Creative Musical Activities in Undergraduate Music Education Curricula
Piazza, Erik S.; Talbot, Brent C.
Journal of Music Teacher Education, v30 n2 p37-50 Feb 2021
Music education majors report low exposure to creative musical activities (CMAs) despite increased discourse surrounding the inclusion of CMAs in standards, curricula, publications, and practice. The purpose of this study was to compare preservice music teachers' (PMT) and music teacher educators' (MTE) experiences with CMAs. We used an anonymous survey instrument to explore definitions, perceived importance and preparedness, and the incorporation of CMAs within undergraduate music education curricula. MTEs and PMTs valued the inclusion of CMAs in preK-12 curricula, PMTs felt most prepared to teach arranging and least prepared to teach composing with their future preK-12 students, and PMTs valued and desired more opportunities to practice CMAs in undergraduate curricula. MTEs should consider integrating these activities as regular components in undergraduate music curricula.
