investigate specific social and musical objectives or experiences school music teachers anticipate their students will achieve as a result of attending a summer music camp. A survey instrument was developed to collect demographic data and responses to questions regarding 14 specific musical and social variables. Subjects (N = 94) were Florida middle school and high school instrumental and choral music teachers. Results indicated relatively high means for musical objectives, but no significant difference between the overall ranking of musical and social variables. Additionally, a large number of qualitative responses were social in nature. Results suggest school music teachers consider both musical and social objectives to be important aspects of the summer music camp experience. Implications for music education and future research are discussed.
