Research-to-Resource: Effective Incorporation of World Music into the Music Classroom
Henninger, Jacqueline
Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, v37 n1 p5-8 Oct 2018
As the demographics of our nation continue to evolve, music educators have a responsibility to embrace the opportunities they have to increase their students' levels of awareness and acceptance of others who may represent different ethnic groups. The following research-to-resource article will provide background information and recommendations for instructional approaches one may use when sharing world music with students in the music classroom. Researchers have shown that providing students with opportunities to learn about and perform music representative of other cultures may positively affect their music preferences, music familiarities, and levels of respect for, acceptance of, and appreciation for others. To do this most effectively, teachers should address music concepts and sociocultural contexts, involve cultural insiders, be cognizant of elements of authenticity, and enable students to be engaged in active music-making opportunities.
