For this, the chosen research object was the Youth Choir of the Adventist Institute of Education of Santa Catarina. The reference used is based on the concept of community of practice, as proposed by Lave and Wenger (1991), from which the learning occurs from interactions between people who perform the same activity, the practice being primarily responsible for this learning. The work seeks to understand how the musical practice of students encompasses their past and current musical experiences. Then, the study devotes to understanding how social relations between members of the community of practice of the Youth Choir influence the musical development of the singers in order to exchange musical experiences that happen daily in that context. Finally, from the perspective of the interviewed students, the research reflects on musical and extra-musical learning experiences offered by the choir and how this learning occurs, from the social perspective. The results confirm the importance of social interactions as motivators and promoters of musical experiences that result in learning and development, and suggest the use of this resource in music education / Esta dissertação é uma pesquisa do tipo etnográfico que pretende compreender de que forma a interação social pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento e a aprendizagem musical dentro do coral jovem. Para tanto, o objeto de pesquisa escolhido foi o Coral Jovem do Instituto Adventista de Ensino de Santa Catarina (IAESC). O referencial utilizado baseia-se no conceito de comunidade de prática, como proposto por Lave e Wenger (1991), que postula que a aprendizagem acontece a partir das interações entre pessoas que desempenham uma mesma atividade, sendo a prática a principal responsável por esta aprendizagem. O trabalho procura compreender como a prática musical dos alunos contempla suas experiências anteriores bem como as atuais em música. Em seguida dedica-se a entender como as relações sociais entre os membros da comunidade de prática Coral Jovem do IAESC influenciam no desenvolvimento musical dos mesmos tendo em vista a troca de experiências musicais que acontece diariamente naquele contexto. Finalmente, a partir da perspectiva dos alunos entrevistados, reflete sobre as aprendizagens musicais e extra-musicais proporcionadas pela experiência coral e como esta aprendizagem acontece na perspectiva social. Os resultados confirmam a importância das interações sociais como incentivadoras e promotoras de experiências musicais que resultam na aprendizagem e desenvolvimento e sugerem a utilização deste recurso no processo educativo-musical

In this study, I examined the awareness, perceptions of required knowledge, and perceived competency of Texas secondary choral music educators concerning the new musician health objectives included in the revised Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards (TEKS). A secondary purpose of this study was to identify the activities and variables that promote the development of these characteristics and prepare educators to address the standards in their instruction. Using a researcher-designed web-based survey instrument, I gathered data from participants who were actively teaching choir in secondary public schools in the state of Texas (N = 183). As part of the survey, participants reported the highest degree they had attained and field of study, the completion of choral methods and vocal pedagogy courses during their training, participation in professional development, and years of teaching experience. Findings revealed that a majority of participants (53.01%) were not aware of the health-related standards prior to taking the survey. A majority also did not consider each objective as required curricular components (hydration: 69.95%, vocal health: 39.89%, body mechanics: 61.75%, hearing protection: 68.85%, hygienic practice: 69.96%). Participants did rate themselves highly for perceived competency, a measure including adherence to competent practices and views of personal ability. There were no statistically significant main effects observed for any variable on awareness and perceptions of knowledge. I did observe significant main effects of degree level and major, professional development participation, and completion of a choral methods course for measures of perceived competency.

The purpose of this study was to explore adolescent self-views of singing ability through both implicit theories and self-concept meaning systems. A secondary purpose of this study was to examine these self-views specifically in the context of a choral hierarchy. Using a researcher-designed survey instrument, I gathered data from middle- and high-school students currently enrolled in a choir program organized in a hierarchical structure. I analyzed descriptive statistics of survey responses to items designed to measure implicit theories of singing ability, singing self-concept, and goal orientation. I also examined differences among participants by ensemble placement in implicit theory and self-concept scores, correlation between implicit theory and self-concept, and whether implicit theory, self-concept, goal orientation, or current enrollment could predict future enrollment decisions. In addition to these quantitative measures, I coded open-ended responses to two failure scenarios and examined participant responses by ensemble and gender. Both implicit theory and self-concept scores were higher for participants at the top of the choral hierarchy than at the bottom. Open-ended responses, however, did not align with the implicit theory scale and a number of students presented a false growth mindset. Open-ended responses also indicated that failure scenarios were likely to result in an altered view of the self and shame in placement in an ensemble at the bottom of the choral hierarchy. The means scores for participants in the middle- and high-school ensembles in both implicit theory and self-concept were significantly different, with participants in the high-school ensembles having higher scores in both constructs. Implicit theory and self-concept were significantly related, and self-concept, goal orientation, and current enrollment significantly predicted future enrollment decisions.

Choral music has played an important role in the liberation of South African people, and it is still very popular today, including among Setswana-speaking choral groups. This study looks at the role of music, particularly choral music, in the expression of Setswana-speakers’ identity as well as the psychological effects on the psychosocial well-being of the choristers. A qualitative research approach, supported by in-depth interviews, was adopted in this study to better understand the singing experiences of two male choir conductors and two female choristers. For this purpose, thematic analysis technique was employed. The results indicate that singing in the choir contributes to the choristers’ physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being as well as to their identity formation. Participants also highlighted challenges such as time constraints, poor leadership, socio-economic conditions, unforeseen circumstances, discrimination against younger members, love affairs, and gossip within the choral groups. The results indicate a positive and socially engaging contribution of choral music in the expression of identity as well as in the sense of belonging and connection of choristers. The findings are in line with the literature and indicate that participation in a choir enhances and strengthens psychosocial well-being, that is self-discipline, healthy lifestyle, self-confidence, self-esteem, motivation, physical fitness, emotional expressivity, emotional processing and stress relief, social responsibility, moral growth and development, mental alertness and focus, upliftment and inspiration, connection with God, and nurtures the community social fabric. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

The starting point was the course program of the discipline Choral Singing, in the Technical Course in Instrument at the Goias Federal Institute (IFG), class of 2010, as it related to the rest of the program. This investigation was based upon the evaluation of applied questionnaires, as well as upon the artistic results obtained. The investigation is to be guided by evaluation of questionnaires during the search. Part of this work is dedicated to report the author's experience as a conductor of the IFG, with emphasis on the occurrence of curriculum integration elements throughout. It was possible to verify that the curriculum integration, still occurs in a partial manner at the above mentioned institution. Therefore, the full potential of this integration has not been achieved as yet. / O presente estudo relata a experiência do autor enquanto regente do Coro do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Goiás, na medida em que apresenta os conteúdos trabalhados na disciplina Canto Coral do Curso Técnico em Instrumento Musical, e ressalta a ocorrência de aspectos integradores disciplinares. Tomou-se como ponto de partida o programa da referida disciplina, no ano letivo de 2010, relacionando-a às demais disciplinas técnicas do curso. O estudo se norteou pela avaliação de questionários elaborados aplicados aos sujeitos, pelo resultado das avaliações curriculares da disciplina, bem como pela verificação do desenvolvimento musical da turma no período. Verificou-se que, embora presente, a integração disciplinar ainda ocorre de forma parcial na referida instituição, não tendo ainda alcançado a totalidade do potencial a ela reservado entre as disciplinas de música.

This portfolio of compositions and exegesis submitted for the degree of Master of Music in Composition, at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, comprises original creative works supported by a detailed commentary. The creative investigation has focused on ‘Composing for a Choral Spectrum.’ This was investigated through practical experiments in choral composition, designed to test the compositional limitations of the choral spectrum, and resulted in a portfolio of choral works. The portfolio includes: simple choral works for young children in one part; choral works for children in two parts; choral works for children in three parts; a choral work for teenage treble voices; a multimedia choral work for boys with changing voices with a moving image DVD; a choral work for male voices; choral works for adult female voices; a complex choral work for adult choirs of a professional standard; and a larger scale choral and orchestral work. The exegesis provides a commentary on the genesis, composition processes, limitations and solutions, for each original work included in the portfolio. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1345050 / Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 2008
