Voluntary versus compulsory upper elementary choir participation: A comparison of performance evaluations
No full textThis study’s purpose was to compare performance evaluations given by musicians and nonmusicians to upper elementary choirs with either voluntary or compulsory participation. Subjects were undergraduate music majors (n = 32) and non-music majors (n = 24) enrolled in a music methods course or choral ensemble. Subjects rated three different elementary choirs using a 10-point Likert scale and wrote comments on the best and worst aspects of each selection. The independent variable was participation in each choir: Choir 1 was volun-tary, Choir 3 was compulsory, and Choir 2 was a mix of vol-untary and compulsory. Results showed no significant differ-ence between the three choirs’ ratings or between the ratings of majors vs. nonmajors. All written comments of majors and nonmajors for best aspect were significantly different (p < .05). Written comments pertaining only to musical character-istics were significantly different for best aspect (p < .01) and worst aspect (p < .05).Originally published: Missouri Journal of Research in Music Education, No. 41, 2004, 4-19

The effect of vocal hygiene and behavior modification instruction on the self-reported vocal health habits of public school music teachers
No full textThis study examined the effects of vocal hygiene and behavior modification instruction on self-reported behaviors of music teachers. Subjects (N = 76) reported daily behaviors for eight weeks: water consumption, warm-up, talking over music/noise, vocal rest, non-verbal commands, and vocal problems. Subjects were in experimental group 1 or 2, or the control group. Both experimental groups received vocal hygiene instruction. Experimental group 2 also received behavior modification information designed to help teachers individually identify and correct their vocal problems. Results showed experimental group 2 significantly increased vocal rest and significantly decreased reports of vocal problems in the weeks closest to treatment. Although differences provide limited information, the indications stress the importance of behavior modification’s inclusion in vocal hygiene programs. Individual variance implies some subjects have difficulty managing vocal hygiene routines. Additional study of effects of multiple, varied treatment sessions may clarify the impact of treatments over extended periods of time.The published version of this article appeared in International Journal of Music Education, vol. 25, no. 1, April 2007, copyright International Society for Music Education.
